After missing over a year of competitive sport and exercise Clockhouse Primary School had our first opportunity to go out and enjoy inter-school competition when children from Year 2 travelled to Noak Hill Sports Complex for a football tournament!
There was excitement and energy all around from children, parents and staff.
If the enjoyment of being out playing sport again was not enough, the children were fantastic throughout the day, winning every game they played without conceeding a single goal.
First opponents were Harrow Lodge and a quick start from George F resulted in Clockhouse being in the lead inside 30 seconds of play. Caleb R doubled the lead scoring directly from a corner. Clocks went on to score twice more winning 4-0.
Next up was St Patricks. A tough game and another clean sheet thanks to the defensive efforts of Frankie S and Harry T. Olly L was a very happy goalkeeper! Clocks won 2-0.
Our third opponent was Gidea Park College. A performance similar to the game before with Elliot R's hard work being rewarded with goals and a change in goal as Harry N also kept a cleansheet. Clockhouse winning 2-0.
Our penultimate game was against a good Benhurst side. But the link up play between George F and Caleb R to set up Elliot R was clearly working as he got on the scoresheet again. Frankie S adding the final goal from the penalty spot with a well placed finish! Clockhouse continued the winning running 3-0.
In the final game Clockhouse met Elm Park. A lovely passing move was finished by Jack B who was in a great position following a cross. Clockhouse 1 vs 0 Elm Park.
Mr Yarrow commented on the day saying 'I feel a little overwhelmed! These children have missed so much sport due to Covid, so to come out and win every game at the festival without conceding a single goal just goes to highlight how hard these children have worked. I speak for the whole school when I say we are very proud of them!!!!
I would like to thank Mrs Booth for her support, the parents for their support especially with transport, and to Havering Sports Collective who did all they could to make the event safe so children from across the Borough could come and enjoy sport again. The cheers and smiles on all the children's faces at the end makes it all worthwhile!
The Clockhouse team were phenomenal throughout the day! It is exciting to think that the future sporting success of the school is in safe hands! What a start!!! Well done everyone!'
