Further first
and second team records listed in THE BOOK

Prog in 35/36
refers to Dick Wilson playing in all 44 games in this season. However, there
were 45

played, and
there is one game record missing (Streatham LCSF) so it looks like only 44
line ups listed.

Further
evidence that this WAS the official club record book.

AGM Details
unknown - not in Herald or Advertiser

Eton Manor
played at "The Wilderness", in Temple Mills (Ruckholt Road, Leyton
says handbook) in 1933/34. Now covered by part of the

2012 Olympic
Park. However, for 1934/35 they are advised as playing at their ground in
Homerton. Was this the same or a different one?

22/6/34
reported that Epsom Town have failed to gain admittance to the Athenian
League. Wealdstone (28) and

Bromley (22),
Finchley (13), and Epsom (less, but unknown how many). Finchley had been
recommended, but

Bromley got
the nod after a good speech by their Secretary.

15/8/34 Trial
match at Epsom on Wednesday evening. 4 of last season's squad played, Bob
Gates, George

Mackesy, Tommy
Winship, and Tommy Dunne. New players were AJ Hunt (Carshalton Ath), FS
Clarke (wrongly listed as FW)

(Mill Green
Rovers), Ward (Colliers Wood), J Calvert (North of England), A Gray
(Kingstonian), and Cowan

(Aylesbury).
Only Cowan ever played for the first team.

New trainer is
Mr Lipsham, brother of the Sheffield United and International player.

Aug 34 future
player HW Colwell is trialling at Kingstonian

18/8/34 2nd
trial of season saw Mackesy at the trial but with a bandage on his arm,
protecting it after his break

at the end of
last season when he fell from a van. He still played well. New players, J
Webb (Redhill) (then a pro

living in
Dorking), and is still a permit player, Baines (Washington Colliery), and GR
Jones (North) did well too.

Jones pulled a
muscle and didn't return for 2nd half, although he would play for reserves
later in the season. Stripes

v Reds in the
trial. Cowan is listed as coming from Biggleswade in Herald. F Clarke did
well again as did Maurice

Gill, the
younger brother of Bobby. A very hot day. A young Londoner Wray did well in
goal, while CF Williams

wasn't as
good, and unlikely to do as well as his brother who was a professional and
ex-Sutton. Also at trial is "a

youth of great
promise" in Gordon Brogdale. Only 15. Others mentioned are Ward
(Colliers Wood) and Brewis from

Carshalton
Ath, while a local lad Hatton joined the game in the second half. A better
trial than Wednesday's said

Herald, which
saw a Jack Forster pensave from Jimmy Jones. Tommy Dunne was also very
lively.

RED: Wray, Bob
Gates, Bobby Gill, Tot Winship, George Mackesy, Dick Wilson, M Wiggins, Tommy
Dunne,

CF Williams,
Jimmy Jones, Ward. STRIPES: Jack Forster, J Webb, Baines, Terry Birch, G
Jones, (Hatton),

Maurice Gill,
Hardy, Gordon Brogdale, F Clarke, Cowan, H Husband

Jimmy jones,
SE Jones and GR Jones are all members of the same family.

22/8/34 3rd
trial match at Epsom after which there was a wedding presentation for Jimmy
Jones. He received

a canteen of
cutlery, and his wife received a season ticket. No more new players have
signed on.

REDS: Harry
Westlake (gk), Bob Gates, Bobby Gill, Winship, Terry Birch, Wilson, Hardy,
Levison, Reg Marlow,

Hall, Husband.
STRIPES: Forster, Brewis, Leverington, M.Gill, H Ashley, Horton, Ernest
Flight, Brogdale, Thurston,

Geoff Collins,
Ward. Collins is ex-Epsom schools and did well. Future regular player. Hall
was a friend of Winship,

while Horton
is a friend of Ernie Sperring. Thurston is ex-Isthmian, and Leverington is a
junior, and future post war

player.

Aug 34 Sutton
Midweek Hospital Cup first round draw (26 entries) Epsom Weds v Tolworth
Weds. Before 26/9/34.

