However, apart from the weather there was very little to smile about early on as Denham took the game to us. We may have pipped them to the title but they were very much looking like champions as they created a couple of early chances before being scrambled away by a panicking spurs defence. They did however get there rewards when Spurs failed to clear. Denham then played some lovely football to put their striker through on goal. Despite Emma Tammaro’s best effort to stop the shot it ended up in the back of the net to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

Denham grew in more confidence and at times was playing us off the park. Every time we did seem to get the ball our passes were either going astray or the ball was bouncing off our shins. Denham however began turning the screw and if it was not for some superb defending by Natasha and Rebecca we may have been in serious trouble.

However, we did gather ourselves and then enjoyed our first spell of pressure. Xelia, Maya and Chloe grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and began running at the Denham defence. We then created a couple of chances. Firstly, Poppy Bennett flashed her cross right across goal only for Maya and Xelia to miss it narrowly. A long ball then gave Maya the chance to score an unlikely equaliser only for our resident fox in the box to uncharacteristically miss the ball.

We were then delivered a sucker punch. Just after our best spell of the game so far Denham went down the other end and doubled their lead. Denham produced some lovely football. This gave their midfielder the chance to produce a lovely through ball to their striker who finished clinically.

It was then back to the wall stuff as Denham put us under more pressure and without us hanging in there they may have scored again as the half drew to a close with Denham holding a well deserved 2-0 lead.

While there were a few niggling comments at each other that I didn’t like during half time, I have to say there was great determination in the girls during that 10 minute break. While we have come back from losing score lines this season it was perhaps the first time that we had been comprehensively outplayed in a half of football. They looked hurt by the first 35 but angry that it had happened and extremely determined to do something about it. There was certainly no time to be feeling sorry about ourselves! One thing that was key was that we keep the ball and control it better.

While the first fifteen minutes were miles better in terms of our play we were being frustrated by an excellently well drilled Denham defence. However pluck away we did and the game turned into an exciting match that swung end to end. We did however get a huge slice of luck that got us back into the match. Spurs attacked once more but was then cleared again by a Denham defender. Christie Page then ran on to the loose ball and smashed it back from where it came from. The ball then flew over the defence and took a wicked bounce in front of the keeper which looped over her head and in.

This raised our spirits even more and perhaps began to sew seeds of doubt in Denham minds. We were now playing some lovely stuff and we were now winning 50-50 balls that we were getting beat to in the first half. Our centre midfielders were getting stuck in and Jacqui and Rayanne were getting involved in some brilliant battles with their Denham counterparts. Denham were always threatening though and they could have restored their lead had it not been for some sensational last ditch defending from Natasha, Rebecca and an off the line clearance by Poppy.

Spurs then hit Denham on the break, attacking with pace the ball found its way to Xelia Mendes Jones who produced a superb pass to Maya. The next part seemed to take part in slow motion ... Having it all to do as she powered past the defender and then managed to pip the goalkeeper to the ball the slam the ball home.

Delirium!

It was now game on as the game headed to a frantic and exciting ending (as is tradition between Denham and Spurs). The ball went from end to end and both teams could have won it in the dying minutes. Firstly, Chloe Ahmet and Maya Vio combined to put in give Xelia an opportunity, but her shot went agonizingly wide of the left upright. Seconds later Denham had a chance of their own. Producing some superb skill the Denham attacker went past two of our girls and raced into the area. The shot had Emma Tammaro beaten, but thankfully it went inches wide.

That was the last of any real action as both teams found it difficult to gain sustained possession of the ball as the game drew to a close.

Although, it was a poor first half I was ecstatic with our attitude in the second. We battled, were competitive and most importantly never believed that we were beaten. The result now means that we have gone the league season unbeaten which I think Is an great achievement and something that the players, parents and supporters should be proud of.  Player of the match today narrowly goes to Natasha, who I thought was superb at the back today.

Today we played Islington Borough for the second time in three weeks. This time it was the League Cup Quarter Final. We went into the game determined and not to allow Islington to cause us the trouble they did a few weeks earlier. 

I’m happy to say we started the game superbly, playing some lovely football with Izzie Rueben Crompton pulling the strings from midfield. We did not have to wait long for the goals to come as Xelia Mendes Jones (starting upfront) took full advantage of Islington’s high backline. She simply did her marker for space to run free and smash the ball beyond the keeper. 

The second was not long in the making as Chloe Ahmet finally got herself on the score sheet after weeks of going close. She used her strength and speed to superbly power through the Islington defence and finish smartly passed the keeper.  

We were really turning the screw now and it was three soon after. Izzie Rueben Crompton took a superb pin point corner that narrowly missed Spurs heads. The ball looked like it was going to be collected by the Islington keeper but she was unable to hold onto it. The ball fell straight to Maddie Sollof to score her sixth of the season. 

Izzie Rueben Crompton went close before the girls produced some more lovely football to give Xelia the chance to score her second of the game and Spurs fourth. Xelia then scored her hat trick soon after to give Spurs a 5-0 lead into the break. 

After witnessing some of our best football of the season during the first half the aim was to keep the standard up. To their credit Islington dug in and attempted to put us under pressure by hitting long balls to their centre forwards. However, our back four were up to the task and dealt with the challenge superbly. 

It didn’t take long for the next goal to come when Chloe Ahmet got a well deserved second goal of the game to make it 6-0. Soon after Islington managed to get a consolation goal after we seemed to fall asleep for about 10 minutes. Nonetheless it was a well taken goal by the Islington striker. 

This setback did not deter us and we managed to get two more before the end of the game. Xelia Mendes Jones got her fourth of the game to make it 7-1 and Maya Vio got herself on the act to make 8-1 just before time. 

