Clocks Tremendous Tagging!

This week Clockhouse took two sides to the Havering Tag Rugby Festival (blue tags and yellow tags).

Both teams were packed with talented sporting children who could show a good blend of footwork, running, passing, and tagging.

The Clockhouse Yellow Tags had a good opportunity to gain experience with most children representing the school for the first time. The Yellow Tags results were as follows:

Harold Wood: won 2-1

Towers Juniors: lost 1-2

Nelmes: lost 2-3

Rise Park: won 2-1

Benhurst: lost 0-3

Harold Court: won 1-0

Parklands: drew 2-2

Crowlands: lost 1-3

Rise Park: won 2-1

The team grew in confidence as the festival went on!

Try scorers:

Finn N x 11

George G x 2

The Clockhouse Blue Tags looked ruthless with the ball throughout the competition. In addition when defending the team spread out across the pitch and pressed up to make it difficult for oppositions to attack. These skills resulted in an undefeated day for the team. The Blue Tags results were as follows:

Harold Wood: won 3-2

Parklands: won 3-2

Scotts: won 4-3

Towers Juniors: won 3-2

Engayne: drew 3-3

Gidea Park: won 4-1

Harold Court: won 2-1

St Patricks: won 2-1

The team played with composure and a great understanding of the rules throughout the competition.

Mr Koten spoke about the Yellow Tag team saying "Today it made me really happy to oversee this team. All day they encouraged one another and at times played some fantastic rugby. It was fantastic to see how all the players grew in confidence as the festival went on. The smiles on the children's faces makes days like today very special."

Mr Yarrow spoke about the Blue Tag team saying "It was great to see how much the children enjoyed today. I wish there were more opportunities for the younger children in the sporting calendar!

The fact the team managed to remain undefeated was the icing on the cake. I couldn't be prouder.

Today both teams were fantastic; both whilst playing and generally how they conducted themselves throughout the event. It is a good day to be associated with these teams. Thanks as always to our very supportive parents. Also thank you to our school/club link May and Baker Rugby Club for hosting the event. If anyone would like more information regarding taking your child to try rugby outside of school please feel free to ask. 

I'd like to finish by once again praising the young children who were amazing today. There is clearly a bright sporting future at Clockhouse!"
