Monday 29th June - Our club is "delighted to announce" that we have been accepted into the FA Cup and FA Vase for the upcoming season, despite the fact that all Step Five clubs with the facilities and who have applied will always be accepted! The draws will be announced by the FA in the next fortnight and we will, as usual, have the full details here. Wednesday 23rd June - Our club has taken nearly three weeks to advise that the upcoming Leatherhead friendly on 4th July is behind closed doors due to limited parking at the venue, which is a ridiculous excuse, seeing as both sets of fans are local and the train station is a ten minute walk away. The few people currently running our club still don't understand supporters and will lose out on hundreds of pounds as a good attendance and revenue, even from a bucket collection, would surely have been assured due to the profile and large support of our local opponents. Interestingly, Banstead Athletic are currently advising a pre-season friendly at the same venue on the same day, but with a 12.30pm kick off which is open to attend. Saturday 20th June - The League Cup draw was made at the recent Combined Counties League AGM and we have been draws away at Ardley United in the First Round with the winners travelling to Eversley & California in the last 32. We have never met Ardley before and they reached the playoffs last season in the North Division before losing out on penalties to Broadfields United. The full draw is available below in the cup section. Friday 12th June - A second Committee Member in a month has now stood down as Darren Talbot announced this at the club AGM this evening, despite only recently having been appointed as its Operations Director. As it stands, this leaves the Club Committee down to five people. Talbot was co-opted onto the Committee on 28th December 2024. Friday 12th June - We now have a further pre-season friendly against Guildford City over on the 3g surface at Kings College, Guildford. The match will take place on 21st July which is a Tuesday evening, for those who are uncertain. Sunday 7th June - Leatherhead FC have announced that they are to play us in a pre-season friendly on Saturday 4th July at 3pm at the Priest Hill 3g, which was formerly the Glyn Old Boys ground and is now used by Epsom and Ewell Colts FC. This will be only the third ever match played in the Borough since we left in 1993, yet the club has designated it as "behind closed doors"!! Bedfont Sports have also advised that we will be playing them in what is now becoming a traditional meeting at the Bedfont Sports Club on Saturday 18th July at 12.30pm. Our club has also advised one other friendly against Spelthorne Sports at Bedfont Sports Club on 11th July. It's not yet been advised why the list of friendlies is so small. Saturday 30th May - Our club has advised that Peter O'Donovan has stepped down from the Committee and given him a glowing tribute. Interestingly, I do not see any mentions for other Committee members that have left the club in recent years, like Peter English, Carl Boorer and Rob Hendry, none of whom were ever confirmed as leaving, which ought to have been advised publicly to all members and supporters, in case any of them had wanted to stand for any of the vacant positions. O'Donovan was co-opted onto the Committee on 26th August 2023. For all the older club news going all the way back to 2013 just click on the previous articles button and select the latest news option.
