Girls kick on to keep the 2020 sporting success rolling!

In preparation for Thursday's Havering Borough Girls Football Competition Clockhouse and Oasis Pinewoods met for a friendly.

The contest started very evenly with both sides trying things with the ball. Clockhouse broke the deadlock when Mia C threaded the ball through to captain Kayleigh S who placed the ball past the hard working Pinewoods keeper. A second goal followed shortly after when Kayleigh S turned provider for Mia C with a long throw that caused problems all day.

As the first half continued Oasis Pinewoods pushed on to try and get on the scoresheet. Rida S and Gracie R provided a timely interception with Amelia B also playing a big part between the sticks.

Pinewoods were rewarded for their pressure when they converted a penalty.

Captain Kayleigh S had some determination about her and managed to complete her hatrick using a mix of power and pace to give Clocks a half time lead 4-1.

Both teams rotated players and the contest remained competitive Pinewoods had a never give up attitude and again were unlucky not to score more.

Clockhouse pushed on in the second half Grace B, Miley B, Lilian S and another for Kayleigh S adding to the scoreboard. With the game finishing 8-1.

After the game Mr Yarrow said 'Despite the scoreline it was great to see two schools enjoying sport and playing until the final whistle. This was great preparation for both schools with Thursday in mind!

Credit to Mr Sheldrick who has raised the profile of sport so much at Oasis Pinewoods! 

Tonight Clockhouse took their opportunities, the long throw was a big weapon in our attack and the team worked hard off the ball with some timely tackles and clearances! Once again the children have done the school proud!!!

Thank you to Mr Koten for supporting the team tonight along with all the parents who transported and supported from the sideline.

I am excited to see how far this group can go in the Havering Tournament on Thursday.'
