Yesterday the school boccia team who won the Havering Festival in January represented Havering at the London Youth Games competition.
The Havering Hurricanes were drawn in a group with Enfield, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, Newham, and Bromley. The Clockhouse team got through the group stage undefeated.
As a result of winning their group Havering faced Walthamstow in the final game. A win would ensure Clockhouse were Champions of London and could progress to the Greater London Tournament. A tough game ssaw Clockhouse lose the first end before winning the final two ends to secure a 3-2 victory.
Mr Yarrow spoke about the achievement by saying 'This is one of my proudest moments since joining the school. The three boys from our provision in Greenland stepped out of their comfort zones once again and managed to beat everyone they played. From what I saw, and was told the boys represented the school impeccably whilst having fun and making some life long memories.
As a school we have been blessed to represent Havering Hurricanes on numerous occasions but I can not recall ever winning a London Youth Games Competition. This is a huge achievement!
Thank you to Miss Munroe and Mrs Redgrave who accompanied the team to the tournament. A further thanks to all the parents that helped support the team today I hope you are as proud of the children as I am!
I don't know what impresses me more the fact the Havering Hurricanes remained undefeated, the team work on show throughout the competition, or the resilience the squad showed to come from behind in the final to take victory.
As a result of becoming champions of London the team get to now take part in the Greater London Competiton in March. I wish the boys all the success once again!'
Result - LONDON YOUTH GAMES CHAMPIONS
Squad - Teddy O (c), Elliot R and Tyler C