Aug 34 former
player R.Earl now at Streatham. Is brother of the West Ham full back

25/8/34 Only
two changes from last year. Leslie Graves has gone to Enfield, whilst Leslie
Marlow has gone to

Barking Town.
C.Pratt (Sutton) and EH Flight (reserves) take their place. Future player FD
Rawkins makes his

debut for PO
Engineers after joining from last year's Champions Park Royal. 2nd half Bobby
Gill injured leg

just above the
knee, just before HT. 10 men It also transpired that Tommy Winship had
cracked a rib.

Herald says it
was "overwarm" for football, and PO Engineers deserved to win.
Spectators were "lolling on the bank"

and did not
often sit up and take notice!

26/8/34 Jimmy
Jones gets married this day.

Sept 34 Ewell
paper mentions the possibility of Stoneleigh Football, and says that Epsom
Council have allocated

a pitch at
West Street, Ewell (presume Gibraltar Rec) for them if interest is
sufficient. Shortly afterwards,

Stoneleigh
Park F.C. are formed with Secretary: FC Sleight of 56 Stoneleigh Avenue,
Worcester Park. Club set up

with Junior
and Adult section. Juniors lost 8-6 in first game v Malden Boys at Shannon
Corner Ground, Kingston

By Pass Road,
while adults lost 6-0 at Cheam Rec to Worcester Park Methodists. The club
would last for a year or

two before the
Secretary would resign in 1936. At the same time as they appear to fold,
Ewell and Stoneleigh

form, so it is
possible that this was a forerunner of that club. Junior Sec: F Hollands 10
Bridgewood Road, W Pk.

Aug 34 During
Bank Holiday, Chairman Charles Pettett reached the semi finals of the Herne
Bay open bowls

tournament. He
was a member of the Epsom Bowling club. 102 were in this event which lasted
three days. He lost

to the eventual winner.

1/9/34 E
Hannam (Park Royal and Kingstonian) makes his debut. Hugh Pratt has returned
to Sutton so Reg Marlow

will play
outside left. Epsom were well on top throughout and won easily at Carshalton
Athletic.

1/9/34 future
player Jackie Pullen scores six goals for Tooting & Mitcham in FA Cup v
Wellington Works. W 10-3.

Former player
Leslie Graves also scores six this day for Park Royal v Windsor - W7-1 also
in FA Cup.

5/9/34 "A
thrilling game" at Ewell. Epsom were 3-1 up on Park Royal, but they
fought back to make it 3-3 after 80

minutes,
before a late winner for Epsom. Hannam HT against his old club.

Herald says
that a blind man was at the match and could see it better than most as it
ended in semi darkness! He

was a Park
Royal fan. Gill and Winship were still out injured, and Webb made his debut.
Hannam's second was

arguably an
o.g. as his shot "cannoned off an opponents leg and hit post on the way
in" but I have credited it to him.

8/9/34 Tame
affair v Grays. Not a patch on the Park Royal game of the previous Wednesday.
Herald calls it "a

miserable
game". A draw was a fairer result, but Epsom edged it 1-0. Game
"was such poor stuff that one lacks

patience to
say much about it"!

Bob Gates had
suggested that J Webb take his place, and he does. Gates will now only play
occasionally in Cup

matches where
Webb is ineligible as a permit player. Webb was a former Redhill player
before he became a pro.

15/9/34 Some
wonderful football by Epsom led to one of their easiest ever wins over
Redhill. 3-0 up at HT but this

doesn't
reflect their superiority. Redhill fought back to 4-3 but Epsom scored two
easy goals in the last 5 mins.

All players
played excellently. Even a Redhill paper says "had Epsom won 6-0 it
wouldn't have flattered them"

15/9/34 former
Kingstonian and future Epsom player LW Urpeth plays for Redhill and scores
one of their goals.

19/9/34 Epsom
score two in 2nd half and look to have the game sown up, but PO Engineers
force a replay.

