This week Clockhouse made the long trip to the other side of the borough to take on sporting rivals Parsonage Farm in the League Cup 1/4 final.
A cagey start as both teams tried to test the other. Clockhouse edging the early exchanges. The opening goal for Clockhouse came from a well worked goal kick, Kayleigh S finding Lily S-E out wide who played a lovely through ball to Ruby N who burried the ball in the back of the net.
After the goal Parsonage Farm tried to come back at Clockhouse trying to play the long ball game but credit to the tenacious Clocks defence Kayleigh S and Andreja R stopping the ball reaching the Parsonage Farm striker. Clockhouse took a one nil lead into half time.
Leah L was introduced at half time and added to the defensive effort pressing high up the field to put pressure on the Parsonage midfield. Clockhouse knew the game was still anyones and as the game progressed Mia C grew more and more influential managing to double Clockhouse's lead with a pinpoint header following a long throw.
As Parsonage Farm pushed on to get back into the game Clockhouse again stayed strong at the back and put the cup contest past their opponents with Mia C grabbing her second goal on the counter attack.
After the final whistle Mr Yarrow ssid 'Parsonage Farm are a great sporting school with brilliant facilities, it is always a healthy sporting contest whenever we meet in any competition. Today they never gave up!
The girls were solid today, defensively they stayed composed and dealt with everything thrown at them. I really liked the link up play in attack! The girls have made the semi-final and I'm personally excited to see how much further we can go in the league cup.
Credit must go to Mr McGlinchey, these girls are still in the quarter-final of the Borough Cup and now the semi-final of the league cup. Lots more football for these wonderful athletes.
Thanks as always to parents for helping with transport.'
