Dominance in Defence sees Clocks Tag our way to victory!

Last Friday Clockhouse took two teams to St Peters Prep School in Brentwood for our first tag rugby matches of the school year.

The Royal Blues looked dangerous with the ball in hand trying to find opportunities to step through gaps whilst defensively securing many tag turnovers. In the 2nd half Clockhouse looked to use an offload style of play and spread the ball which seemed to bamboozle the St Peters defenders.

FINAL SCORE: St Peters 7 vs 15 Clockhouse Royals

SQUAD: Finlay O (c), Jake L, Hayden M, William S, Frankie L, Brooke A, Lily S-E andRuby N.

SCORERS: Frankie L, Jake L, Lily S-E,  William S and Finley O

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Hayden M

Our second match saw Clockhouse Navy's also playing St Peters. Both teams defended well and it took some time before Clockhouse managed to break the deadlock. Some nice passing and good decision making allowed Clocks to lead at half time. In the second half Clockhouse tried to stay positionally strong and organise a defensive line to effect further tag turnovers.

FINAL SCORE: St Peters 8 vs 16 Clockhouse Navy

SQUAD: Ella P (c), Kayleigh S, Frankie R, Max N, Kenneth A, Callum G, Rhys M-H and Shay M

SCORERS: Max N, Kayleigh S and Callum G

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Kayleigh S

Mr Yarrow reviewed the game saying 'It is always great to play Brentwood St Peters! Regardless of the sport the games are always competitive and they are fantastic hosts. Clockhouse looked good in attack and when we grew in confidence as the game went on we looked dangerous. But personally I want to highlight the defensive effort so many tag turnovers and a massive effort to realign and not concede silly penalties for offside.

Thank you to Sarah for her positive attitude and hard work at club alongside her farther and partner for their continued contributions. Our helpful parents help make sport at Clockhouse a huge success.

Well done to all the children in both Clockhouse teams!'