22/9/34 Keeper
Jack  Forster plays well in 4-0 defeat
at Wimbledon in front of 2,137, which was well below

expectations
due to the weather. Charity only received £90 6s 7d. Tot Winship scored a
headed own goal as Epsom

were easily
beaten. Ten of Wimbledon's side was that which had won the Isthmian League
two years in succession.

M Batchelor HT
for Wimbledon.

22/9/34 Ernest
Henry Flight got married. Future Club Treasurer as well as first team and
reserve player. Buried in

Epsom Cemetery
1905-1990. Wedding at St Barnabas to Nora Elsie Wheeler.

22/9/34
former player Leslie Graves scores four times for current club Park Royal as
they defeat Old Latymerians 13-0 in the Amateur Cup.

26/9/34 Sutton
Midweek Hospital Cup 1st round Epsom Weds v Tolworth Weds.

29/9/34 Epsom
fielded the same side as that which won at Redhill in FAC, but they struggle
at Streatham in

the FAC.
Result was about fair. Ex-Epsom W.Williamson played in both matches and
scored in replay.

Advertiser and
Comet say a record attendance was at Streatham. Streatham started well
"knowing the

peculiarities
of the ground". Epsom were behind twice but forced a draw. Dunne's
equaliser was after a solo run

from Bobby
Gill that covered half of the pitch.

3/10/34 Replay
4.30ko. Epsom are 3-0 down after 20 minutes and deservedly so. Epsom fight
back to 2-3 at HT and

then go 7-3
ahead before Williamson scored a late consolation in unusual circumstances.
He was offside, but

didn't hear
the whistle, and carried on past the keeper who had stopped, and then scored.
After consultation

with the
linesman, the referee allowed the goal. Described by the Comet as "a
queer goal"! Final score 7-4.

One official
still believed that the final score was 7-3!

3/10/34
Oatlands Park 0-5 Epsom Weds @ Oatlands Park. Jim Chennell got two in this
Kingston Challenge Cup tie.

6/10/34 During
Epsom's decade of senior football, they have won many games easily, but never
as easy as this

say papers.
They beat Merton 4-1 in Amateur Cup, despite having 9 men for a portion of
the first half, and only

ten for the
second half due to an injury in 1st half to Bob Gates, who would never again
play for the first team. Merton

had scored in
the first minute "almost as soon as the game opened", but Epsom
were 3-1 up after 30 minutes and

coasted
through. During the game, Dick Wilson was briefly knocked out when he tried
to hook the ball away, and

hit himself
under the chin! It happened almost at HT, and in the dressing room, he wasn't
quite right, and wanted to

know who had
kicked him! By the second half he was ok again. Merton played at the John
Innes Ground by 1939,

and presume
this was their regular ground around now.

10/10/34
Sutton Hospital Cup match to be played this day and won. Presume v Tolworth
Wednesday.

13/10/34
Epsom's biggest gate this season (3,500) says Advertiser. Herald says 3,300.

"One of
the best games ever witnessed on this ground. A wonderful exhibition of
football". Epsom scored first,

but Guildford
fought back with Thorn (ex-Derby County) scoring a hat trick inc pen.

A very even
game and a harsh penalty saw Epsom leave the FA Cup earlier than last year.

We would have
been at home to P.O. Engineers in the next round. Guildford would defeat them
2-1 and would reach the

First Round
themselves, losing 1-2 at home to Bath City.

19/10/34
reported that Bob Gates may have to retire on doctors advice. He "has
done splendid service for a number

of
seasons". "Reliable, able, and a hard worker". "If not a
showy player, he has always been a most useful one".

20/10/34
Epsom's 8th successive cup tie sees a very even game, but Epsom take their
chances better.

J.O'Connor
made his debut (Barry) and took Reg Marlow's place. Future Epsom player
Jackie Pullen played

for Tooting
& Mitcham. Levison also made his debut (reserves). Herald is critical of
the secretive way that O'Connor

appeared. He
had never met any of his team before. Another Welsh player. Winship took
Gates/Webb's place while

Levison moved
in at right half. "Hannam is at times like a cat on a mouse" and
scored again this week.

"The
match did not touch greatness", but Epsom came through comfortably 3-0 v
Tooting in this Amateur Cup tie.

