Crystal Palace Ladies U15 3
Tottenham Hotspur Ladies U15 Whites 3
Friendly
Both Spurs and Palace started the game with great energy, but it was Spurs who took an early lead when Stephanie Smith played a neat one-two before sending Chloe Gunn racing into space and firing a confident shot across the keeper found the net.
 
This was soon followed by number two when Andrea Edobor chased a ball played in behind the defence and struck a sweet shot across into the bottom right.  Palace pulled one back from a free kick just before the break after a foul by debutant Beth Brown-Hunter-Scott.
 
The second half proved a tiring one for the players with many lacking match fitness and sharpness.  A combination of this plus player rotation proved costly with Palace recovering effectively to equalise and eventually take the lead.
 
Spurs eventually equalised when space opened up for Chloe Gunn to take advantage with a strike beyond the keeper.
 
There were many positives to take from the game, with many players playing in 'alien' positions.  Zoë Jackson proved a real threat down the right flank and Jodie Fenn did well to provide the link between midfield and the front line.  Lindsey Cockle did particularly well in her defensive role and this will ultimately add to her game.  In the second half, Paige Barnard operated in a midfield role that she looked comfortable in and Andrea Edobor did an excellent job at left back to see out a very good game for her.

A warm-up match for the new season saw Spurs Under-15 Whites take on their Under-14 counterparts and the game saw some useful positional changes, but ended in a 2-2 draw with Andrea Edobor and Jodie Fenn scoring the goals for the Under-15s.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies U15 Whites 1
Home Counties Girl's Football League  - Under-15 Division 1
There were many positives to take from this performance and I feel that we are beginning to get back on the right path.

It was good to see Nicola Davey back, after so much time out through injury and she gave a good solid performance between the sticks in the first half.  Paige Barnard was deployed to midfield and her experience gave stability and balance to the midfield and Spurs played some decent football in patches.

Beth Brown Hunter Scott and Jodie Fenn put in a lot of effort up front and did reasonably well keeping the Harvesters defence on their toes and they were eventually replaced by Tarn Harris and Lindsey Cockle, with the former using her body strength well and the latter exploiting the space.  Lindsey showed her range of skills to cause concern at the heart of the Harvesters defence and soon got her reward when she cleverly met the ball and instantly passed it into the net.

Andrea had a goal disallowed for offside that appeared to be a poor decision by the referee, but things evened up when Harvesters should have had a penalty for a foul within the Spurs area.

Special praise to Rhiannon Kelly, who caused lots of problems for Harvesters with her strength and pace and was the provider on numerous occasions, many of which should have been converted.  Spurs were left cursing those missed chances when they conceded five minutes before the end of the game, when a deflected shot rolled agonizingly across Sian Osmond and into the corner of the net.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies U15 Whites 3
Home Counties Girl's Football League  - Under-15 Division
Cambridge City Under 15s continue to provide quality opposition for us, the games between us always seem to be tense and exciting and this was no exception.

Injuries forced Spurs to make changes and both Leasha Ngotho and Tessa Osborne performed admirably and professionally as centre halves in the second half, where we played with no recognised central defenders. This was a good test for them and they both had to work hard to try to curb a second half onslaught by the home side.

Spurs started the game well with Rhiannon Kelly in particular in splendid form, scoring well from outside the area with a lob and setting up the second with a cute through ball to Leasha who beat the keeper with a drive from an angle.

With Spurs enjoying a period of domination they were unfortunate to concede five minutes before half time when the referee made a controversial decision and awarded a penalty for an apparent push.  Sian Osmond made a great effort to save, but the penalty was struck well and Spurs went into the break 2-1 up.

With Zoë Jackson injured, Spurs reshuffled, but it was Cambridge who dominated the second half and took their chances and eventually the match.

Home Counties Girl's Football League  - Under-15 Division
Luton started this HCGFL match brightly and with the wind behind them Spurs were encamped in their own half for long periods conceding once when a shot from the right was driven across keeper Sian Osmond.  Earlier Sian had done well to hold a fierce shot low in the six yard area.

Spurs drew level before the break when Tarn Harris responded quickly after the Luton keeper failed to hold the ball and despatched the ball into the net.

In the second half the home team were forced to make changes through injuries but immediately responded when Andrea Edobor caught the keeper out with an audacious lob from 35 yards to give Spurs the lead.

However Luton responded well and Spurs had a poor five minute spell when they conceded two cheap goals to give the away team the victory.

