The Spurs Ladies Under 12s kick started the 2008-2009 season with an impressive friendly win over Essex league champions Tigers FC. 

Spurs opened the scoring with centre back Jenny Hunnable helping in attack midway through the first half, Tigers came back to level the score before Spurs took control to make it 2-1 with a well placed shot into the roof of the net by Christie Page. 

In the second half, Spurs begun to dominate with some great team play with goalkeeper Kitty Chapman excelling.  Our third goal came from a great little tap in from Maya Vio.  Hannah Fenton-Burgess was finally rewarded for her efforts with Spurs' fourth goal followed shortly after by a thoroughly deserved goal from Tia Fogarty who had made some great runs throughout. 

The new look Under-12s played attractive and incisive football throughout the 60 minutes and everyone is looking forward to a very promising upcoming season.

The under-12s took the new sized pitch in their stride.  In the first half Maddie Sollof and Rachel Hands impressed with some stunning runs up and down the flanks with Hannah Fenton-Burgess and Tia Fogarty slicing through the Garston defence every time they got the chance.  After some great team play starting from the back Hannah Fenton-Burgess netted Spurs first beating a much improved Garston keeper.  Spurs continued the half impressing throughout. 

Tasha Smits, Jenny Hunnable, Emma Tammaro and Georgia Fairs made an impressive back four making sure goalkeeper Kitty Chapman was rarely troubled.  

Manager Glenn Weaver made some changes with Tara Sandford, Evie Rose and Maya Vio slotting into midfield with ease and some great one-twos led to Maya Vio’s first of the afternoon shortly followed by her second and third although her third was ruled out for handball.  Spurs finished the half 3-0 up. 

We started the second half much the same as we finished the first.  Georgia Sanders, Poppy Bennett and Christie page all impressed with their solid performances in a change to the defence and captain Emma Lee continued to be influential in the middle of the field with some great passes out to the flanks. 

Maya Vio capped off her afternoon with a thoroughly deserved hat trick.  Garston pulled one back from a corner when Spurs let down their guard for the first time of the match.  Tia Fogarty finished off the game with a cutting run through the centre of the park to make it a deserved 5-1 victory.

Our first home game of the season started well with Tia Fogarty’s first of four goals within ten minutes of kick off, the Harvester keeper fumbled a save and Tia was there again to slot in her second two minutes later.

The third Tottenham goal came minutes later with one of many superb runs by Maddie Sollof down the entire length of the pitch ending with a lovely pass to Isabella Reuben-Crompton who smashed home to make it 3-0.  The fourth goal of the morning came from a corner and after a error from the Harvesters keeper, Emma Tammaro was on hand to make the most of their mistake. 

Tia got her hat trick on the 20 minute mark to make it 5-0. Goal number six was some great link up play in midfield with Hannah Fenton Burgess getting her first of three. 

It was 7-0 when a great pass from Georgia Fairs at left back found Tara Sandford, who slotted a lovely ball into the 18 yard box for Tia to make it her well deserved fourth.  Izzie seized the chance to get her second goal of the match with a great power shot from the middle of the field.  

Maya Vio made it on to the score sheet with Spurs ninth goal of the half after another sprinting run down the right flank from Maddie, who was rewarded for her efforts with Spurs tenth goal to finish the half. 

Captain Emma Lee scored within two minutes of the restart to make it 11-0. Minutes later Spurs forced a corner which led to a scramble in the box for Hannah to grab her second.  Goal 13 came from a smashing shot from Christie Page which the HFC keeper dropped and Maya Vio was again on hand to tap in. Hannah scored her hat trick after some beautiful link up play with Tia to make it 15-0. The match finally finished with Emma scoring her second goal with a lone run across goal to make it 16-0. 

Jenny Hunnable, Tasha Smits, Poppy Bennett, Evie Rose and Georgia Saunders all kept it tight at the back throughout the 60 minutes and goal keeper Kitty Chapman stepped up on the rare occasions she was needed.

