Last week Clockhouse took a team to the Boys Cricket Tournament at Rainham Cricket Club. The tournament was played using the Dynamo format which suited the well organised Clockhouse team who were strong with the bat throughout the day.
First game saw Clocks play Scargill. A strong and confident performance in the field limited Scargill to 80 for 4. Clockhouse then scored well with the bat reaching 149-1 and taking the victory. Alex C and Lewis C raising a half centuray of runs between them.
Next Clockhouse faced eventual winners Nelmes. The Nelmes fielding was of a high standard and it frustrated the Clockhouse batters who scored 73 runs. The Clockhouse team looked a little sloppy in the field and ultimately this proved the difference as Nelmes hit a game winning 98. A rare maiden over bowled by Issac T was a highlight!
Lastly Clocks faced a Gidea Park side with a young potential England bowler in their squad. Despite this Clocks reached 103 without loss. In response Clockhouse held strong in the field with a coupke of good catches. Gidea Park scoring 81-3.
Mr Yarrow said 'this was a great performance from a side that hadn't played together before. They were the highest scoring side at the competition and had moments of great teamwork when fielding. It would be great to get some cricket fixtures before the end of the year. Well done team! Thank you to the parents that not only transported the children but stayed in the sunshine and supported the team. Next week the girls are in action I wish them the best of luck!'
SQUAD: Alex C, Lewis C, Tristan O, Issac T, Ariz A, Ayaan J, Hamza S and Finn N
PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT: Issac T
