Some more good plays were made but it was not long until the half time whistle was blown. The final score was 3-0 to QPR.  

Although this game was a loss to the Blues they should all be proud of the way they played the game and for not giving up until the final whistle. 

Player of the match went to Amy Nash for her brilliant skills on pitch. Amy is proving herself in defence making it difficult for the opposition to pass her and has an impeccable talent for taking long throw ins and wide passes on her chest and head with good control.

This clearly was a painful landing, but the determination in our captain was intense and she was going to finish the game. The game continued with much difficulty. The Blues were outnumbered and had to battle to keep the ball safely away from the goal area. The girls were triumphant when the full time whistle blew. The score was 2-0 to Tottenham.

Women of the match went to:

Tila Lawton. Tila’s usual position is not that of the goalkeeper, but her team needed her so she stepped up to the challenge and was nothing but successful in doing so.

Kelsey Smith. Kelsey constantly battled for the ball, making amazing tackles and had brilliant runs up the pitch, always there to try and help her fellow team mates.

Tegan Burling. Tegan held out strong on the wing always made herself available and never stopped running for the ball. Although outnumbered Tegan always managed to get around the other players.

Gemma Biggadike. Gemma spent the vast majority of the game running the ball around the opposition, chasing passes and defending the goal area.  Gemma supported her team throughout.

Amy Nash.  Amy showed amazing defence skills and intercepted many of Denham’s passes by chesting and heading the ball, giving it back to her team.

The Blues started this game knowing that there was nothing but a challenge ahead. They kept their heads and spirits high and showed everyone just what can be achieved when you give it your all. Well done girls.

On a final note we would like to thank the Denham players, who showed nothing but brilliant sportsmanship and were extremely welcoming hosts to us, the visiting team.

QPR gained a free kick and from this took a shot at goal to which Tegan made a heart stopping save. The blues then misfortunately hand-balled the ball giving QPR a penalty shot. Tegan tried to save the shot with massive effort but the QPR penalty taker was on target and scored. 1-0 to QPR.

A goal kick was taken by Hannah, who got the ball through to Kelsey, who passed to Amy on the wing.  Amy took the ball and made a great pass to Tila, but unfortunately QPR intervened and took the ball back down pitch.  They took a shot, but Tegan would not let it in her goal.  At this point a substitution was made as Kelsey came off and Kunbi Soleye came on.

Gemma took a corner and found Amy, who went for the goal, but the keeper saved. The ball went towards the Spurs goal area and QPR got a corner kick.  Their aim was good but Kunbi was there to clear the ball. QPR came back with extra pressure, but Tegan was still solid in goal to save any shots.

Half time 1-0 QPR

The Blues gained a corner kick which Gemma took knocking the ball to Leah, who took a shot, but the keeper saved. Hannah intercepted the keeper's pass and shot again, but the keeper again saved.

Once QPR had possession of the ball, the Blues showed us some great tackling. Gemma, Tegan and Leah all had goes at winning the ball back. Unfortunately, after one of these really good tackles, Leah’s ankle was badly injured. Leah was taken off to rest and Tila was brought on in her place.  QPR hand-balled the ball and gave the Blues a free kick.  Gemma took the kick, but QPR gained possession and took the ball up to the Spurs goal area.  Rangers were intent on scoring a goal even taking two shots at goal, but Kunbi and Hannah made it impossible for them pass and kept the score at 1-0. The final whistle blew.

Player of the match went to Hannah for her brilliant defending and always being available when her team mates needed her help clearing the ball to safety.

This may be a loss for the Blues, but they played a fantastic game and in no way made the QPR win easy.  They should all be very proud of their performance as this was a very hard side to play. Good game girls.

The Spurs Ladies Under-10 Blues game against Denham United started off with Alliyah Mcdonnell in goal and Tegan Burling in centre with Kelsey Smith.  Denham were immediately on the attack taking possession of the ball into the spurs box. Unlucky for them Amy Nash was on the case taking back the ball and passing to Hannah Grafton who kicked the ball safely away. Denham gave the Blues a free kick which was taken by Gemma Biggadike who shot for goal but Denham saved. 

The pressure was on with Denham on the Blues at every step. They earned a corner kick but Amy swiftly got the ball away to Ebony Eldridge who had an excellent run up pitch, passing to Kelsey who took a shot at goal but Denham saved.  Shortly after, Denham granted the blues a throw in taken by Gemma, but Denham took possession and had a shot at goal. Alliyah making a great save kept the score at 0-0. 

After the ball was kicked out of the goal area Tegan took the ball up the pitch making it to the Denham goal area, but was taken down.  The Blues were granted a penalty, which Gemma stepped up to take.  Unfortunately, her aim was slightly high and it went over the crossbar.  Denham’s goal kick was stolen away by Hannah, who kicked a high ball which got hand balled by the opposition. 

Free kick to the Blues.  Taking this was Gemma who was not going to miss a second shot.  Her kick moved the ball to the direction of the net and did not stop until it reached the back. The Blues official first goal and what a goal it was.  

Denham’s goal kick took the ball back down to the Spurs goal area, Amy picked it up passing to Hannah who had Tegan helping her along the wing.  The Blues got a throw in which Leah Grafton took.  Denham gained possession and took a shot at goal.  Alliyah saved and passed out to Leah who took the ball up pitch, her pass was intervened by Denham who played a high shot to a fellow team mate.  Unfortunately the shot went directly into Amy’s face.  A nasty injury, her coaches immediately called her off pitch to check her condition.  A minute later and half time was called.  1-0 to the Blues. 

