| Presentation Night 2002-03 |
This year's presentation night took place at White's, Paxton Road, Tottenham on Saturday 14th June 2003. The evening began with Chairman Glenn Weaver making a speech about the last year at the club. The progress the club had made on and off the pitch was detailed, including the success of the Under-15s in winning the Herts. Girls Football League Cup and the sponsorship deal gained off the field to support training of coaches and securing facilities for training to take place. Club Manager Pete Skinner echoed the strides the club had made including bringing all the teams together to train in one place and also to get the parent club to provide kits for all the Ladies teams. Both thanked the clubs sponsors - Damage Control plc and the Spurs players - as well as the assistance that Tottenham Hotspur FC had provided throughout the season, culminating in the match against Chelsea on the pitch at White Hart Lane at the end of the season. Their was also praise for all the coaches, managers, staff and parents, who had given of their time to help make the club what it had become. The important part of the evening was the awards given to recognise those who had represented the club this season. |

contribution to the success of the club, be it on or off the field.

their place in the first XI.

The contribution of all involved with the club makes it that much stronger and helps make things run smoothly. Special thanks must go to June Clarke, Kay Lovelock, Pete Skinner and Glenn Weaver for putting in so much time and effort to make the event such a success, especially with having to find a new venue at a week's notice. We trust that everybody had a great time and that the next one will be every bit as good as this year's. |
