Unfortunately, when the Echoes arrived they only had nine players and Spurs took good advantage of this with all the players and subs paying a great game. 

Becky Shephard started the scoring in the fourth minute to which she added four more throughout the game.  With great assists from Chloe Kraemer, Katie Ramsden and Kirsty Cunoosamy, the goals kept coming and with great defending and passing from Lotty Lovejoy-Crump, Leanne Simmons, Rosie Daly and Tayla Goodman the ball stayed in the Echoes end for most of the game.

As well as Becky's five goals there were four from Katie, hat tricks from Ruby Marlow and Kelly Fenlon, with two each for Rosie and Alex Robinson (who was player of the match).

Lotty and Leanne were put forward from defence to play up front, where Lotty scored a goal.  Also on the scoresheet with one each were Kirsty, Chloe, Sinead Makins and Chante Read to make the final score Spurs 24 Echoes Youth 0.

The Echoes didn't lose heart and kept fighting to the end of the game playing with great character and fairness.

After a battling first half performance, Spurs Under-14 Blues slipped to another defeat at the hands of Harvesters A at Frederick Knights this afternoon.

Starting with plenty of vigour, the Spurs girls restricted Harvesters to long shots on goal and the closest the visitors got was a shot after ten minutes, which bounced off the upright.

In the second half, the visitors played a more attacking style and scored within ten minutes of the restart and then ran in four further goals, with Player of the Match goalkeeper Megan Barsby producing some brave dives at attackers feet to stop them adding to their score, with the team struggling to find the fluency they have striven to play with.

Having played most of the teams in the top half of the table, the confidence that will come with a good win is hopefully on the cards soon.

Although Spurs played quite well, they suffered another loss, with Luton Town Belles scoring twice in each half to record a 4-0 win.

There were a few good chances for Spurs to hit the net, with two good breakaways by Kelly Fenlon, shots on tatrget from Becky Shephard and Chloe Kraemer and a good long-range free-kick from Rosie Daly that went just over the crossbar.  However, a goal would just not come for Tottenham.

Player of the match went to Kirsty Cunoosamy for her determination throughout the game.

Manager John Goodman said, "It was encouraging to see the girls play well even on the end of another defeat, they kept their heads up and showed determination.  Luton did not have it all their own way."

This was a game Spurs Under-14 Blues didn't deserve to lose, with every member of the team fighting hard and playing well.

In the sixth minute of the game, Chante Read made a great pass to Becky Shephard, who hit the outside of the post and then a few minutes later, Becky hit the cross bar from a similar move.

The midfield kept the flow of play going well and when the ball was in the Spurs end, the back four held the ball up well.  Then, in the 22nd minute, a ball passed back across the Spurs goal was intercepted by a Hitchin player and knocked into the net, this being the only goal of the first half.

Spurs came out fighting in the second half and Becky hit the crossbar again, before Rosie Daly had a free kick that narrowly went wide.  In the 46th minute, Becky scored to make the score 1-1 with a good finish to a through ball she ran on to.  However, in the final seconds of the game, Hitchin hit the ball over Megan Barsby's head into the back of the net and the game finished 2-1 to Hitchin.

Tayla Goodman had tackled and blocked play well throughout the game and was made player of the match.
