Crowborough Athletic 1–4 Tottenham Hotspur on 9 March 2008

A good start by Spurs Ladies was blunted by a home goal by Crowborough, although the side battled back to earn a 4-1 win.

For ten minutes, Spurs looked the better side, but a half-cleared corner was rifled back to give Crowborough the lead. However, the rest of the first half was Tottenham’s and Jessie Richards restored parity when she knocked home Rosi Webb’s cross which the keeper fumbled.

As the game neared half-time, Spurs went on the attack and Kat Clifton finished past the keeper to give Tottenham the lead after good work by Webb, Clarke and Singh on the wing. Not content with a one goal lead, the team went into the interval 3-1 ahead when Clifton’s run and pass allowed Webb to extend the advantage.

The second half got bogged down on a muddy pitch as the conditions deteriorated, but there was still the opportunity to make it 4-1, with Clifton once more the provider for Richards to seal another confident win for the Ladies.

Squad : - Lacey Amato, Dom Clarke, Kelly Herrett (c), Athena Yennaris, Jenny Curtis (Kerry Daniells) , Claire Singh, Kat Clifton (Gill Blackmore), Mel Berry, Hannah Charman, Jessie Richards, Rosi Webb.