The Spurs Ladies Under-12s had a long trek up the M25 to play Denham United B this morning in the HCGFL.  

Spurs took control with their first goal coming within three minutes with superb passing featuring Maya Vio who slotted through to Tia Fogarty for her first of yet another hat trick.  The girls kept up the pressure which paid off with a well placed corner from Isabella Rueben-Compton into Emma Tammaro, who took a swinging shot into the back of Denham goal.  The home side made a few chances of their own, but Tasha Smits and Jenny Hunnable were, as usual, impeccable at the back. 

On the 19 minute mark Tia netted her second of the game following a lovely pass through the centre from Emma Lee.  Manager Glenn Weaver made some changes as Georgia Saunders, Poppy Bennett, Christie Page, Tara Sandford and Hannah Fenton-Burgess came on and took over where the subbed players left off. Five minutes before the half time whistle Christie Page and Georgia Fairs played some lovely one-twos, resulting in a superb shot smashed in by Georgia Fairs to finish the half 4-0 up. 

The second half started with Spurs again piling on the pressure and it wasn’t long before Spurs took the goal tally to five with Rachel Hands and Hannah making one of their thrilling runs through the middle of the oppositions' defence for Hannah to slide home.

Again Denham continued to fight back but the back line, but found goalkeeper Kitty Chapman making sure that any threats were soon extinguished.  Maddie Sollof was rewarded for her persistence when Emma Lee put in another great pass from the left flank for Maddie to smash pass a shell-shocked Denham goalkeeper.  Maddie then made one of her now trademark lone runs up the right side to slot in a lovely pass for Tia to finish off for her hat trick. 

Spurs continued to play some great football with the girls passing throughout the length of the pitch.  Our eighth goal come from a pass halfway up the pitch from Christie Page to Tasha Smits, who knocked the ball onto Maddie.  The midfielder placed an inch perfect shot into the back of the Denham goal for her second of the day and Tottenham finished off the match with a fantastic run down the left side from Georgia Fairs, who passed to Hannah.  The striker's shot was blocked, but the ball came back out to Georgia F, who curled it in to the top of the net, finishing the match with Spurs being 9-0 winners. 

Although the score doesn’t reflect it Denham B were a good, organised team but the Under-12s played some excellent intelligent football and thoroughly deserved this great win.

The weather was far from ideal with us all being soaked before we even kicked off but the girls were in good spirits and well up for the match ahead. 

Within three minutes of the start Tia Fogarty ran at the Angels defence and a moment of mass confusion led to her first goal of the game this was closely followed by a lovely knock in from Rachel Hands for the second goal for Spurs. 

The girls continued to run the game and Christie Page made it 3-0 after her persistence down the right flank finally paid off. Spurs kept the ball in the Angels half and Isabella Rueben-Compton scored a great goal from one of her now infamous corner kicks. Although Little Angels put up a really brave fight sadly they were no match for our u12s who continued with a cracking shot on the edge of the 18 yard box from Christie for her second.  

Rachel got her second shortly after with a smashing shot into the top right corner of the net.  Manager Glenn Weaver made two changes putting on Maddie Sollof and Tara Sandford who straight away took control in the middle of the field.  Maddie scored two goals in quick concession through some lovely team passing between Evie Rose and Emma Tammaro.  Christie got her well deserved hat trick with about five minutes of the half to spare. The half finished at 9-0  

Two minutes into the second half saw Emma Lee make it 10-0. Georgia Fairs scored her third of the season after moving up to play at right mid and then some lovely passing starting at the back with Jenny Hunnable saw Maddie get another hat trick. The 13^th THLFC goal was smashed in from just outside the 18 yard box from Georgia F and after playing her part in the middle of the park, Tara was rewarded with a goal of her own to make it 14-0.  With less than five minutes left Poppy Bennett went on a lone run securing our fifteenth followed by another power shot into the Angels net by Issy to finish the match 16-0.  A special mention for goalkeeper Kitty Chapman who although not troubled showed great sportsmanship throughout. 

