On Friday afternoon Clockhouse selected a squad for a Year 3 and 4 football match against St Marys.
The team who won a tournament when in Year 2 looked excited to be playing together again!
The early exchanges were spent with both sides getting a feel for the contest. St Marys settled the quicker of the two sides scoring twice in the openning half. Clockhouse showed spells of their potential but were a little guilty of doing too much on the ball and leaving too much to do at the back. That being said Clockhouse were unlucky not to score themselves, Dillan C and Harry H both with chances.
As the second half started Clockhouse slightly changed their style of play and began to pass the ball around a lot more. It did not take long for Clocks to get a goal. Harry T burying the ball the back of the net following some good build up play from Zak F, Harrison D and Dillan C. Clockhouse were dominating possesion and territory in the second half. Following some sloppy defending from St Marys, Dillan C scored a good individual goal to tie the scores.
The game finished in end to end style. Clocks pushing on for the win and St Marys looking to counter attack. Harry T was unlucky not to win the contest when a ferocious shot was pushed wide by a fantastic save! Equally St Marys could of snatched it if it wasn't for the solid defence of Zak F, Alex C and Jesse O.
Mr Yarrow reflected on the match saying 'I think a draw was a fair result. Both teams had opportunities to win the match but a draw reflected both schools performances. The standard I thought was very high. There are some very bright stars in the making. I must say it was great to have two first time goalkeepers tonight in Max C & Mason R making such positive performances but then I could praise every child tonight for their attitude & performance. I hope they keep up the good work!'
FINAL SCORE: Clockhouse 2 vs 2 St Marys
SQUAD: Max C, Zak F, Alex C, Harry T (c), Dillan C, Harry H, Harrison D, Mason E and Jesse O.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Zak F