24/10/34
Surrey Midweek Cup 2q Epsom Weds v Cheam Weds. Won 7-1 with a Jim Chennell
HT. @ Stones Ground, East Street.

Oct 34 meeting
of Ewell Boys School DWG Jones (headmaster) was Treasurer. Future Press
Secretary of

Epsom FC and
founder member of Ewell & Stoneleigh. Former President Arthur Glyn was
also their President

and future
post war player Don Ralph was their captain. Reference to their transfer to
the Epsom and Leatherhead

Schools League
last season and only lost once so far..

27/10/34 debut
for SE Jones (Lovells Athletic and Newport County) Quite young and
lightweight. He is

a Welsh
Amateur International. Papers have Webb listed at (2) THE BOOK has Reg Marlow
in. The BOOK is wrong.

Jack Forster
penalty save in 1st half at 1-0 down. Enabled Epsom to fight back for a draw,
despite being 2-0 down

after 40
minutes. O'Connor and Hannam both "inconspicuous" yet scored the
two goals. Winship was injured

so M Wiggins
took his place at half back. SE Jones had a trial with Bristol Rovers but
does not want to turn pro.

Grays Gazette
says that "although Epsom are always an attractive side for Grays
supporters, there was a much

smaller
attendance than the previous week".

27/10/34
Epsom, Leatherhead & District Schools 1-3 Battersea in English Schools
shield @ West Street. Included

within the
squad were future players Don Ralph and Ernie Watkins, who was only 13 years
and 2 months old.

Nov 34 former
player EJ McBirney is at Beddington Corner

3/11/34 A very
close Amateur Cup match at Wills Sports (Carshalton) is decided by a Tommy
Dunne winner

after 119
minutes. It shouldn't have gone to extra time, as both Jimmy Jones(1st half)
and George Mackesy(2nd)

missed
penalties in this game. Epsom were 2-1 up at HT, but two goals near the end
saw Wills 3-2 up with

5 minutes left
before a 90th minute Jimmy Jones equaliser. SE Jones unable to play as he
wasn't a playing

member for 14
days at the time of this game.

7/11/34 Sutton
Hospital Cup 2nd round (last 16) Long Grove 1-3 Epsom Weds. Scorers Keary
(2), Dyer. Epsom

were 3-0 up at
one point. Had also knocked Long Grove out of the Kingston Challenge Cup by a
5-2 scoreline.

10/11/34 Easy
win over Leavesden, gaining revenge for their "double" last year. 5
goals were scored in the

second half in
a 6-1 win. Jimmy Jones had an injured left foot, so he played on the right
wing instead of inside

left. SE Jones
played well on the left wing, but a Dick Wilson o.g. had given Leavesden the
early lead. With 5

minutes until
HT though, the Leavesden keeper injured a finger and was replaced by their
star striker Vale.

Passenger.
Hannam equalised before HT, and Epsom ran away with it in 2nd half in
"wretched weather". It was

very wet
"rainstorm". Epsom appeared in new kit for this match, but were
happy to change back at half time, due to

the weather.
Leavesden also had another player injured in a collision with Jack Forster.
10 men near the end.

J Webb was
left out for this game. As he is a permit player, the selectors wanted to
play the same team that would

hopefully do
duty the following week at Redhill. Epsom also benefitted from an own goal
from Bennett.

10/11/34
Ernest Flight is unable to get a game for Epsom this day so plays for
Dorking. Game refereed by CE Wall

see 17/11/34 comments.

14/11/34
Future player Frank Rawkins plays for Surrey v Sussex in 1-1 draw @? - home
game for Surrey.

Surrey Midweek
Cup is also listed for this date. Epsom Weds v Croydon Albion Drew 1-1 with a
goal by Jim

Chennell.
Replay required @ Thornton Heath on 21/11/34 which was won by Epsom
Wednesday.

Nov 34 Future
Press Secretary Ken Knowlson is now playing for Epsom Athletic Reserves.

