| 22/06/2008 - SUMMER TOURNAMENT 2008 |
|
Enfield Town Ladies hosted their annual 5 aside tournament in conjunction with Enfield Council’s Sport Development team over the weekend on Enfield Playing Fields in the shadow of The Queen Elizabeth II stadium. The stadium facilities were used by all the teams throughout the day and hopefully will continue to be available in years to come. The Tournament was well run by Katrina Moore, Claire Gooch and the rest of their team of helpers and Chris Turner did his usual excellent job organising his team of officials, thanks to all plus the Council.
Almost seventy teams split into 11 groups competed in the senior event on Sunday on some very well prepared pitch’s and the group winners were joined in the knock out stage by the five teams with the best record and the teams with the next 8 best records went into the supplementary plate competition.
The Plate Competition was the first to reach a conclusion with Dream Killers and Queens meeting in the final, at the end of a keenly contested match it was Dream Killers who emerged victorious with a goal in each half for a 2-0 result.
The main competition knock out stages started with 4 Enfield Town sides involved but none of them managed to progress through to the quarter finals. The final finished up with our local rivals Barnet 'B' taking on Bristol and an entertaining final was settled by the only goal of the game, just before half time by Barnet 'B' after Bristol had wasted a host of chances.
Both sides had chances in the second half but Barnet 'B' held to on to become winners of The Joan O'Mailey Memorial Cup named after our much loved and feared raffle ticket seller at past events, who we lost this year. |

| 18/06/2007 - SUMMER TOURNAMENT SUCCESS |
Enfield Town Ladies hosted their 9th Annual 5 A-side tournament and it proved to be the biggest and possibly one of the best ever over the weekend of 16th/17th June. Enfield Town enjoyed almost total domination in the junior event with Woking and Bristol Academy emerging from the senior event with the honours. The whole two days were well organised by the committee and officiated to a high standard by Mr Chris Turner and his team of referees.
A thrilling senior event saw three of the hosts teams reach the quarter finals but it was Footie Chicks and Bristol Academy who reached the final. Footie Chicks raced into a two goal lead against Bristol who had only conceded two other goals all day, but they were taken to extra time when Bristol levelled the scores with the very last kick of the game. Corinne Yorston struck the decisive winner during the first period of extra time but both keepers pulled off a string of saves as both teams pilled on the pressure.
Woking sealed their win in the supplementary plate competition with a 3-0 victory over Northwood in the final.
The junior event the previous day saw Garston win the under 9's competition, Ridgeway Rovers win the Under 13's and Ditton do the same in the under 15's event, but Enfield Town Ladies won all the age groups in between. All teams showed great commitment to continue to play through some very poor weather conditions.
RESULTS:
Under 9's - Garston
Under 10's - Enfield Town
Under 11's - Enfield Town
Under 12's - Enfield Town
Under 13's - Ridgeway Rovers
Under 14's - Enfield Town
Under 15's - Ditton
Ladies Cup - Bristol Academy
Ladies Plate - Woking

| 03/06/2007 - SENIOR PRESENTATION |
Enfield Town Ladies hosted an enjoyable and successful presentation evening on Saturday as they celebrated a season of mixed but mainly good fortunes. After Stacy Russell as chair of the club had done the warm up act and spoken about the season for the three senior section sides and then presented all the committee members with their momento of another year helping to run the club it was time for the managers to take centre stage.
First up was Tegan Mann for the third team and she spoke about the way that the team’s season had been a vast improvement on the previous one when they had lost every game but this time they had only been beaten 3 times in total. From thanking Katrina Moore
for captaining the side and the many players who also played their part and Pete Skinner for his help in coaching them to the various other helpers and supporters that had made it an enjoyable experience. The awards were next and started with Heidi Franks
being named Club Girl, Emily Jones and Sam Smith jointly receiving the achievement award, Keeper Claire March getting the nod from her team mates and also the managers as player of the season.
Next was Peter Gooch for the reserve team and he said that even though the lack of teams in their league had been a frustration by causing the season to be interrupted with long breaks there was some
satisfaction it that a few of his younger players had pushed their way through to the fringes of the first team with a couple becoming regulars towards the end. The awards then went to Lorraine Sparrow as club girl for always being at training and driving the mini-bus
to away games, Yvette Lynch received the Achievement award and the player of the year awards went to Sarah Hammond from the players and Keeper Sian Binks from the manager.
Last up was John Abbott from the first team and he spoke about the way that the team had turned around a bad start to the season and survived a relegation scare by going on a very impressive late season run that eventually saw the team finish comfortably in mid-table. The awards were given to Cally Browne as Club Girl, Beth Demery for Achievement after the way that she became a vital part of the defence so quickly after joining the club and the player of the season awards went to top scorer Holly Wilson from the players and to Kelly Townshend from the manager for holding the team together through some difficult times. Cally Browne and Kelly Townshend were also
presented with the supporters man of the match award jointly with Beth Lovell for getting three nominations each during the season.
After a meeting of all three managers the overall club girl award was given to the third teams Heidi Franks.

| 29/11/2006 - 1ST TEAM AWARD WINNERS |
CONGRATULATIONS!
Enfield Town Ladies FC celebrated on Wednesday when they were presented with their prize for picking up the FA Women's Cup sponsored by E.ON Team of the Round award.
The South East Combination side were nominated for their defeat of Luton Town in the Second Round of the FA Women's Cup on 12 November.
Following an initial 1-1 draw when Cally Browne scored a last minute penalty, Enfield Town emerged as the stronger side during extra time as Laura Burns and Kelly Townshend scored and held on despite having only ten players at the end. Their 3-1 away win sees them meeting Langford in the Third Round Proper this weekend.
Their success comes hot on the heels of also being awarded the FA Charter Standard Award earlier this year. Both the senior section and the youth section obtained the award individually, enabling both groups to maintain their status within the sport and provide a structure of excellence throughout the club.
Club Chairwoman, Stacy Russell says: "The team is going from strength to strength and we've had a terrific year so far, despite our league form not being too hot! It was great to tell the girls that they had won the award, they were so chuffed and it really meant a lot to them. We're just focusing on the Third Round now."
The team will win a solid silver salver, £250 of football kit for the team, £250 of kit for a local school and tickets for the final in May.
This Sundays match at home to Langford kicks off at 2pm