Overall, I thought we played some superb football today. Particularly in the first half where it was definitely the best half’s of football we have produced this season.  

Player of the match today is Xelia for her four goals, although Izzie also deserves a mention as she was also superb.

The result now sets us up with a Semi-Final date against Denham United on the 8^th May to be played at Fred Knights. Next week we travel to Denham for our last league match where we will attempt to go the whole league season unbeaten.

Today we welcomed Biggleswade United to Fred Knights in our final home league game of the season. Thanks to Omonia’s surprise win over Denham last Sunday, we knew that a draw would be enough to see us lift the league championship.

However, things did not go according to plan early on as Biggleswade scored in the first few minutes.  The visitors hit a long ball forward, but the defence were unable to deal with it properly. The header found its way to their midfielder who produced through ball. It appeared that Emma Tammaro and Natasha Smits would deal with it, but an unfortunate mix up allowed the striker to nip in and score.

Fortunately this seemed to give us the boost we needed and we quickly realised that Biggleswade didn’t travel down to London for a jolly up. Spurs started to play football but were frustrated by a mixture of good goalkeeping, defending and a poor final ball.  However, with about 10 minutes to half time Spurs got the goal they needed when Xelia Mendes Jones broke free of the stubborn Biggleswade defence and slid the ball under the keeper to make it 1-1.

The goal did us a world of good and we were now playing the football we are capable of producing, opening the defence up on several occasions, only for the keeper to produce some more smart saves.  We did go into the break at 2-1 though.  Some more smart build up play between the strikers and the central midfield helped put Xelia through on goal and she then produced an excellent half volley which left the keeper with no chance.

The second half started much the same as the first half ended. Spurs had plenty of possession but were again frustrated by Biggleswade. As the minutes ticked by it appeared Spurs took their foot off the pedal and this allowed Biggleswade back into the game. They went close a couple of times but came up against Emma Tammaro in goal and the back four who were now defending superbly.

This did allow us the opportunity to break on the counter attack and did so superbly a couple of times but were unable to add to the lead. However, with ten minutes to go and with Biggleswade legs starting to look a little bit tired, Maya Vio scored a well deserved goal to make it 3-1 and secure the league title.

As I said after the game it wasn’t the greatest of performances today. This was mainly because we started the game poorly and had a poor 15 minutes half-way through the second half.  In saying that I am pleased with the amount of chances we created. If we had the a bit more luck with the final ball and were not up against an in form keeper then it could have been more. Player of the Match is a toss-up between Xelia and Maya. Xelia took her goals superbly and produced some superb crosses from the wing. Maya was superb throughout the whole game today and worked her socks off in creating opportunities for herself and others. She fully deserved her goal today. I cannot decide between them so will give it to them both.

Looking at the season as a whole it has been a tremendous effort by the girls to win back the title from a very good Denham team. Especially when you consider that we are still unbeaten. 

However, while I am delighted by what we achieved so far, I am mindful that there is still plenty to be done.  We now turn our attention the visit of Islington Borough in the League Cup next Sunday before we put our unbeaten league record on the line against Denham on the 13^th April.  We of course have the Tesco Cup on the horizon which should be a great experience for us all so plenty to look forward to !

Back in league action this week as we made the short distance across the reservoir to take on a tricky Islington side. We made a poor start to the game as Islington created a couple of early chances due to a combination of long balls and sloppy defending.

We did however take the lead when Tia Fogarty continued her superb recent form by racing onto a superb through ball and producing a neat finish. The goal appeared to breathe some life into us as it was not soon after that we scored a second. A neat Spurs move opened up the Islington defence and gave the Maya Vio the opportunity to score. Her shot was well saved, but Skye Coleing-Lasley was on hand to add the second by heading into an empty net.

Spurs should have been on their way to a comfortable win, but to their credit Islington came roaring back with two goals in quick succession. The disappointing thing about conceding them was that they were both identical.  A long ball hoofed forward and both our midfield and defences failure to defend from such a basic ball.  I think if we are all honest with ourselves we should not be conceding goals like this.

Anyway ... back to the game and Islington continued to press the Spurs backline.  Fortunately for us, we were always a threat going forward and Tia was on hand once again to give us a 3-2 lead.  We had a number of other chances just before half time but we were unable to add to it before the break.

The second half started well and we looked a bit more composed when defending from the long ball. We were also creating a number of chances.  Emma Lee fired just wide before Xelia Mendes Jones and Izzie Rueben Crompton produced a number of fine saves from the keeper.  Emma Tammaro was in action as well down the other end, but her control of her area and distribution was fantastic, as it has been all season.

We finally got the fourth goal when Tia scored her hat-trick and her 19^th of the season to make it 4-2. Maya the got herself on the score sheet after recovering from a knock early in the first half to make it 5-2 and secure the three vital points.

And what a three vital points they were as a few hours later it was confirmed that Omonia had surprisingly beaten title rivals Denham 2-0. The result now means that we now only need a point from our last two games to secure the League Championship.

Our first opportunity to do this will come this Sunday at home to Biggleswade.  It won’t be an easy game but it will be superb if we can take the title on home turf.

Player of the match goes to Tia Fogarty.

Today we travelled the short distance to take on Enfield in the First Round of the HCGFL League Cup. Enfield are in good form and currently in second place in the Second division, so we knew that we could not be complacent.

The first ten minutes were edgy as Spurs found the small pitch hard to get used to. Despite trying to get the ball out wide to our fast wingers we were unable to do so as the ball continuously ran out of play where it wouldn’t have done on a normal sized pitch.