17/11/34 A
minutes silence (Comet says two minutes) is held for CE Wall, a Surrey County
official who was

knocked down
and killed after officiating at Dorking last week. Had regularly refereed
Epsom and Redhill 's matches in the past.

CE Wall had
last refereed at West Street for the Amateur Cup tie against Tooting &
Mitcham on 20/10/34.

Papers
describe Epsom as "Redhill's bogey side" Urpeth mispen (BAR) for
Redhill while Epsom were

1-0 up and the
follow up was just over. However Redhill equalised in the 2nd half and forced
a replay in the AC 4q.

Redhill
supporters said it was the best game seen all season.

Times says Hannam scored but Herald & Advertiser say
Dunne with a close range finish and even though the reports are identical, I
will go with them.

24/11/34
Replay saw Tommy Dunne score after 6 minutes, and Jimmy Jones got the second
just before HT.

Epsom were 3-0
up before another Winship o.g. gave Redhill a consolation. The two Jones's
were superb, and

J.Levison who
had been promoted from the reserves, continues to play well. 1,800 attended.
K.o. 2pm.

Herald says it
was clear by half time who would be playing Wimbledon in the next round.
Mackesy was "at his

best",
although Tommy Dunne is the most improved player this season.

28/11/34 Les (LW) Urpeth selected for Islington
Corinthians v Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this day but match was abandoned at
half time for bad light

with Chelsea
winning 1-0 - Professional Midweek League

Dec 34 former
player Leslie Marlow is now at Kingstonian.

1/12/34
Friendly with Woking. GW Murton made debut at left back, but didn't play well
and never played again for

the first
team. He had come from Hastings & St Leonards, and was recommended by an
Epsom player. Epsom led

2-0 early, but
it was 2-2 at HT, and Woking got two more goals in the last 15 minutes.

7/12/34 Herald
says that Leslie Graves will be returning from Enfield, having left there.
However, he doesn't rejoin

until next
season. SE Jones is selected for a Welsh trial. He has played for Wales
"more than once before".

8/12/34 No
game for first XI so they went to watch Wimbledon, their Amateur Cup
opponents. (Scouting!)

13/12/34
reported that Old Haileyburians would be opening their new ground in Ruxley
Lane on 22/12/34. The future Epsom

Town would
play there in 1945/46 season.

15/12/34
Jackie Pullen joins from Tooting & M and makes debut v Fulham Res. Also
Alfred Mackesy returned to

the club and
played while Ernie Sperring returned in goal. Late goal (88) for Fulham.

Ernie Sperring
is still as good as ever, says Herald.

Both new
players were a success. A Mackesy had been "lost to Epsom football for
some time" Pullen had asked Epsom for a trial and would

become a
member of the elite hundred club.

Fulham had
said that they'd send a full London Combination side down, but they had a
game at Charlton that day.

However, their
side still had pros throughout. Jimmy Jones scored after 2 minutes, and this
was the HT score. The

Epsom goal had
some narrow shaves too, but Epsom were the better side.

Dec 34 Sutton
Hospital Midweek Cup draw Epsom Weds v Brixton Police on or before 16/1/35. -
Lost.

22/12/34 Epsom
attacked throughout and crush Carshalton Athletic 7-0. 4-0 up at HT with a
Pullen HT. "A rather

one sided game
coming to an end with the visitors easy winners"

25/12/34 M
Wiggins injured after 15 minutes and out for a while after loss at Streatham.
HT was 0-3, but 2nd half was

more even
despite playing with just 10. He joined Nunhead in March 1935, and was there
at the end of the season.

Advertiser
missing for Dec 13TH, 20TH, and 27TH.

26/12/34 Geoff
Collins made debut. Epsom bounce back after yesterday's loss with a 7-1 win

against the same opponents! Pullen HT and
two assists for Collins. The BOOK says Jack Parr played, but is wrong.

In this match
T.Jones scored against us. Was it Trevor Jones?

29/12/34
London press are excited about "16 year old" Geoff Collins playing
in the London League, but he was 18 in

June 1934. SE
Jones was "a limping spectator" for this game.