This Under-15 Whites match produced patches of good football from the home team, but they were aided by a Hampstead team team that was one player short of a starting eleven.  It helped Spurs get back to winning ways after two unfortunate defeats.

Hampstead defended well from the start and it took Spurs a while to break them down, with the goal eventually coming late in the first half.  It was an unfortunate one with the Hampstead keeper letting a weak shot from Beth Hunter Brown Scott slip through her legs to allow the Tottenham striker to claim her first for the season.

After the break Spurs added a second when Andrea Edobor rounded off a period of dominance with a fierce drive from eight yards that stretched the net to it's full capacity.

Spurs settled and put together some decent build up play from the back, mixed with some long ball from the keeper, as they dominated the final stages.

Beth added her second when she struck from close range with her right foot and then immediately responded to the goalkeeper save by striking with her left to send Spurs three up.

Leasha Ngotho rounded off a good performance by firing home from close range after a good delivery from Andrea to seal a 4-0 victory for Spurs.

A really early kick off saw the two teams, with the Blues playing in white and the Whites playing in blue, ending with a 6-1 win to the A squad in this HCGFL meeting at the White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre.

Both teams started brightly, but the Whites soon got into their stride and went into an early two-nil lead when Lindsey Cockle lifted the ball over the keeper to score the first, then Chloe Gunn hit a sublime lob over the advancing keeper for number two.

The Blues best chance of the half came from a free kick by Eleanda Taldianou, but Sian Osmond stood firm and collected at arms length when the ball looked destined for the net.

The Whites made it three when Rhiannon broke on the right and shot at the keeper, who spilled the ball to Lindsey, who collected her second.

Soon after the break Chloe added her second when she and three others beat a flat back four and raced clear with just the keeper to beat and she promptly despatched the ball into the net.  Lindsey claimed her hat-trick when Rhiannon Kelly's shot was parried into her path and she made no mistake from close range.

Rhiannon got a well deserved goal by breaking on the right and lofting the keeper and almost had a second when her shot from the same angle hit the post and keeper collected.

The Blues claimed a goal courtesy of an Eleanda penalty late on, although the tackle by Lucky Di Biasio looked to be timed to perfection and she should be praised for that.

For the Whites special praise goes to Zoë Jackson, as she attempted to put the defensive blueprint into play, and for the Blues special praise to their stand in keeper who made several good saves to keep the deficit down.

A good controlled performance on a bitterly cold afternoon saw Spurs enjoy long periods of possession that eventually earned them a 5-1 win. 

Goals came courtesy of Beth Brown Hunter Scott (2), Jodie Fenn, Lindsey Cockle and Paige Barnard.

A good win under our belts, but even more pleasing was the style in which we played, which was at times very attractive to watch.

Injuries have certainly hindered the Under-15 Whites this season, but it is reassuring that in this squad we have strength in depth and players are making the most of opportunities to impress.

Last week we played, in my opinion, our best football in my time as manager and we continued it this week in the first half against a strong Hitchin team.  The team went 1-0 up before the interval and playing into the sun in the second half scored two late goals to seal a victory.

Two of our goals were created by slick passing moves that ended with positive strikes from our in-form striker Beth Brown Hunter Scott and sandwiched between was a scrambled goal from Chloe Gunn.

Worthy of a big mention is Sian Osmond who pulled off three fantastic saves, one of which was worthy of headline status.

Home Counties Girl's Football League  - Under-15 Division 1
A depleted Enfield team came out of the traps early and aided by a strong wind put the Spurs Ladies Under-15 Whites defence under immediate pressure. Spurs took a little time to adjust to the conditions but gradually they started to make their number advantage count, scoring three first half goals, before some slack defending allowed Enfield to pull one back.

The second half was a little disappointing, with Spurs failing to get any early rhythm going and Enfield defending well as a team.  Aimee Rose was a second half substitute and made a difference to the midfield with Spurs enjoying their best spell of possession in the game.

The goals were scored by Rhiannon Kelly (2) Chloe Gunn (2) Beth Brown Hunter Scott (2) and Tarn Harris (1).

Spurs Under-15 Whites faced Long Lane in the quarter final of the London FA Youth Cup without either of their recognised goalkeepers and a number of other players unavailable.

In the end, the girls put in an excellent effort  and were extremely unlucky not to progress into the next round, losing out to the only goal of the game.

Our thanks go to Ben for refereeing a difficult game at short notice.