However, it was Spurs who took the lead when Maya Vio capitalised on a long ball from Natasha Smits. Natasha’s clearance split the Enfield defence and our resident fox in the box Maya beat the keeper to put us one goal to the good.

Tia made it two moments later, outrunning the Enfield defenders to the ball and slotting past the goalkeeper.

The third came five minutes later when Xelia Mendes Jones ran down the right and thumped the ball across the six yard box. The ball then ricocheted off the helpless Enfield defender and in to the back of the net. 3-0 at half time.

Enfield occasionally threatened at the beginning of second half, but it was Spurs who were to score extend their lead. After making a smart save the Enfield keeper scuffed her kick right into the path of the grateful Chloe Ahmet, who took her chance to score her fourth of the season.

Tia scored her second next when Xelia Mendes Jones produced a smart chip over the defence to put Tia through one-on-one with the keeper and she did not disappoint with her finish to make it 5-0.

Maya was next back on the score sheet to make it 6-0 just before claiming her hat trick and player of the match award for her smart finishing, movement and link up play.

Overall it was an excellent performance from the girls who did not let the small pitch affect us despite a settling in period at the beginning of the game. I was particularly pleased with the build up play around the box which we have been working on in training.

We can now look forward to a home Quarter Final tie with Islington Borough on the 3^rd April. Until then our attention turns back to the league with two huge games against Islington and Biggleswade.

If there is ever an ‘El Classico’ of the Home Counties Girls Football League, then it is definitely between Spurs and Denham United (just without the politics!). In my year and a half of coaching and managing with Spurs Ladies there has been one game that always produces excitement, action and goals. I’m pretty sure my predecessors would agree and Sunday's encounter between the two bucked the trend.

The game started with plenty of tension and the boggy condition of the pitch meant that neither team were able to get their normal passing game going. However both teams eventually settled down and Denham had the opportunity to open the scoring when their striker went through on goal producing a good save from Emma Tammaro.

Both teams continued to threaten but it was Spurs who took the lead after an excellent move. After a throw in down the right, Poppy Bennett produced a brilliant cross to Tia Fogarty who managed to get in front of her marker and fire her shot past the keeper.

The goal set the game alight and Spurs continued to try and breakdown the impressive Denham defence but were unable to do so. The attacking nature of the game also left both teams vulnerable to counter attacks and it was Denham who took advantage of this as the half came to a close. Putting Spurs under increasing pressure they produced a number of attacks that were only snubbed out thanks to the superb defensive partnership of Natasha Smits and Rebecca Vachos and the fullbacks. However, Denham got the goal they were looking and probably deserved when a mix-up between the midfield and defence let in the Denham striker who fully took advantage by firing her shot passed Emma T.

The second half started just as it left off. Denham continued with the pressure but again some superb defending from the back four prevented them from getting a second. However, an unfortunate mix-up between the otherwise superb defenders let the Denham strikers in and this time took advantage by going 2-1 up.

The game then became frantic as Spurs attempted to take the game to Denham in order to find an equaliser. Denham were also trying to put the game to bed but both teams could not seem to gain possession of the ball for a long enough period in order to put together a serious attack. As the clock ticked down Spurs seemed to gain the upper hand, winning a number of corners from some promising attacks. To their credit the Denham defence dealt with these well and it was starting to look like one of those days. However, with three minutes to go, Tia Fogarty produced a superb piece of individual skill to score the all important equaliser. About twenty five yards out she gained control of the ball and dribbled past two Denham defenders before using her pace to go past a third to go through one-on-one with the keeper. Under the circumstances some strikers may have snatched at the chance but Tia produced a superb finish past the keeper as the Spurs support went wild!

The game then had an exciting close as it became end to end stuff with both teams searching for a winner. Denham came closest to the win but their strikers shot was straight at Emma T.

As the final whistle blew we were all left marvel at what was another enjoyable Denham-Spurs encounter. Although it was not our best performance of the season it was an excellent result, especially when you consider that we had only one sub to call upon. The result keeps us 3 points clear at the top of the league with three games to play.

Special praise must go to Natasha and Rebecca at centre back who were sensation. I can’t choose between them for Player of the Match so I have given it to both of them.  Rayanne and Skye also must have a mention as I asked them to play out of position but they still gave it 110 percent. Xelia’s tracking back was excellent in the last fifteen minutes. Tia was superb also and made herself an absolute nuisance from the moment she came on and fully deserved the goals she scored.

Finally, I would like to say well done to both sets of players, the opposition coaches and the referee for an excellent match.

Today saw Fred Knights host this seasons London Cup Final where the winners would not only win a shiny new trophy but also a place in the prestigious Tesco Cup to be held in April. 

The game started slowly with a mixture of both teams trying to get rid of any nerves that may have been floating about. However it quickly sprang into life when Emma Tammaro was made an excellent save when Long Lane went through on goal. From there it was Spurs who attacked, Xelia running down the right wing and whipping in dangerous cross only to miss the oncoming strikers. Then it was Maddie’s turn on the left wing to shine as she got in behind the back four several times and was unlucky not help open the scoring before she did. However, she didn’t have to wait long.  After linking up well with Christie, she tore down the left wing, beating two Long Lane players, she then turned inside a third defender just outside the box and produced a screamer that flew into the top right corner of the net to give Spurs the lead. 

Long Lane continued to battle but the Spurs left side were causing real damage and their link up play helped Spurs double the lead, when Xelia Mendes Jones tapped in from close range.  

