Spurs Ladies duo up for monthly award

Rianna Dean and Sarah Wiltshire are in the running for the FA Women’s Championship Player of the Month award for January.

The Spurs Ladies strikers have enjoyed a fine month in front of goal, helping Karen Hills’ side secure three wins out of three and open up a four-point lead at the top of the Championship standings.

Rianna scored in every game in January as Spurs won 2-1 at Sheffield United, beat Lewes 3-0 at home and then secured a sensational last-minute win at Millwall Lionesses by the odd goal in five. Rianna was the player who bagged the stoppage-time winner.

Fellow forward Sarah contributed two goals – one against Sheffield United and one against Millwall.

Zoe Ness of Durham Women and Millwall’s Evie Clarke make up the rest of the shortlist for the award, with a public vote helping to decide the winner.

Votes can be cast on Twitter (@FAWC_) until 5pm on Saturday (2 February).

Your #FAWC POTM nominees for January!
