Last week Clockhouse entered 2 teams into the Havering Boccia Festival. Traditionally the school have a great time at this event with children showing a real passion for representing the school.
The 1st team was Team Mainstream who had a very successful competition racking up these results:
Win 4-2 vs Drapers Brookeside B
Loss 2-0 vs Harrow Lodge A
Win 2-1 vs Hylands A
Win 2-1 vs Scotts
Win 3-2 vs St Peters B
As a result of the teams brilliant performance they finished 2nd in their pool missing out on progressing to the finals on points scored.
Our 2nd team was Team Greenland who recorded the following results:
Win 3-2 vs Harrow Lodge B
Win 3-2 vs Elm Park
Win 2-0 vs Newtons A
Loss 3-2 vs St Edwards
Won 4-0 vs Towers
As a result Team Greenland went into the finals where they showed great composure and some very good tactical awareness to win the Havering Boccia Festival! The final round of results were as follows:
Win 2-0 vs Harrow Lodge A
Win 5-2 vs Upminster Juniors
Mr Yarrow reflected on the competition saying 'I love this competition, it is played in the right spirit and the ethos of fun competitive sport is great to see.
The standard of all schools was really high. When I watched the final game with Harrow Lodge A the lead changed hands on numerous occasions and the fact the team stayed so calm and methodical is a real credit to how far they have come!
All six of the children were a real credit to the school! I could not be prouder of their positive attitudes!
Today was not all about winning but it is a massive achievement that both teams only lost two games between them the whole day.
As a result of the victory the Team Greenland get to go on to the London Youth Games on 25th February and represent Havering against the other London Boroughs. I am very excited to see how far the team can go.
Thank you to all the parents who supported the team, having you there made a real difference and I hope you were as proud of the children as both I and the school are! Thank you also to Mrs Savidge for helping with transport and for celebrating with the team in assembly. Final thank you to Miss Munroe who supported the team throughout the day.
As a reward for the success we will be having a chip shop lunch with the team to celebrate!
I'd just like to finish by once again saying how proud I am of the children for stepping out of their comfort zones. Not enough attention is put on PAN and PARA sport and the effects it can have on wellbeing. Team Greenland are all year six children so this was their final attempt to represent Clockhouse at this event and it goes to show heart, passion and teamwork go along way!
Well done to the six children that are now Havering Boccia Champions!!!'