Some of the football being played was superb and Spurs went close again through Tia Fogarty. Poppy Bennett produced a great pass from right back to put Tia through, but a combination of good defending and goalkeeping prevented her from extending the lead.  She was then put through minutes later, only for her to stop after thinking that the linesman had ruled her offside. 

Long Lane then had a good spell just before half time but some superb defending from Natasha and Rebecca ensured that Spurs went into half time 2-0 to the good. 

As expected Long Lane came out all guns blazing after the interval and put the Spurs defence pressure. For the most part the back four dealt with the attacks well but Long Lane got their reward when some sloppy passing gifted their centre forward the ball.  She bulldozed her way through the midfield and was far too quick for Rayanne, who could only bring her down on the edge of the area.  From there, the resulting free kick was struck into the bottom corner of the net to make it 2-1.

The response to the Long Lane goal was fantastic.  Straight from the restart the Spurs team woke up and began attacking again.  Some nice football put Maddie through on the right; she cut the ball back to Emma Lee, whose shot was well saved by the goalkeeper.  However, the keeper was unable to keep hold of it and Maya tapped in to make it 3-1. 

This did not worry Long Lane and to their credit they never gave up.  However, as they got forward in numbers, it made them vulnerable to counter attacks.  Skye Coleing-Lasley took advantage of this when a Long Lane attack broke down.  Running down the left of midfield, she went through one-on-one with the keeper and produced a stunning chip to make it 4-1 to Spurs.  

As the final whistle blew the Spurs players and supporters were jubilant over what was a superb performance and hopefully the first of many trophies this season.  The man of the match award is too hard to call as there were a number of superb performances from the girls, so I have decided to give it to the team as a whole.  

Well done !

All thoughts of next Sundays London Cup Final had to be put out of mind as we welcomed our local rivals and a very much improved Omonia side to Fred Knights.  

Spurs started out with a 4-3-3 formation with Emma T in goal, an unchanged back four of Poppy Bennett, Christie Page and the in-form centre backs of Natasha Smits and Rebecca Vachos. Emma Lee, Izzy Rueben Crompton and Jacqueline McLucas made up the midfield. Top goal-scorer Xelia Mendes Jones started as right wing forward with Maddie Sollof on the opposite flank. Finally Tia Fogarty led the line up front. 

The first half started fairly well for Spurs as the central midfielders seemed to outnumber Omonia’s and thanks to some smart through balls were finding the runs of our front three. Unfortunately, the windy conditions were causing our defence problems and the Omonia keeper took advantage of this with some big kicks up field. Despite some hairy moments our defence handled these well and were able to survive a number of dangerous long balls.  

Spurs were then the subject of some bad luck when Poppy Bennett was forced to come off as a precaution ahead of next week and then Emma Lee was forced off with a nose bleed when the ball hit her square in the face. As a result we were forced back to our normal 4-4-2 formation. On came the versatile Skye Coleing Lashley at right back and Chloe Ahmet joined the impressive Tia Fogarty up front. 

This seemed to work as Spurs caught Omonia on the break. Izzy Rueben Crompton picked the ball in the centre of pitch and played a superb ball to put Xelia through on goal. She didn’t miss, firing across the keeper and into the net. 

We now had Omonia under pressure and went close again when Tia went through on goal only for the keeper to make a good save. However, it wasn’t long before we had our second. Some more smart play from the Spurs midfield gave Xelia the chance to put a ball into the area, firing a cross right across the six yard box. The keeper got a good hand on it which evaded all of the incoming Spurs attack and fell to an Omonia defender. However, in what proved to be a weird moment, the defender put the ball into her own net to give us a 2-0 lead heading towards half time. 

However, Omonia need to be given some credit for not giving up and they were rewarded just before the break when a long kick from the keeper caused havoc in the spurs back four and the Omonia striker produced a superb finish to pull it back to 2-1 at half time. 

As with previous weeks the aim was to not allow the opposition back into the game early on. Spurs started the half brightly with both wingers getting behind the Omonia defence, producing crosses that only the needed one of the strikers to take a chance in order to restore our lead. Next, it was Emma Lee and Izzy’s turn to have a go from long range. Izzy’s long range shot hitting the post and the Emma’s attempt went inches wide of the left upright. 

It was then Omonia turn to have a spell and it was them who scored the all important fourth goal of the game when Spurs were hit on the break after the attack broke down. The Omonia winger brought the ball out of defence and sprinted down the left wing. With the Spurs midfield struggling to get back it gave Omonia the chance to get forward in numbers and eventually they outnumbered the Spurs defence, the winger beating the Spurs full back before passing the ball across the six yard box to give the oncoming striker a tap in.  

It was now all to be played for. However, Spurs responded superbly with Chloe Ahmet and Tia Fogarty attacking the Omonia goal straight from the restart. Xelia Mendes Jones eventually picked the ball up on the right and attacked the full back, she combined superbly with Jacqui (now on at right back) and Emma Lee before crossing the ball into the centre. The ball was slightly behind Tia but she adjusted superbly, using her body to fend off the Omonia defender and loop the ball over her head and the keeper's to give Spurs the all important 3-2 lead. 

The last ten minutes was a scrappy but nervous affair, with both teams battling for possession.  However Spurs, had enough about them to see the game out and take the all important three points.

Despite not having it our own way, I was pleased with our overall performance today. We did suffer in the first half with the wind against us but I thought Tasha and Rebecca dealt with it superbly, however the midfield need to make sure they get back when we are being put under pressure. Occasionally we keep getting outnumbered at the back and this was visible today with the goals we conceded. However, attacking wise I was pleased, and on another day we perhaps could have scored more. Tia deserved her goal today, I thought her work rate was excellent, as was Chloe’s. All I think we need to do sometimes is to take a chance by getting in and around the six yard box when crosses and shots are being taken. The midfielders did well particularly when in possession. Some of the movement and passing was excellent; particularly Izzy’s pass for the first goal and it is for her performance that I am awarding man of the match today. As well as some superb passing, the shot that hit the post and her assist, she also protected the back four superbly, particularly, when we were under pressure from those long balls.

