Clocks advance in Borough Cup!

Clockhouse girls football team kicked off their cup campaign tonight in emphatic style.

Crowlands Primary School were the visitors to Clockhouse Lane. The game started in very scrappy style. Clockhouse possibly guilty of trying too much while Crowlands still looked to find their feet.

The games openning goal came following a long powerful run from defender Kayleigh S who managed to burst into the Crowlands box and assit Lily S-E. 

The first half remained a tricky contest despite Clockhouse finding the net twice more through Ruby N and Mia C.

Crowlands grew in confidence as the half wore on. Brooke A denying the Crowlands players from getting on the scoreboard amd Mia C unlucky not to add to her goal tally.

Clockhouse pushed on and put the contest out of the reach with an explosive start to the second half. Kayleigh S continuing with her runs from the back while Ruby N was a thorn in Crowlands side. Clocks put 3 more scores on the board. One of whom was Leah L scoring on debut.

Crowlands looked to attack further but as they pushed up a long ball from Andreja R put Mia C and Ruby N through for a two on one. Mia C unselfishly put Ruby N through on goal to complete a very well deserved hat-trick.

After the game Mr Yarrow said 'another great performance from our amazing girls team! The team linked up very nicely! 

This is another big positive for girls football, Clockhouse advancing to the next round of the Borough Cup while Crowlands become better and bettwr as the game went on. I am sure they could get a positive result next time out!

Thanks as always to Mr McGlinchey who led the girls in true Clockhouse style and to our young referee Daisy.

The girls played fantastically tonight and the support from everyone on the sideline was amazing! Thanks for the support and well done girls!'