29/12/34 SE
Jones injured, so Jack Parr made his first appearance in over a season.
"A light of other days"

Jimmy Jones
was the star player this day, and scored one of the best ever at Ewell after
beating three players and

scoring from
25 yards out. Eton Manor scored first, but crumbled 5-1. Bobby Gill was
"just his sweet real self"!

2/1/35
Kingston Weds 0-5 Epsom Weds. Scorers: J Keary (2), Chennell, Fred Copsey,
and L Dyer. This was

a Kingston
Challenge Cup match, and in the next round, the opponents are Kingston Albany
Res or Hanworth Weds.

4/1/35 Herald
says that M Wiggins is improving after his injury. Will play for reserves
tomorrow.

5/1/35 New
year starts badly, as a 4-0 loss at Tilbury signalled the first of five
straight away defeats. Epsom were

well below
form, and never recovered from a 1st minute goal. SE Jones and M Wiggins
still out injured.

9/1/35 E Weds
v Brixton Police in Sutton Hospital Cup. First home game for 9 weeks says
Herald. - Lost.

11/1/35
reference to Epsom Wednesday being in 4 cups still. Largely due to help of
Fred Copsey, a former Epsom

player.

Jan 35 Old
Halleyburians open their rugby ground in Ruxley Lane. Ground used by the
Epsom Town club in 45/46.

12/1/35 Approx
5,000 watch a below par Wimbledon ease past Epsom in the 1st round proper of
the Amateur Cup

at Plough
Lane. Tommy Dunne was missing, as he was at the Welsh International trials in
Wrexham, and

M.Wiggins and
SE Jones were injured. A scrappy game saw Hannam and Reg Marlow return to the
side, as well

as a debut for
CO Hall (reserves) and G.Collins returned. Jackie Pullen was cup tied,
playing against Epsom

for Tooting
& Mitcham. 1st half collision between E.Balkwill (Wimbledon) and
A.Mackesy saw both as passengers.

Balkwill also
mispen (WIDE) at 1-0 in 1st half. Zenthon scored both goals for Wimbledon,
one in each half. Epsom

would never
reach the last 64 again in the Amateur Cup. Hannam played despite having
recently left for Wealdstone.

Comet says
just over 5,000 attended. "One of the poorest exhibitions" this
season at Plough Lane. Future wartime

player Jack
Lock played for Wimbledon. Herald says "just over 5,000" too.

16/1/35
Norbury Police 0-1 Epsom Weds in Divisional Final of Surrey M/W Cup (QF). Sc:
Jim Chennell (25th min).

Line Up:
Greenfield, Butcher, Barter, Bunn, Copsey, Oliver, Clarke, Williams, Keary,
Chennell, Dyer.

19/1/35 Tommy
Dunne plays for Wales v England at Wimbledon in a 6-1 defeat, although he
assists in the goal

by J.Williams
and has a good game. This would prove to be Tommy Dunne's only appearance for
Wales, and he

became the
only player who would earn their first International cap whilst with the
club. Wales goal was at 4-0.

He was
rumoured to be in line for a place in the squad to tour Norway, but as this
was his only cap, it is unlikely.

19/1/35 Lots
of injury problems for Epsom in addition to Dunne's absence on International
duty. Bobby Gill and

A.Mackesy were
injured and were replaced at full back by Webb and Winship with Levison
coming into Winship's

position. Also
W Rich was promoted from the reserves to take Dunne's place. Leavesden scored
after two minutes

but Epsom
equalised quickly. Then Vale for Leavesden hit both posts with a shot, which
the referee ruled had

crossed the
line in the process, and two more quick goals made it 4-1 before Pullen
replied before HT. Not enough.

23/1/35 West
Park MH 2-3 Epsom Weds - K & D League. Sc: Chennell (2), Keary.

25/1/35
reported that Nunhead have a very good youngster, Compton, who scored HT v
Walthamstow last Saturday.

26/1/35 Arctic
conditions at Brown's ground saw an attendance of only 1,600 (less than half
the expected amount)

as Nunhead
were the better team and won 3-0, even after Epsom had most of the early
play.

