This afternoon children from Year 3 and 4 took part in a Rapid Cricket Festival at Rainham Cricket Club.
Some of the children taking part had very little cricket experience but after overcoming some early nerves the children selected grew in confidence and worked hard as a team.
In the first game Clockhouse played La Salette both teams spent a bit of time trying different ideas and getting to grips with the cricket variation. Clockhouse losing narrowly 62 - 71.
Next up Clockhouse met Parsonage Farm. Again a very evenly matched encounter with Clockhouse picking up the victory 87 - 81.
Clockhouse were now due to meet undefeated Rise Park. A great cricket contest with both teams playing some great shots and Harry H plucking a lovely catch out of the air. The game was again very evenly contested, Rise Park just edging the game 69-80.
Last up Clockhouse were due to play St Joseph's but sadly they were unable to fulfill the fixture.
Mr Yarrow commented on the day saying 'Taking children out like today's eight was a pleasure! Development and future planning was definitely at the forefront of the plan. Having said that the children had fun and grew in confidence as the festival went on.
Most school had a 6-2 split with 6 boys, we went the other way and had 6 girls to help promote girls extra curricular participation and this paid off today with many of the girls asking to join cricket club.
The afternoon was enjoyable for all involved, the children could not of been better role models to the school with teachers from other schools commenting on the pupils ability to work as a team. Well done to you all, as always I'm very proud!
Thank you to all relatives for transporting and supporting the team. Your support is so so valuable!'
SQUAD: Jamie S (c), Lacey S, Ruby Y, Harry H, Isla H, Emily P, Lucia B, and Isabelle H.
