Last week Clockhouse were back in football action as the boys football team went to the next stage of the Havering Football League. Clockhouse qualified for this stage following an impressive first outing in their initial league.
Clockhouse kicked off with a late cruel deflected goal defeat to local rivals Parklands.
A 1-0 loss did not stop the boys trying to express themselves in the next game against RJ Mitchell. Finn N scored an early solo goal and in cruel circumstances a late RJ Mitchell goal meant the spoils were shared 1-1.
A little frustration was starting to build as Clocks desperately seaked their first win. Despite some good football Clockhouse's next game against Gidea Park ended goalless. Alex C narrowly missing out on giving Clockhouse the win.
A tenacious Clockhouse team stuck together and in the next game against James Oglethorpe found the next twice. Chima I opened the scoring before a late Oakley M goal sealed a 2-0 victory.
This victory seemed to inspire the boys to push on. Issac T scoring the goal to earn Clocks their 2nd victory against Drapers. 1-0.
The final game saw an end to end contest against Crowlands, but this was one to praise both goalkeeper's. Both keeper's managed a number of saves and two schools who played attacking football finished goalless 0-0.
After the final league game Mr Yarrow said 'The boys played with real Clockhouse spirit today! A frustrating start didn't dampen their spirits. We played some great football in spells. Credit to Lewis who only conceded 2 goals throughout the day.
We are still waiting for the final league standings to see if we qualify to go further in the Havering Football League. It will be close.
Thanks to all the parents / carers who supported with transportation and to Mr Martin for his coaching expertise.'
SQUAD: Lewis C (c), Alex C, George G, Chima I, Finn N, Oakley M, Issac T, Patrick S, Harry M and Teddie M.
PLAYER OF THE DAY: Harry M