A 16 year old
Denis Compton scored for Nunhead v Epsom. Future England cricketing legend
who also

played for
Arsenal and then England (wartime only) at football.

26/1/35
Dorking Schools 1-3 Epsom Leath & Dist Schools in Wood Cup Divisional
Final. HT 1-2. Line up: Roome,

Greene, Ken
Allan, Robinson, Watson, Tyrrell, Goodall (maybe Ted?), Randall, Tavinder,
Skilton, Graffham.

(maybe AC?).
Game played at Dorking FC, Hampstead Lane. This is just off the Dorking one
way system, at its

southern
point. Scorers: Skilton, Goodall, Randall

26/1/35 @ West
Street, Epsom Leatherhead & District Juniors beat Caterham Schools 3-2 in
replay of Wood Cup

Divisional Final

30/1/35
Kingston Weds Res v Epsom Weds in Kingston Charity Cup. Lost 1-4. First
defeat in 14 weeks says Herald,

but it looks
like they lost or withdrew v Brixton Police in January in Sutton Hospital
Cup. Scorer was Jim Chennell.

1/2/35 Another
"popular whist drive" takes place at the Forester Hall run by Epsom
Supporters Club.

2/2/35 Epsom
lose 5th straight away game 5-2 at Park Royal. To be fair, these 5 games were
against some very

good sides on
the whole. Epsom were 3-0 down at HT against the wind, but the second half
was more even.

Wilshaw scored
HT for Park Royal within 4 minutes inc 2 pens, which were the first and third
goals. Former player Leslie Graves got

the other two.
Graves had also ben with Enfield this season but then said to be returning to
Epsom but didn't appear to.

6/2/35
Hanworth Weds v Epsom Weds in Kingston Challenge Cup

9/2/35 After 5
straight losses, Epsom record what papers state is their biggest win, 10-0
against Tilbury, who

had beaten
them 4-0 one month ago. B.Harris made his debut from Dorking, and had 7
assists! Nice debut!

Harry Payton
played a rare game, and Bobby Gill's younger brother Maurice made his debut,
as Bobby was rested,

due to a
stomach injury that had been troubling him for a while. Harry Payton is Manor
Hospital staff these days.

Tilbury
dominated the first 15 minutes, but then suffered an injury. Passenger.
Tilbury keeper Moon also played

for
Bournemouth in the Southern League. 8 goals scored in 2nd half! Herald says
Epsom lucky to be 2-0 up at HT.

Comet headline
reads "EPSOM FC'S BIGGEST SCORE EVER" yet Epsom beat Weybridge in
1927 by same score.

SE Jones
returns to Wales for business reasons and will probably rejoin Lovells
Athletic. Also Tommy Dunne ends

his services
as a regular player, as he has just got a job at West Park mental hospital.
He would return

for a full
season in 1936/37 though, and would still be around during the war
occasionally.

16/2/35 Epsom
field 2 reserves in Maurice Gill and JFG Botwright. Both Gill's played
together for the first time.

Botwright was
ex-Maidstone and Gillingham Res. PO Engineers started the better, but with
the wind in the second

half Epsom
improved, with goals from Pullen (48) and Harris (65), then the engineers had
a goal disallowed after 68

minutes for offside.

16/2/35
Friendly at West Street sees Epsom, Leatherhead & District 1-5 Lambeth
Schools. One of "London's

distressed
areas" says Herald. "A large number of interested spectators".
Game arranged by EV Collis of Epsom

Brotherhood.

23/2/35
Finchley's 100% record ended by Epsom in a 2-1 win. Maurice Gill played for
George Mackesy who had

a nasty thumb
injury. B.Harris was injured, and J Youdale replaced him for his debut. He
had joined from Dorking

too and was a
young schoolmaster in that area. Jimmy Jones scored the first goal, and
Finchley equalised

soon after,
but soon after the kick off Collins got the ball and ran down the left side
and then stopped. As everyone

was awaiting a
cross, he shot and scored what proved to be the winner. Paper says an
excellent game.

Comet was less
complimentary, calling the goal "a cross shot that baffled the
keeper".

