Spurs Ladies’ dreams came true as they saved their greatest-ever achievement for a night of glory at White Hart Lane last week.
The team dominated from start to finish to beat West Ham United Ladies 4-0 and secure the FA Women’s Premier League South title with three matches still to play.
Goals from Josie Green, Wendy Martin, Nikita Whinnett and Bianca Baptiste stretched their record to 16 wins and a draw in 17 matches, scoring 49 goals and only conceding six.
It was the perfect way to secure the title and a crowd of over 2,000 stayed to watch skipper Jenna Schillaci lift the trophy on the hallowed turf.
Spurs now face a play-off against FAWPL Northern champions Blackburn Rovers for a place in Women’s Super League 2.
Manager Karen Hills said: “What an achievement! To come to White Hart Lane, win 4-0 and clinch the title, it doesn’t get better than that.
“It’s taken a long time to get here, a lot of hard work from a lot of people. Full credit to all the players, the staff and thanks to the club for all their support.
“West Ham have improved a lot over recent weeks but we were patient and did a professional job. The first goal from Josie was important and the second from Wendy at the start of the second half settled everyone down.
