The Clockhouse Tag Rugby League winning side went to finals day. In wet boggy conditions the team stayed focus and tried hard to play rugby with some flair and structure.
In the first round Clockhouse played Harold Court. A game that really battled the conditions was won when captain Alex C made a clean break to score the only try of the game. Clocks winning 1-0.
Next Clockhouse played Langtons. Again Alex C opened the scoring. Langtons hit back straight from the kick off, but the game was won by a great solo try from Patrick S.
Clockhouse's final league game was against Newtons. Clockhouse were unlucky not to take the lead when Finn N's try was disallowed for diving and Lewis C was unlucky knocking on on the Newtons try line. With less than a minute left Newtons stole victory breaking out wide to score the winning try.
As a result of the group games Clockhouse met old rivals Parsonage Farm in the 3rd place playoff. An end to end game started with Patrick S running around the Parsonage Farm defence to score the opening try. Parsonage Farm slowly built the phases and a missed tag was capitalised on to tie the scoring. Patrick S got his hands on the ball in the wide channel and once more he scored for Clockhouse. But Parsonage Farm were not finished as a long looping run around the Clockhouse defence resulted in Parsonage Farm levelling the scores once again. Finn N nearly won the game for Clockhouse but again his try was disallowed. At the full time whistle honours were even with a 2-2 draw.
Mr Yarrow reflected on the tournament saying 'It was hard conditions to play our style of rugby. That being said the children showed a real dedication and passion for the game. There was some fantastc tagging on show!
Thanks to Mrs Baker who accompanied me on the trip and to the parents who transported the children.'