So....the league takes a back seat for the next two weeks. Next Sunday we host the London Cup Final against Long Lane. For most of the girls it won’t be their first final, for a few of them it will be. Either way enjoy the day and the occasion. I know that there will be a few nerves flying about but to experience games like this is what we are all in football for.

Today we welcomed a tricky Biggleswade United side to Fred Knights knowing that only a win would do to keep up our lead in the title race.  

Much like last week, the game started at a frantic pace with both teams going close to opening the scoring. Emma Tammaro was quick off her line to deny one of the Biggleswade strikers when put through one on one. The Spurs back four were also fantastic early on. Rebecca and Natasha in particular snuffed out a number of Biggleswade attacks. 

Spurs were also having their chances at goal. Maddie, Skye and Chloe got in behind the Biggleswade defence and if it wasn’t for some smart keeping and defending Spurs may have broke the deadlock before they did. However, with 20 minutes gone they did. The impressive Poppy Bennett made a run through the opponents’ midfield and produced a splendid pass over the defence to put Maya Vio through on goal. The in-form striker was then composed enough to produce a chip over the keeper's head to give Spurs a 1-0 lead. 

This gave Spurs the confidence to finish the half strongly and they made it 2-0 when Xelia Mendes Jones scored after some excellent football helped put her through to slide the ball past the keeper.  

Going into the second half, the key was not to let Biggleswade back into the game in the first 10-15 minutes. Not to be...they came flying out of the traps and were rewarded with a goal when the Spurs defence were unable to clear their lines. The goal scorer produced a fine long range strike to put Biggleswade back in the game. 

This gave them confidence and for the next 10 minutes the Spurs defence were bombarded. This time they stood strong despite a few hairy moments. However, with Biggleswade pouring forward in their numbers in search of the equaliser, it did give Spurs the opportunity to hit them on the break. And they did....As a Biggleswade attack broke down, Christie Page brought the ball out of defence and played a smart ball to Maddie Sollof who was just beaten to the ball by the goalkeeper, however her clearance went straight to Izzie Rueben Crompton in the midfield who then produced a superb 35 yard shot to make it 3-1. 

Biggleswade continued to put up a fight and were perhaps a little bit unlucky when Spurs scored their fourth. Some superb play by the midfielders helped release Poppy Bennett down the right wing, as the cross came in it appeared that the otherwise impressive Biggleswade keeper would easily catch the ball only for it to slip through her hands and into the path of Xelia Mendes Jones to score her second of the game and round off a good performance. 

Today was further proof that some of the teams in the Home Counties league are improving and that can only be good news for league. However, despite some uncomfortable moments in the last few weeks our quality and strength in depth have helped us get through when we have been under pressure. 

As we say goodbye to January I can tell you we have a pretty exciting month ahead, and as I said last week it will have a big knock on effect come the end of the season. Next week we are back in league action at home to Omonia (06/01/11 12:30 k.o.). The week after (13.1.11) Fred Knights hosts the London Cup Final, which I’m hoping we can win for the second consecutive year.  I still don’t know who the opposition are yet, but I’m sure everyone is looking forward to it and will let you know as soon as I know !

On the 20^th we are away to Enfield Town U13’s as we begin our defence of the HCGFL Knockout Cup.  Finally, on the 27^th February we are away for our long awaited showdown with Denham United.

Today we welcomed an in form Hampstead team to Fred Knights for what promised to be a tough encounter.

The game started at a furious pace with both teams taking turns to attack the other. This meant that both keepers were brought into the action early, Emma Tammaro making a smart save before a Spurs counter attack gave Xelia Mendes Jones the chance to attack the space left behind by Hampstead. Her cross found Maya Vio whose shot went inches wide of the post.  

Unfortunately any other Spurs chances were few and far between due to the impressive Hampstead defence and a physical midfield that did allow Spurs to play. There were however some hairy moments down the other end when only some superb defending from Rebecca Vachos and Natasha Smits kept the Hampstead attackers at bay. 

Hampstead were playing some impressive football and were perhaps a bit unlucky when Spurs broke the deadlock against the run of play with five minutes to go to half time. Spurs finally found their range of passing when a neat one-two between Jacqui and Izzy helped create the space that was needed for Xelia to skip past their left back and put in a sublime low cross to Maya, who side footed the ball past the otherwise impressive Hampstead keeper to make it 1-0. 

The confidence was back and Spurs then started playing football the way they know they can. The ball found itself on the right wing again, a cross was put in only for it to hit a Hampstead defenders arm. The referee pointed to the spot to give the Spurs their first penalty of the season.  Maya stepped up to fire the ball into the bottom left hand corner.  A big five minutes meant that Spurs took a fortunate 2-0 lead into the break.

We all knew that the first fifteen minutes of the second half would be huge and an early goal would set the tone for the rest of the game.  We were correct in that assumption as Hampstead got one back just after the restart.  Some pretty football saw them split the Spurs centre backs to put their striker clean through, who fired her unstoppable shot into the top corner of the net. 

Hampstead were now fired up and for the next 10 minutes they had Spurs backs against the wall. However, as in the first half, Poppy, Christie, Rebecca and Rayanne (on for Natasha at Half time) were superb, as was Emma T in goal who had to get down low as the Hampstead attackers tried from long range.  

