Tottenham Reserves took the field for their first league game of the season against West Ham with only nine players due to first team calls, injuries, holidays and work commitments. The nine that took the
field battled every inch of the way and when one of the opposition
players was knocked out with only 13 minutes to go, they were level at 1-1
thanks to a wonderful goal from Samantha Farnum. The injury resulted in
a lengthy break in play waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The girls then conceded directly from the re-start after a corner had been given and with their concentration broken went on to concede a further two goals making the scoreline an undeserved 4-1 to West Ham. Club General Manager
John Merigan who was in charge of the reserves praised the nine Spurs
players saying "they ran through a brick wall for me and I could
not ask for more. They were a credit to themselves and the Club." Team: Bloomfield, K Jones, Tsou, McEachern, McGhee, Farnum, Southgate, Daniells, Heaven |

Sue Sharples Memorial Trophy.

several fine saves to avoid an even bigger defeat. TEAM: Bloomfield,

Spurs reserves took on a strong Enfield Reserve side at Frederick Knight's playing the first half an hour with only 9 players. Feraina Salmon made the number up to 10 when she arrived to help out having already played for the Under 15's in the morning. They managed to hold the score to 2-0 at half-time, but then tiredness set in and they eventually lost 7-0., A thank you to all the players for turning out and performing so well, but a special mention again to young goalkeeper Claire Bloomfield ,who is improving with each game and Captain for the day Kerry Daniells.
TEAM : - Bloomfield, Southgate, McEachern,
Daniells, Black, McGhee, Gardiner, Heaven, Johnson and Salmon.

With five players making their senior debuts, four of them from the under 15's squad, Spurs reserves started quite brightly against high flying Chelsea. After 20 minutes they were 2-1 up with goals from Mo Cordes and Meroulla Lazarou. Chelsea soon recovered and went into the break 6-2 up. It was a spirited performance from the reserves that saw Chelsea only add two more goals to their tally. Special mentions for Anna
Southgate and Diane Gardiner, and especially Stephanie Cooper and Keisha
Heaven who shared the goalkeeping duties in the absence of regular keeper
Claire Bloomfield. TEAM : -
Cooper, Cox, Tsou, Jackson, Auguste, Dow, Lazarou, McGhee, Cordes,

The reserves, helped by a couple of first team players, held a strong Enfield side until the last 20 mins when keeper Claire Bloomfield fouled an Enfield forward on the edge of the box as she managed to get her shot in. The referee deemed that Claire was the last player and dismissed her despite Chuen-Yan Tsou clearing the shot off the line for a corner. Diane Gardiner went in goal and could do nothing about the penalty. Enfield followed this with another couple of goals, one taking a deflection off Kelly Herrett and the other a fine free-kick. Diane Gardiner acquitted herself well in her role as emergency keeper.

Although they were up against it almost from
the kick-off, thanks to some good keeping and defending and some bad
misses from Southend, Spurs went in at half-time 1-0 up with a goal from
Hannilee Fish.
In the second half the Southend forwards found their shooting boots and scored six times without reply.

Addeyans started strongly and Spurs were indebted to a couple of good saves by keeper Bloomfield. After weathering the storm of the first 10 minutes or so, Tottenham took control of the game and chances went begging. Eventually Keisha Heaven put Spurs into a deserved lead when a shot from some 12 yards eluded the Addeyans keeper going through her legs and into the back of the net. It was still 1-0 at half-time. In the second half, more pressure from Spurs eventually saw their lead extended when Diane Gardiner shot through a crowd of players from the edge of the box under the despairing dive of the visitor's keeper. Addeyans pulled a goal back with about 15 minutes to go and this seemed to inspire them. The visitors put pressure on the Spurs defence, but they held held firm. It was a battling performance with everyone playing their part in an important victory.

The reserves were defeated 4-0, which, considering they were left with a bare 11 due to illness on the morning of the match plus not having a goalkeeper due to Claire Bloomfield being harshly suspended for one game, was not too bad a result.
Thanks must go to Hannilee Fish for
volunteering to go in goal and skipper Chuen-Yan Tsou for organising
everything.
The team was: Hannilee Fish, Chuen-Yan
Tsou, Kim McGhee, Lee Miller, Keisha Heaven, Sarah McEachern, Christina
Black, Steph Jones, Sara Di Bonito, Mel Dow, Lucy Palmer.

On a windswept afternoon, the Reserves faced Hampton with the rain lashing down. Starting the match playing into the wind, Spurs were soon behind to a controversial goal, when a long shot hit the underside of the bar and bounced down to be grabbed by Claire Bloomfield. The referee pointed to the centre spot and Hampton were one up. There was some resolute Tottenham defending with the mud and wind making it difficult to clear their lines, but two long range efforts put the visitors three up at the break. Despite a spirited performance the visitors ran in a further two goals in the second half. The team was: Claire Bloomfield, Mel Dow (Chuen-Yan Tsou), Jenny Curtis, Sandra Brown, Steph Jones, Kim McGhee, Lucy Palmer, Anna Southgate, Sarah McEachern, Sara Di Bonito, Keisha Heaven. |

Spurs reserves put in an excellent performance at Colney Heath to run out winners by 4-0.
Gill Blackmore led the way with two goals, the
first a solo effort running from almost halfway before slotting the ball
past the advancing keeper and the second pouncing on a loose ball in the
area. Kerry Daniells added a fine third with a curling shot over
the keeper from about 15 yards. Daniells then turned provider
when Keisha Heaven powerfully headed home her cross.

The reserves travelled to Blackheath to
take on Addeyans Reserves in their last game of the season.
They ran out winners by 3-1 in a game played in extremely windy conditions that spoilt the chance of much good football being played. Addeyans took a first half lead playing with the wind behind them, but Gill Blackmore scored the first of another brace when a low, long range shot found the keeper wrong footed. The half time score was poised at 1-1 and Spurs used the advantage of the wind in the second half to run out winners with thanks to a Gill Blackmore penalty, which was awarded for handball and a fine effort from the edge of the area by Samantha Farnum.