All credit goes to the Little Angels team who throughout this massive defeat gave 100% and battled right up to the final whistle and we wish them well in the future.

Straight from the off Spurs went on the attack and it paid off after four minutes for Tia Fogarty who can’t seem to stop scoring at the moment, seven minutes later Tia got her second after linking up with Emma Tammaro and Maya Vio.

Isabella Rueben Compton falsed a great save from the Stotfold keeper then helped set up Maya for our third goal. Stotfold broke for the first time in the match but Evie Rose was on hand to make a great clearance.

Manager Glenn Weaver made some changes and straight away Hannah Fenton Burgess run through on goal for her first.

Emma Lee, Christie Page and Poppy Bennett continued to dominate in their positions playing ball after ball up to their forward players and Tara Sandford who had been terrorizing the opposing defence made it 5-0 when she managed to slip past their last player.

Stotfold continued to battle for every ball but couldn’t do anything to stop Tia who got yet another well deserved hat trick just before half time.

The second half kicked off with the Tottenham u12s sitting on a 6-0 lead.  A wonderful five pass move between Maya and Hannah gave Hannah her second goal of the match making the score 7-0.

Jenny Hunnable, Tasha Smits, Kitty Chapman and Georgia Fairs were as usual impeccable in their designated roles and Georgia Saunders impressed further up the field.  Tasha Smits showed her versatility by going on a run of her own and smashing past the Stotfold keeper for Spurs eighth goal of the day.

Tia hit the net for the fourth time after a pass from Emma T followed by a well deserved second for Maya, who had been instrumental in at least four of the ten goals scored.  It was Tia who finished the scoring with her fifth of the morning giving the Tottenham u12s an 11-0 victory.

Although the score line was vast it could have been a lot more if not for the Stotfold Junior goalkeeper who pulled off some magnificent saves throughout the match.

The Tottenham u12s travelled up the A10 for their first meeting with Hoddesdon Owls in the HCGFL.

The match started with Hoddesdon adopting a five man defence. The game was even until the nine minute mark when Tia Fogarty bulldozed her way through two defenders to score her first of the afternoon.

All the play continued in the oppositions half of the field and all credit to the Owls they continued to keep it tight at the back, yet another goal mouth scramble allowed Rachel Hands to make some space for herself to make it 2-0. All the girls played their part with Emma Lee, Georgia Sanders and Emma Tammaro playing lovely balls up to Maya Vio and Tia Fogarty who fought their way through the Hoddesdon defence only to be denied by the Owls keeper.

Tia got her second when she headed in from an Isabella Rueben-Compton corner to make it 3-0.  After some lovely runs down the right flank Maddie Sollof got her reward when she smashed home from another wonderful corner kick from Issie.

The game continued in the same vain with Tottenham having all the play and on the rare occasion that the Owls broke Jenny Hunnable, Tasha Smits, Poppy Bennett and Evie Rose were there to clear.

Just before half time Georgia Fairs, who had been making some great runs down the left side, hit a cracking volley from a Isabella cross to make it 5-0 at the half time whistle.

Tottenham were caught out early into the second half when Hoddesdon managed to penetrate our defence and just beat goalie Kitty Chapman to make it 5-1.

The u12s quickly recovered and within minutes Maya gave us back our five goal advantage, when Hannah Fenton-Burgess blocked a goal kick and blasted back at the Hoddesdon goal for the keeper to spill straight into the path of Maya to bang in to make it 6-1.

Spurs continued to pile on the pressure, with the girls playing some lovely intelligent passes in all areas of the pitch and this led to our seventh goal, when after a five pass move which started from Christie Page at the back, led to Rachel getting her second with a great shot from the edge of the 18 yard box.

Tia got her hat trick five minutes from time when she broke past three players for a one on one with the Hoddesdon keeper, finishing the game 8-1 to the Tottenham u12s.
