Fun in the sun for boys at Havering cricket tournament!

In glorious weather Clockhouse took their boys cricket team to the Havering tournament. 

A fairly inexperienced team started strongly against a good Scotts team. Clockhouse scoring 255 for 2 wickets while Scotts managed a respectable 239 for 3.

Next up the boys met St Joseph's. A fairly event contest changed in one over as Clockhouse lost a couple of crucial wickets. Clocks scoring 246 for 2 whilst St Joseph's picked up the win with 258 for 3.

Clockhouse now faced Nelmes and were outplayed scoring just 205 for 3 whilst Nelmes managed 245 for 5.

Next up for Clocks was a nail biting encounter aginst Brady with both teams showing moments of brilliance in the field, with the game going down to the final ball. Clockhouse losing narrowly with a score of 256 for 4 while Brady managed 259 for 3.

Clockhouse then met Dame Tipping after lunch. Another impressive display in the field allowed Clockhouse to get back to winning ways, scoring 249 for 5 whilst Dame Tiping could only manage 235 for 6. Lots of catches from the fielders being the difference between the schools.

Lastly a fatigued Clockhouse met St Peters going down with a score of 221 for 8 whilst St Peters managed 239 for 4.

After the tournament Mr Yarrow said the following 'Due to the short term we did not have much of a chance to prepare for this tournament but you would not of known considering how quickly the boys picked up a good understanding. I was particularly impressed with the organisation when fielding, Jake L seemed to be everywhere.

We had an open trial to select our side, there was some good cricketers that came to trials but we tried to pick the best all rounders which was not an easy process as we left some good players behind. That being said this is a very young team and I look forward to seeing how they will do next year now half of the squad have experience. The year six children selected added a lot of composure and tactical awareness. I am inpressed with everyone involved I hope they enjoyed the day.

Thank you to all parents for supporting and transporting. We really are lucky to have you!'

SQUAD: Morgan N (c), Hayden M, Zach C-S, Jake L, James P, Teddy F, Charlie B, Ben C and Jamie S

PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT: Jake L

Clockhouse split into six teams to compete against other teams from a number of other primary school across Havering. Each Clockhouse team was appointed a team leader, The Clockhouse timings for the event were as follows:

Team Tia - 10mins 22secs

Team Miley - 11mins 28secs

Team Kamran - 13mins 27secs

Team Teddy - 14mins 6secs

Team George - 16mins 28secs

Team Honey - 17mins 19secs

Mr Yarrow commented on the schools efforts saying 'The children represented the school as fantastic ambassadors. Orienteering and outdoor adventurous activites is something as a school we will be looking to do more of over the next academic year, today these children had an opportunity to get a head start and I look forward to seeing how much they develop in a year. Well done to all involved I hope they all enjoyed themselves. Thank you to all the parents who helped with transportation, and to Miss Martin for her help and support on the day!'

AMAZING Achievement for a Clockhouse Gymnast

We are absolutely delighted to let you know that one of our Year 5 children, Grace Barker, competed this weekend at the Acrobatic Gymnastics National Finals. This is a HUGE achievement as, in order to get to the finals, the competitors have to win their regional preliminary competition first of all. At the nationals they compete against the best from across all of the regions within the UK.

Grace and her partner performed a near perfect routine in the grade one women pairs category and  finished in an amazing 8th place, meaning they are the 8th highest scoring Grade 1 women pair across the whole of the nation. 

We are so proud of her, her hard work and her dedication to the sport.

Well done Grace!