The second half started with Amy showing her strength and determination by coming straight back onto the pitch.  A Tottenham win was in sight and she was not about to sit out.  Ebony took the place of goalkeeper.  From the blow of the whistle Gemma played a great pass across the goal to Tegan.  Wanting to know how scoring felt, Tegan took her shot.  What a fantastic second goal for the Blues thanks to our captain.  Nicely taken.  

The blues were unstoppable.  Every opportunity Denham got the ball, Kelsey made a tackle and passed back to her team mates.  Leah was on the end of one of these passes, taking a cracking shot at goal but it was unfortunately saved.  The Denham goalkeeper kicked the ball down pitch, but it was picked up by Tila Lawton.  Taking no prisoners, Tila took the ball all the way up pitch and had her own shot at goal, but the Denham keeper saved it well.  This did not deter the Blues.  Denham tried getting the ball back out of the goal area, but Tila would not let them pass and had another attempt at goal.  

Learning from this the Denham keeper kicked the ball down pitch toward the Spurs box, Denham took a shot at goal but Ebony made a great save.  Passing to Alliyah who kicked the ball towards Amy.  Seeing a clearing up the pitch Amy took a shot from the centre line.  Unfortunately Denham’s keeper stopped the ball. Denham tried to take the ball down to the goal area, but Alliyah was guarding the box not letting anyone past her.  Soon the final whistle blew. 

The score 2-0 to The Blues. 

Player of the match went to Gemma, who maintained a brilliant performance throughout the game, with fantastic corners, throw ins and of course the first Blues goal. 

This was a first win for the blues and let it be the first of many.  Every player should be proud of their individual performances and team work.  A fantastic game, a fantastic win.  Well done Blues.

The game started with the Under-10 Blues showing off their passing skills.  Gemma Biggadike had a shot, after a passing play from the back, which was saved by the Harvesters goal keeper. After winning the ball back Gemma skipped the ball past a couple of players and passed to Kelsey Smith, who took a shot at goal but again the Harvesters keeper saved.

Aimee showed great defending by managing to take the ball from one end of the pitch to the other with Tegan Burling helping her on the wing with some great attacking.  Gemma and Leah Grafton made themselves available to keep the ball in Tottenham possession.

The Harvesters managed to win the ball and take some shots but Ebony Eldridge was on the mark in goal, making some fantastic saves.

Half Time 0-0

The second half started with Hannah Grafton going on as goalkeeper. The Blues were forced to attack hard as the Harvesters were putting the pressure on.  It was not long before Harvesters scored a goal against the Blues. They then tried for second goal, but it was stopped with a great save by Hannah, who passed the ball out to Aimee and Kunbi Soleye. With their strong defence they got the ball out of the goal area over to Gemma who had a great run up the pitch, until she was fouled by the Harvesters. Taking the free kick Gemma took a blinding shot at the goal in true Beckham style but unfortunately the Harvesters saved.

Tegan and Alliyah McDonnell kept up the team memento by winning the ball back at every opportunity with some excellent tackling which resulted in some great plays by Kelsey and Gemma. The blues were unlucky not to score.

The harvesters continued to apply pressure on the Blues, but Tila Lawton kept them at bay with her defending and Tegan took possession of the ball and went on the full attack. The team battled out to the end maintaining around 70% possession of the ball.

The whistle blew calling full time and left a score of 1-0 to the Harvesters.

Man of the match went to the team captain Tegan Burling for her great attacking along the wing.

Even though the girls didn’t win they played an excellent game and showed massive potential for the rest of the season. They should all be very proud.

The Spurs Ladies Under-10 Blues put in another good performance against a battling Hampstead side. The blues had most of the possession and there were some very good passing amongst the girls, but unfortunatly we could not find the back of the net.  

Hampstead only had a few attacks but unfortunately they proved decisive as they ran out 2-0 winners. 

Player of the match Kelsey Smith had a very good game, she was constantly battling and taking on players down the right wing and even had a couple of chances to score. 

As I keep saying the team are improving every week and I'm sure once we get our first win, there will be no stopping us !!

It was a very warm and sunny September afternoon as the Spurs Ladies Under-10 Blues opened their league season against club-mates the Under-10 Whites at Fred Knights.  This was a special game for the girls not only were playing against the Under-10 Whites, it was their girls very first game for the club and also a debut for the management team ! 

The game started brightly for the Blues with some good passing. The Whites soon started applying pressure towards our goal, but lucky for us Ebony Eldridge made some quality saves to keep the game level at 0-0.  Again the Whites were on the attack and after a through ball, their striker ran through to make it 1-0.  A quick second goal followed, but that did not stop the determination of the Under-10 Blues. 

Hannah Grafton made some good tackles at the back. Captain Tegan Burling made a great run down the left skipping past a couple of players but unfortunately we didn't score.  A well worked corner between Leah Grafton and Tegan Burling resulted in a shot which was well saved by the Whites keeper. 

HALF TIME 2-0

The second half started with a couple of changes:  Tila Lawton replaced Ebony Eldridge in goal and Alliyah McDonnell came on in midfield.

The girls started the second half how they finished the first strong and determined. Kunbi Soleye was solid at the back along side Hannah, who was sweeping up any loose balls.

After playing the first half in goal, Ebony was fully of energy and was causing some trouble in the opposing box. Tila made some good saves in goal to keep the score at 2-0.

Alliyah was making some fantastic runs, but unfortunately we just couldn't score, with only a few minutes left the Whites went on the attack and managed to squeeze another goal making the final score 3-0.

We may have lost 3-0 today, but the girls should all be very proud of themselves.  They all put in 100% effort and never stopped running until the final whistle.  This is a brand new team who have fantastic potential and I am confident that as the season goes on we will grow into a fantastic team who will be a force to be reckoned with !!!!!

Once again - well done girls !

Player of the match: Ebony Eldridge  -  Great saves in the first half and full of energy and running in the second half.
