Girls have fun at Havering football Tournament

Today the Clockhouse girls football team took part in the Havering football tournament at Noak Hill Sports Complex.

The girls were part of a 7 team group with some strong sides to compete against.

In the first game Clockhouse looked to settle into the short game format and left it late to beat Crowlands. Mia C scoring with practically the last kick of the game. (W 1-0).

Next up Clockhouse met Brady. Clocks worked hard and were rewarded with a goal from Kayleigh S.  Depite Clockhouse pressure a brief distraction caught out the Clockhouse defence and Brady got the equaliser (D 1-1).

Clockhouse faced Mead next. Clockhouse dominated territory and possession but only managed to get the ball in the net once through captain Kayleigh S. (W 1-0).

In the fourth game Clocks faced a really strong Branfil side. Despite fantastic efforts from Rida S amongst others two late goals gave Branfil victory. (L 0-2).

Ardleigh Green were Clocks opposition in the penultimate game. Another strong side with both teams having opportunities. Mia C was on the scoreboard for Clocks but sadly some smart passing from Ardleigh Green resulted in a loss. (L 1-3).

Clockhouse finished with a bang showing the potential within the side. Two goals from Mia C one of which straight from a corner that she was particularly proud of were only overshadowed by the two penalty saves from Amelia B who grows in confidence as a goalkeeper every time she plays. (W 2-0).

After the tournamnet Mr Yarrow said 'Everytime I looked at one of our players today they were smiling and enjoying themselves what more can you ask?

The girls played some lovely football in parts. When we are switched on and awake we look capable of beating anybody. As always they have represented the school impeccably!

Thank you to Mr McGlinchey who as always was amazing with the team! And to all the parents that transported and supported the girls.'
