Presentation Night 2004

First up among the teams was the Under-10 side, who became the youngest side the club had fielded and had started their careers in the Ladies game with a fine season, ending runners-up in league and cup, which they can rightly be proud of. Manager Jayne Foster recounted the way the girls had set about playing the game and she was delighted to have been in charge of them in their first year together.

The players who had formed the core of the Under-10 side this season were : -
Nicole Bailey
Georgia Bruce
Nikki Hunnable
Renata Inniss
Olivia Keown
Hannah Lyons

AYSE MUSTAFA

The Most Improved Player of the Year award went to
NIKKI HUNNABLE

For the Under-11s side, it had been a successful season and one that they will have to go go some way to better in their time in football. Having reached the London Youth FA Cup final, only to lose on penalties to Long Lane, they set about ensuring that the silverware their play deserved came their way. The league had been sewn up long before the end of their unbeaten season and the 4-1 win over QPR in the Herts. Girls League Cup Final sealed the Double for Kevin Fenn's side.

Paige Barnard

The Youth Team picked up where they left off last season as Under-15s when they won the Herts' Girls Football League Cup Final.

Moving up to a senior league against older and more experienced sides was to be a test for them, but one that they passed with flying colours, taking the league title at their first attempt. Manager Dave Green meshed the players from last season with some new arrivals in the close season to form a potent scoring outfit, who looked solid in midfield and defence too.

The regular members of their side this season who gained appearance awards were : -
Mel Berry
Caroline Brown
Faye Callaway
Sarah Campbell
Sam Chase
Gemma Coots
Sarah Green
Claire Griffiths

Sam Chase
Dom Clarke
Louise Cooper
Jenny Curtis
Handan Djoshkoun
Diane Gardiner
Tina Hills
Kesha Heaven
Jenny Homer
Steph Jones
Kim McGhee
Lee Miller
Lucy Palmer

Ruth Waghorn
Rosi Webb

The winner of the Player's Player award for the Reserves in season 2003-04 was

It was a successful season for Pete Skinner's First Team, but one that ended in disappointment on two fronts.

With their biggest points and goals scored totals for three years, the team still finished third in the League and were unlucky to lose out to Dagenham & Redbridge in the League Cup Final.

However, with the movement of players through the ranks to the first team, blended with the players brought in this season with great ability and top level experience, the team can make another assault on the title next season.

One player that the team will miss greatly is Jackie Fearon, who is retiring from playing and has been a marvellous servant of the club over 10 years.

The players who most often represented the senior side this season were : -
Lucy Auguste
Gill Blackmore
Louise Cooper
Kerry Daniells
Sam Farnum
Jackie Fearon
Leah Flintham
Zoella Freeman
Kelly Herrett
Jenny Homer
Latoyah Johnson
Andrea McGrady
Alice Oake
Kenne Ogunneye
Chrissy Oshodi
Lorraine Sparrow
Samrawit Bereket

Voted by her team-mates as Player's Player of the Year for the First Team was
LEAH FLINTHAM

A special presentation took place when Gary Mabbutt handed KAY LOVELOCK an inscribed salver to commemorate and thank her for her 10 years of service in the devoted role as Club Secretary.

The Sue Sharples Memorial award is one that means a lot to the club, being made in honour of Sue Sharples, the co-founder of the club, who died while training. The award is given to the person or persons who have made the greatest contribution to the success of the club, be it on or off the field and is not awarded every year - only when the club feel it is merited.

For the 2003-2004 season, it had gone to THOMSON HOLIDAYS for their shirt sponsorship of Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC and providing match kit for all the teams at the club, a contribution to the club worth a great deal in financial terms, which the club would not be able to afford in other circumstances. Glenn Weaver welcomed sponsorship manager for Thomson Holidays Chris Marking to the stage to accept the award on behalf of his company from Keith Burkinshaw.

Chris was also presented with a montage of photographs showing players of the club wearing the strip in action during the 2003-04 season as a token of appreciation from the club.

The Manager's Award goes to the player in each team, who has deserved the title for the way they have conducted themselves throughout the season - both in matches, in training and away from the game.

This season the trophies went to : -

Under-10 winner - NICOLE BAILEY

Under-11 winner - LINDSEY COCKLE

Under-12 winner - ROBYN DOWNIE

Under-14 winner - ROCHELLE ALEXANDRA