Spurs finally got going again when a counter attack lead to the ball being played out to the left to the impressive Maddie who beat one player before turning inside another before passing inside to Chloe who then put Tia through on goal, only for the keeper to deny her. Spurs were through on goal again when some good play down the left between Christie and Maddie then put Chloe through, only for the keeper to save well again. Another opportunity saw a Xelia shot ricochet off a defender and out for a corner. The returning Emma Lee put a sublime cross in which resulted in a scramble in the six yard box, ending in an incredible double save from the keeper.

The match ended like it began, more end to end action and this time Hampstead came close to producing something. However, more stubborn defensive work and then a comfortable save from Emma T ensured that Spurs took all three points. 

Well, it certainly wasn’t the best performance we have produced this season.  However, I was pleased that despite not playing well we came through against a team that put us under pressure for long periods during the game. I thought that Hampstead played some smart football at times and I thought some of our passing could have been better in the first half. Also, the defence were superb and that is why I have decided to give Rebecca Man of the Match today as she made a number of last ditch tackles. 

Next Sunday we are at home to Biggleswade. It is an important game as a win here should set us up nicely for February. With the London Cup Final on the horizon and a potential away match against Denham to come it will have a significant effect come the business end of the season.

After weeks of bad weather and the Christmas break, the Spurs Ladies Under-14s were back in action. As Denham slipped up last Sunday and were not in league action, today’s game gave us a brilliant opportunity to go six points clear at the top of the league.                                

Spurs began edgy, with Islington’s long balls testing our back four. However, Christie, Poppy, Rayanne and Rebecca dealt with them well and despite a few hairy moments we managed to get a foothold in the game when Xelia Mendes Jones created a number of opportunities for Maya and Tia, only for the Islington keeper to save well. 

With the wind with them the Spurs attack continued to put Islington under sustained pressure. Another great chance to open the scoring occurred when Poppy Bennett picked up the ball from about 25 yards out. Poppy jinked her way past three players before being brought down for a free kick just outside the area. Up stepped Izzy, whose superb curling free kick crashed off the underside of the crossbar and according to a number of the Spurs players, over the line ?  Unfortunately, with the number of players in front of him, the referee was not able to give it and it was cleared away ... it really was a fantastic strike. 

Spurs were further frustrated just before half time when it appeared they should have been awarded a penalty. Maya Vio going through on goal only for the Islington defender to pull her shirt. Despite this the decision was not given and both teams went in at half time with the score at 0-0.

Although, the first half was frustrating the beginning of the second half brought Spurs the goals they deserved. Maya opened the scoring when some neat passing put her through one on one.  This time the keeper had no chance as Maya fired her shot into the bottom right hand corner. 

Spurs then got the luck that was missing in the first half. Skye made a dazzling run down the left of midfield and passed in side to Maya. On this occasion the strikers touch let her down and as the Islington keeper made a clearance the ball ricochet off Skye’s back and flew into the back of the net to make it 2-0. 

Spurs were now on a rampage and Xelia made it 3-0 when her blinding pace got her in behind the Islington defence, firing her shot across the helpless keeper and into the net. Maya made it four five minutes with another neat finish before some excellent football and a fantastic through ball from Jackie gave Xelia the opportunity to score her second and finish the match. 

Despite some hairy and frustrating moments in the first half I thought that the overall performance was superb particularly in the second half.  

Our defence stood firm despite some dangerous long balls that caused us problems especially when the wind was against us. More pleasing for me was that they attempted to create space for the team by playing the ball along the back four- something that we have recently been working on in training. Christie and Poppy were once again in the action looking to get forward as much as possible while still having the stamina to get makes some superb tackles. As for our three centre backs, I really cannot praise them enough. Rebecca, Rayanne and Natasha have all improved massively from the beginning of the season and it really does give me a headache trying to decide which two of them should start each week. 

The midfield was also much improved in the second half. If I was to make one criticism it is that we must track back and help the defence when we do not have the ball! Apart from that I thought that Jackie and Izzy really pulled the strings in the centre of midfield, creating a number of goal scoring opportunities for the wingers and strikers with some superb through balls. Xelia added two more to her superb goal scoring record and was perhaps unlucky not to have got a few more. Maddie got in on the act in the second half and showed tremendous skill a number of times to open up the Islington defence and on another day would have been rewarded with a goal. I was also delighted to see Skye get on the score sheet as she was excellent when she came on. I think that she is one of those players that despite not always being mentioned as much as others she brings a great determination and with it a first class attitude to the game. 

Our strikers also had a good day today. I thought that Tia linked up well with our midfield and brought others into the game when possible. If it wasn’t for some good saves from the Islington keeper she would have also been on the score sheet today. Maya was also back in the team and amongst the goals. Although it seemed that she hadn’t played in a while it certainly didn’t look like it as two goals capped an all round superb performance.  

I also have to mention Emma T in goal. Although there were some periods in the second half when she had little to do, she made a cracking save in the last five minutes to preserve the clean sheet.  

So...with another three points in the bag our attention now turns to next Sunday’s home game against Hampstead. Their confidence will be high after beating Denham last week so we will have to be at our very best in order to maintain our lead at the top. We should also welcome back Emma Lee to the squad after a long injury lay off and with Chloe back among our attacking options we should have a full squad and an exciting game ahead. 

Last but not least today’s man of the match award goes to Izzy for a brilliant performance from start to finish.

