Clockhouse took two sides to partner club May and Baker RUFC. The Royals competing in the School Games Competition & the Navys competing in the Borough Festival.
Both sides made very promising starts winning their groups undefeated.
Royals group results were 2-1 vs Crownfield, 3-2 vs Hacton, 2-1 vs James Oglethorpe, 2-1 vs Rise Park, & 4-3 vs St Joseph's.
Navy group results were 3-1 vs Harold Wood, 2-0 vs Benhurst, & 3-0 vs Elm Park.
After a long lunch break Clockhouse Royals advanced to meet Nelmes in the semi-final. A good game ended with Nelmes beating Clockhouse for pace and winning 3-1. But let's not take anything away from the Clockhouse performance, battling hard until the last whistle making some great tags and being unfortunate not to score more. Nelmes went onto to win the competition.
After the lunch break the Clockhouse Navy side met Engayne in the quarter-final of their competition. Again a fantastic game with many break away solo scores, but sadly the result went Engaynes way loosing a great contest 5-3.
After the competition Mr Yarrow said 'Considering this was the teams first games together this is a great result for the school and really shows the hard work the kids have been putting in with coaches Sarah and Mike. Thank you to them both for giving up their time voluntarily to help tag rugby at Clockhouse.
The morning was a huge success and I saw some individual moments of brilliance, too many to individually name. I think the long lunch break stopped our momentum that was building nicely but that cannot be helped and credit should go to winners Nelmes and Engayne. I look forward to our next tag rugby outing! Thank you to our partner club May and Baker for hosting the event so well.'
Coach Sarah said 'For the Royals to go the whole group stage undefeated only loosing to eventual winners Nelmes in the semi-final is a good result. I hope the children are proud of what they have achieved! All children got plenty of time to play together on the field. Well done everyone!'
Mr Koten added 'Team Navy were wonderful! They played every game with heart, passion, & belief! Well done to all the children that played. I hope next year we can keep up this good work and go even further in the competition!'
