Off we set on our long and wet journey to Hitchin town not really sure whether the game would go ahead due to the nasty weather conditions we've had of late and also hoping that it wasn't going to be half as cold as the last time we were here.

For the first time in a number of weeks Peter (manager) was able to take a full squad and all seemed up for the game ahead.  Straight from kick off, we took complete control of the game with Poppy (captain) and Georgia F strong and steady at the back, Christie P, Xelia M-J and Emma T in midfield, Emma Rose up front and Daniella C in goal.

Our first of six goals came after some lovely passes that started with a lovely ball from Christie up to Xelia that ended up being put out by the the Hitchin goalie only to land on the end of Poppy's great right foot and which needless to say almost broke the back of our opponents net. This was closely followed by untidy defending which left Christie to slot home our second. 

Halfway through the first half Daniella was needed to pull off a great save on the edge of the box which up until then was mostly in the Hitchin half.  Xelia got the third after her hard work in midfield paid off and Tara S who came on for E.T got our well deserved fourth.

The second half saw us carry on the same as we left off.

With Georgia making some of her trademark tackles, E T, Christie and Xelia terrorizing the midfield which led to our fifth from Emma Rose and finally our sixth a second for Xelia. 

Apart from a mishap that led to the Hitchin goal, Spurs Blues look to be back to their best and certainly seemed to enjoy it.

Peter was over the moon with the girls and named E.T player of the match.

Well done girls.

Enfield Town A  v  Garston Ladies  -  match postponed  
Denham United  -     Tottenham Hotspur Whites  -    

For the second time in a week manager Peter Maynard had a full squad to pick from for our journey up the road to Enfield Town and as this is usually a tough fixture decided to take everyone.

Straight from the off the blues were on the attack against a full strength Enfield side and within five minutes we went 1-0 up to an Enfield own goal.  This was the incentive the girls needed as from that moment on we fully controlled the game.

Poppy Bennett and Georgia Fairs, then Poppy and Sophie ruled at the back with Xelia Mendes-Jones, Tara Sandford, Christie Page and ET (Emma Tammaro) dominating the midfield and Maya Vio was back to her brilliant self upfront scoring an hat-trick to put the game to bed halfway through the second half.

Enfield scored a consolation goal five minutes into the second half, but were overwhelmed by the Tottenham Blues who are back to their brilliant best.

Peter yet again couldn't name a player of the match due to the high standard everyone of the girls played to.
Well done girls.

The girls had an early start up the M1 at Luton today.

Again Peter (manager) had an almost full squad to chose from with only Xelia Mendes-Jones and Karla Simpson missing.

Unfortunately today was what is termed as a bad day at the office for the Tottenham blues against an aggressive Luton side. 

The girls were definitely not their usual selves and were complacent from start to finish with the exception of 1 or 2  players and our fantastic goalkeeper Daniella Charles who deservedly got the player of the match award.

The girls left the pitch in the knowledge that they had just handed the Luton team three points.

Today Tottenham Under-12 Blues faced Denham United, who Spurs B have failed to beat so far this season, in the quarter finals of the Under-11 League Cup.

Straight from the off the Blues held their own against one of the best teams in the league, with Daniella Charles and Tyra Poole doing their bit in goal with Poppy Bennett and Georgia Fairs rock solid at the back.  Christie Page and Emma T were making great runs down the flanks with Xelia Mendes-Jones and Emma Mackie causing problems for their defence. Tottenham created some great chances in the first half with Maya Vio and Sophia Sarno coming on midway through the first half really tested the Denham defence.     

The second half started the same way although Denham stood up well to the challenge and after 50 minutes the game was evenly poised.  Extra time didn’t seem to phase the girls although the same can’t be said for the parents on the sidelines.

Finally, halfway through the first half of extra time, Tottenham got a well deserved goal that came from an inch perfect pass from Sophia, who played her best game of the season to date, to super striker Maya who stroked the ball past the Denham goalie.  Tottenham weathered the storm until the last minute of extra time when Denham equalized.

We now faced penalties which gave Daniella Charles her chance to show off which she did by saving the first Denham penalty. Poppy sent us on our way with superbly taken spot kick then Denham scored to make it 1-1.  Xelia and Georgia unfortunately missed, but Daniella was rising to hero status by saving the next two Denham penalties. Sophia then almost burst the net open with her penalty leaving Denham having to score to stay in the cup.

Daniella once again showed her excellent shot stopping ability by saving the last Denham penalty sending Tottenham Blues into the Semi Finals.

Well Done Girls !!

Ashen faced manager Peter Maynard said “I am extremely proud of all the girls; they showed true grit.  I was gutted when the equalizing goal went in, but had every faith in Daniella to save the penalties."

Spurs B now face local rivals Enfield Town at home on the 19th April 2008.