The girls get off to a great start and all the action was down the Hampstead end and Emma Lee gets our first goal within five minutes.  Hampstead then got a free kick just outside the area which was well saved by stand in keeper Emma Tammaro, but going for the ball against three Hampstead players caused her to get kicked and go down for a short while, but she managed to get up and carry on.  Spurs then had some excellent play in front of the Hampstead goal but the game was 35 minutes in before our second goal came from a cross from Maddie Sollof for Maya Vio to hit home. 

In the second half, Spurs put the pressure on Hampstead and played some good football and the third goal came following a great run by Xelia Mendes Jones down the right.  The fourth was a lovely ball from Xelia to Maya who took on three defenders before it hit the back of the net.  Chloe Ahmet then made a great run down the left and outsmarted the Hampstead defence again to make it 5-0. 

Emma Tammaro was then knocked over by a Hampstead player when saving a cross that she was running in for and Tia Fogarty stepped up to take over between the sticks.  Shortly after we were once again up the Hampstead end and Xelia crossed for Maya to finish to make it six.  Unfortunately, in the last minute of the game Tia dived and tried hard to knock a ball out, before it crossed the line, but a goal was given to make the final score 1-6 to Spurs Ladies.

The first change paid off two minutes in when Poppy Bennett playing right midfield made a run and crossed the ball nicely which both Chloe Ahmet and Maya Vio ran towards to finish but the goal was given to Chloe.  The next time Poppy made a run she popped it in the back of the net herself making it 2-0.   Although there were a few more chances the Islington keeper managed to keep them clear of goal until Spurs made a substitution and brought on Tia Fogarty in the middle, who passed to Maya who did her usual trick on the goalie to make it three.  Isabella Rueben-Crompton shot a perfect corner but again it was saved by the goalie.  Spurs continued to pass the ball around the pitch with Jacqueline McLucas giving it everything in midfield until Maya sent it wide to Poppy who crossed it back to Maya who tapped it to Tia to give her a well deserved first goal of the day.  Just before the half time whistle Spurs made it five with a great cross from Skye Coleing-Lasley from the left wing which once again Maya was on the end of.  With excellent defending by Natasha Smits, Rebecca Vachos and Rayanne John Baptiste Bastien Islington were unable to score and Emma Tammaro kept a clean sheet. 

The second half was just as exciting with the first of the half coming after a great run from Natasha to beat their attacker, who looked up and passed out wide to Poppy on the right, who passed back into Maya, who made it her hat trick.  Unfortunately Spurs guard went down for just a brief moment and Islington managed to pop one passed Kitty Chapman. 

Spurs did not falter and when Maya was pushed to the ground, Isabella was up for the free kick just outside the area and although the shouts of ‘treat it like a corner’ were bellowed, Isabella confused everyone, especially the Islington keeper and hit it along the ground and it rolled in the bottom right hand corner to make it 7-0 for Spurs.   Isabella then took a corner and hit it as she usually does, neatly into Tia who made it her second and Spurs' number eight.  Maddie Sollof came back on after a rest to play in her usual spot on the wing, but after a couple of near misses she ran with determination towards the keeper, who managed yet again to save her shot, but Maya was on hand to catch the deflection and the final score was 1-9 to Spurs Ladies.

Spurs Ladies Under-14s turned up today for the first time away at Biggleswade, all looking the part finally wearing their new white kit.  

Although the pitch was smaller than we were used to, we got off to a good start and ten minutes in Chloe Ahmet’s ball rebounded off the Biggleswade keeper and rolled in the back of the net, but as they say they all count.  Half way through the first half unfortunately Rebecca Vachos accidentally hand-balled in the box and Biggleswade drew 1-1 with the penalty given.  Spurs made some substitutions, but although our midfielders were passing balls through to the strikers, Biggleswade’s goal was well defended.  In the final minute of the half, Biggleswade got a corner and scored from a deflection from one of the Spurs players making it 2-1 to them. 

The second half saw the girls still struggling with the smallness of the pitch and although defender Rebecca made up for her earlier mistake on numerous occasions, without their usual space, Spurs Ladies struggled to liven up the game. 

Emma Lee crossed some excellent corners, but we could not finish them.  Finally, Poppy Bennett, who was playing at the back, pushed up yet again and this time her cross was just right for Maya Vio to head in for the equaliser.  We were then blessed with another great cross this time from the left from Tia Fogarty and Maya scored her second of the day.  This was closely followed from another great pass from Poppy at the back to Maya, who ran and tricked the goalie to score her hat trick.  Poppy’s next cross was to Xelia Mendes Jones, who shot the ball over the goalie's head and into the back of the net to make it 2-5 to Spurs. 

With only minutes to go, Biggleswade managed to get through the Spurs defence and slipped the ball past Emma Tammaro, who had come out, but could not get back to defend her goal line. 

Thanks to Rebecca’s Dad for running the line.

We were slow to start and Denham took advantage and got a goal five minutes in.  This did not deter our girls, who fought back and a great cross from Poppy Bennett to Maya Vio’s head unfortunately missed, but gave them the confidence to play their game and not panic. 

Ten minutes into the game and again Denham made a run and scored their second over Kitty Chapman’s head.  This woke our girls up and they started to play some good football which eventually paid off with an excellent cross from Maddie Sollof, over the goalie's head, but to Xelia Mendes-Jones’ feet and in the bottom corner.  

Spurs then started to control the game.  Poppy Bennett, Jacqueline McLucas and Xelia Mendes-Jones were very strong down the right, with Xelia hitting one over the cross bar and even Poppy taking a shot, but it was not meant to be and we went into a half time rest at 1-2. 

The second half saw some substitutions, but the girls settled in well and it wasn’t long with Chloe Ahmet’s persistence up the left before Skye Coleing-Lasley passed to Xelia, who got the very much needed and well deserved equaliser. 

