The match was played with both teams putting in solid performances.

Crystal Palace took the lead twice, but the Tottenham girls battled back with two great goals by Isabella Reuben-Compton and Rachel Hands, which finally forced extra time.

Spurs continued to battle through, but were beaten by two exceptional goals from Palace late on.

The match finished 4-2.

Although the girls faced their first defeat of the season, they played the game with great sportsmanship throughout and were a real credit to Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC.  Bad luck girls.

The Tottenham Ladies Under-12s were at a pleasant Fred Knights today for our quarter final of the HCGF League Cup against St Martins. 

The match was an even affair with both teams not afraid of going on the attack and both defences being called upon to keep the game level.

Spurs finally got the break on the 15 minute mark when a Isabella Reuben-Crompton corner was deflected out for a waiting Maya Vio to slot past two defenders into the back of the oppositions net. 1-0

The rest of the first half carried on in the same manner, although the game was a much more stop start affair due to the amount of injuries to both teams. 

Tottenham applied most of the pressure at the start of the second half and after a number of corners and saved shots on goal Rachel Hands managed to get a shot past the goalie, who up to now had been hard to beat.  2-0

Spurs continued to make most of the chances and Issy took hers when she curled a beautiful ball into the roof of the St Martins net.  3-0

St Martins didn't give up and clawed one back after a mix up in the Tottenham defence, this gave the opposition renewed hope and they continued to take shots from all over the pitch, which led to their second goal in the dying minutes. The final score finished 3-2 which sees us progress to the semis. 

Manager Glenn Weaver, although pleased with the win, was less impressed with the girls overall performance and most would agree that the girls can play much better then of late.

The Tottenham Ladies Under-12s were at a warm and sunny Fred Knights today for our third meeting of the season against St Martins. 

The girls took control of the match from the off and were determined that the mistakes that happened in our last meeting did not happen again today. 

Tottenham scored on the 20 minute mark after a lovely pass from Tara Sandford for Tia Fogarty to slot in. The half finished with Spurs 1-0 to the good.

Not long into the second half Isobella Rueben-Crompton made it 2-0 with one of her notorious long range shots.  St Martins kept trying, but were no match for the girls in the white and blue of Spurs.  Our final goal came from a penalty after Rachel Hands was brought down in the area.  Emma Lee stepped up to take the spot kick, which was saved by the St Martins goalie, although Emma was first to take advantage of the spill and slotted home to finish the match 3-0.

All the girls played their part in this entertaining game and the passing at times was superb but Player of the Match went to Georgia Sanders who was excellent today. Well done girls.

The girls knew from the start that this was going to be a close run match, but as usual took it all in their stride. The first ten minutes were played more or less end to end, with Spurs having most of the chances, but failing to convert.  Luton managed to break on the odd occasion but was quickly closed down by our ever impressive back line, which today started with Georgia Fairs, Georgia Sanders, Jenny Hunnable and Poppy Bennett with usual centre back Tasha Smits in her new Wilson Palacios role. 

Emma Lee, Maddie Sollof and Isabella Rueben-Crompton impressed in midfield, With Tia Fogarty and Maya Vio ever threatening up front.  Although Spurs threatened on numerous occasions the half finished a tense 0-0. 

Within five minutes of the restart Tia finally got us of the mark when after a failed clearance managed to slip the ball past the opposition  keeper.  1-0 Spurs.  Rachel Hands who had come on as striker made it 2-0 when she shot in from the edge of the box, which bounced straight over the Luton keeper.  Changes were made.  Evie Rose slipped into defence, with Emma Tamarro and Christie Page taking their turns on the flanks and Hannah Fenton-Burgess took over the charge upfront.

Spurs were given a bit of a fright when Luton were awarded a penalty after what the referee saw as a foul inside our box, Kitty Chapman stood tall and ready but the spot kick went wide. 

Tottenham were not content with the score-line and continued to press the Luton defence, Emma T was rewarded for her persistence when she made it 3-0 with a volley from inside the box.  Christie Page got our fourth and final goal which was just reward for her hard work down the right flank with approximately eight minutes to go.

The match finished 4-0 and the Tottenham Hotspur Ladies Under-12s deservedly confirmed as HCGFL Champions.  

Every single member of this talented team including Tara Sandford, who was injured today, have contributed to becoming the first 11-a-side Spurs Ladies team at junior level to win the league and should all be very proud of themselves. Well done girls.
