Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC -

Under-10 Whites match reports 2005-06

A first in Spurs Ladies' history saw the U10 Whites take on the U10 Blues in the Chairman's Cup Final at Frederick Knights Sports Ground, putting in a fine display before succumbing to their club colleagues.  It was a colourful day out with the Blues in white and the Whites in yellow.

In the first half, the Blues showed some Cup Final nerves as they were closed down quickly by Kathleen Jackson and Rhiannon Bassett, with Georgia Miller keeping the Blues defence on their toes.  Keeper Lauren Holman made a couple of very good saves and when replaced by Kitty Chapman, a shot from Danielle Wheeler was expertly tipped over the bar.   While there was little threat for the Blues keeper, the hard work put in by Kayla Miles and Hannah Fenton-Burgess kept their opponents occupied.

With five minutes to go to half-time, a long shot from Molly Bartrip beat Kitty at her post to give the Blues the lead.  The Whites enjoyed a bit of luck when a shot from Lulu Fox hit the post and bounced out.

Into the second half, the Blues settled and passed the ball batter making it hard for the Whites to gain possession of the ball.  A goal after two minutes made their task even harder.  Danielle Wheeler cut in from the left wing to hit a powerful shot that beat Lauren in goal.  She made amends later with two good saves, before making way for Kitty again.  

The Blues wrapped up the win with a goal seven minutes into the half, when a shot hit the post and bounced out to Lulu, who hit the ball back into the net to make it 3-0.  

Evie Rose, Tara Sandford, Jacqueline McLucas, Christie Paige and Tyesha Charles all played their part in the Blues effort and the girls should be proud of their display in reaching the final of this competition in their first season together and with half the side a year younger than the age group they are playing at.