The girls managed to keep Denham away from the goal with captain Christie Page and Poppy Bennett both clearing off the line and some saves from goalkeeper Kitty kept the visitors out.  Tottenham had lots more chances, but could not find the back of the net until Maya made her run down the middle, then passed to Xelia on the right who put us 3-2 in the lead. 

We managed to hold Denham off with some excellent ball control and passing until near the end of the game, when they managed another of their runs down the left and with tired legs, we could not catch them and it went straight in to make the final score 3-3. 

Thanks to Tony Tammaro for running the line.

Spurs Ladies Under-14s' first away game of the season was against Omonia Youth, but not being at Fredrick Knights did not deter them. 

The first goal came ten minutes in with good work from Poppy Bennett, who passed to Emma Lee and finally to Maya Vio to finish. Five minutes later Maddie Sollof made a run down the left to make it two.  The third was a great goal, placed in the top corner, but was an own goal from Omonia and not from a Spurs player.  Emma Lee took a corner on the left and scored the fourth and to finish off the half, Xelia Mendes-Jones made a run down the right, cut in and scored to make it 5-0. 

The second half was just as exciting with Xelia making a run but this time down the middle of the field and scoring the sixth.  Tia was back where she belonged, scoring goals for fun, getting a hat trick, with the first in the top corner, the next off a great pass from Emma Tammaro and as the rain got heaver, the ninth went in.  Maddie got the tenth and then Tia made it her fourth.  Last, but not least, the sky’s the limit, a first for Skye Coleing-Lasley making it 12 for Spurs Ladies.

Newly appointed this season, captain Christie Page never gave up battling throughout the game and the whole team, old and new, showed they had what it takes. 

The first half was end to end with both teams taking time to settle down.  We were 20 minutes in before our first real chance from Maya Vio came along, which unfortunately was well saved by the Hampstead goalie.  This was followed by Xelia Mendes-Jones going just wide of goal and it was not until two minutes before the end of the half that the cross came in for Mia to touch home and give Spurs Ladies a 1-0 lead. 

This gave Spurs a boost to start the second half, but, although on the odd occasion that Hampstead broke, our defence were there to clear it, once even off the line, we could not get that vital second goal.  The girls continued to battle on against the rain as well as the opposition and 20 minutes into the half, Maddie Sollof turned on the edge of the area and shot the ball home to make it 2-0 to Spurs Ladies and secure our first win. 

Everyone is looking forward to a promising but hopefully drier season.

Thank you to Rayanne’s younger brother who ran the line.

After a long wait the Under 14’s began their league season with a highly anticipated match against Hampstead at Fred Knight’s on a wet Sunday afternoon. The game promised much as the last match between the two sides saw Hampstead effectively end Spurs title hopes last season.  

The first fifteen minutes saw a spirited Hampstead side put the Spurs defence under pressure. Sustained periods of possession saw Hampstead put together several nice passes but they were unable to unlock the stubborn Spurs Back four of Jacqui, Rebecca, Tasha and Christie.  

Slowly but surely Spurs began to come into the game. Maddie and Skye’s pace caused the Hampstead full backs trouble, putting in a couple of crosses only for the Hampstead keeper to collect well. Another neat Spurs move saw Izzie shoot wide from long range before the Spurs strikers finally broke through the Hampstead defence only for Tia to miss the target by inches. 

With twenty five minutes gone Xelia was introduced into the fray, coming on for Skye. Xelia took up position the right of midfield with Maddie moving out to left. The impact was instant with Xelia putting in several excellent crosses, one narrowly missing Maya and Tia’s head before the Hampstead defence cleared.  However, the next one was not so unlucky. Xelia collected a smart pass around 25 yards before beating two Hampstead players and whipping in a low cross towards the front post. This found Maya’s run who got in front of her marker to fire her shot in off the post and into the net.  

The rest of the half saw some excellent defending from both sides and despite our best efforts were unable to add to the score.  

The aim after half time was to go out and kill the game as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the Hampstead midfield and defence were displaying the kind of organisation that one of Jose Mourinho’s teams would be proud of. However, the more the half wore on the more we began to impose ourselves. Xelia, Emma Lee and Chloe all went close with the Hampstead keeper making decent saves. It seemed that the second killer goal was coming but Hampstead gave us the scare of our lives before it did.  

Hampstead managed to clear a corner before hitting Spurs on the break. A superb through ball split our defence in half, leaving their striker one on one with the rushing Keeper. Kitty seemed to do just enough to put off the strikers shot, which skewed wide of the goal but not out of play. This gave the Spurs defence just enough time to recover before Christie cleared. Phew! 

A scintillating period of play ended when Spurs finally got the goal we were chasing.

After receiving a pass on the edge of the area Maddie breezed past a Hampstead defender and hit a superb half volley into the corner of the Hampstead net to make it 2-0. The second goal relaxed Spurs and could have scored another had we not tried walking the ball into the net rather than taking a shot!  

As the game drew to a close the team kept looking for goals despite my suggestion to hold the ball in the corner to run the clock down! Nonetheless it was a good performance against a well organised Hampstead team. The most pleasing aspect was the clean sheet which will fill our keeper and defenders with confidence going into future games. If I am being really picky, I thought that we could have been a bit more clinical in front of goal but all in all it was an excellent start to the league season.  

Man of the match is a hard one as there were number good performances, particularly from the defenders, but we have awarded it to Maddie, who capped off a superb performance with brilliant goal.  

Finally, I am aware that Emma T and Rayanne did not get a lot of time on the pitch today and will aim to give them more minutes next week.