Herald says
that Collins scored with "a fine swift directed shot", but that he
didn't do much else in the game!

Herald says
Mackesy had sliced off part of his right thumb while using a plane at work!
Harris had a bruised

shoulder.
Bowyer scored for Finchley, and has apparently scored 300 in 8 seasons.

27/2/35 @
Redhill FC London Transport Co 2-3 Epsom Weds in SF of Surrey Midweek Cup.
First ever visit to the

final, despite
deplorable conditions. Will play Molesey Weds in the final on 3/4/35.

2/3/35 Jimmy
Jones and Bobby Gill unavailable, as they were playing @ Dulwich for London
League in a 0-0 draw

with the
Isthmian League. Epsom still defeat Carshalton Athletic 4-2, which flattered
the visitors a bit.. Epsom

are now second
in the table. Tommy Dunne returned to the side, and George Mackesy was
captain this year. Also

Tom Ogle made
his debut for Epsom from Manor Hospital. "A most satisfactory
debut". Epsom have ten games

remaining, yet
eight matches are against the same 4 sides. An example of the very odd
fixture scheduling that

seemed to be
almost commonplace up until the 60's.

George Mackesy
was Epsom's best player.

2/3/35 Bobby
Gill has to leave field with injury while playing for London League v
Isthmian League.

2/3/35 SSC SF
Kingstonian v Redhill. Bernard Marlow plays for K's along with future manager
Doug Whitehead, and

Leslie Marlow
plays for Redhill but breaks an ankle after 8 minutes in the game at Nunhead.
A heavy fall.

2/3/35 Future
player Syd Faggetter scores two for Uxbridge v Sutton in Athenian League.

9/3/35 Epsom
lose deservedly 2-0 at Bostall Heath. Bobby Gill was injured again, and
replaced by another

ex-Dorking
player AV Calvert, who made his debut.

9/3/35 On the
same day, Reg Marlow was making his debut for Dorking, despite only being
"a little over 30", he

amazingly
appeared surplus to requirements at Epsom. He scored the following week, and
played a few times.

Paper confirms
no relation to Kingstonian's Bernard, or Redhill's Leslie, both former Epsom
players too.

16/3/35 Epsom
win 2-0 at Dagenham, just a week after Dagenham had beaten leaders Park Royal
3-0.

Dagenham had
all the play in the first half, but the second half was more even. LW Urpeth
made his debut from

Kingstonian,
but hadn't played since xmas. Despite this he gave a "cool and
sound" performance. Ex-Epsom

Billy Williams
played for Dagenham v Epsom. Game was played at Dagenham before Arena. Glebe
Road.

16/3/35 Surrey
Intermediate Cup Final @ West Street - Sutton District Water Co. v Netherne
M.H.

22/3/35
reported that Jimmy Jones and Bobby Gill have been selected for London League
v Paris in Paris on 13/4/35.

23/3/35 PO
Engineers score first in a game with ill feeling between the players. This
was because they had already

played three
games W1,D1,L1 and they were level on points in the league too. Fortunately,
H Jones (referee)

was one of the
best in the league. 1-1 at HT, although PO Engineers had more of the play,
but Epsom controlled

the second
half and won 3-1 to get through to the SF's. Epsom had a bye in the first
round.

This replay
was played at Epsom because the Engineers had loaned their ground on this
date.

Ex-Epsom J
Gillespie played for PO Engineers v Epsom.

23/3/35 Epsom,
Leatherhead & District Schools 3-1 Woking & District in SF of Hood
Shield @ West Street on the

Saturday
morning. Ernie Watkins (now listed as Epsom Central School) plays again.

Mar 35 Note of
West Norwood requiring a new ground. They had played in Norwood until 1905
then moved to the

Herne Hill
Track. An ideal ground was found at Raleigh Gardens Mitcham in 1927, yet
support dwindled away to

virtually nothing. They are looking to share
at Streatham's ground, but this costs money, so donations are required.

27/3/35 Epsom
Weds v Long Grove MH in SF of Kingston Challenge Cup @ West Street. This was
also a League

game too. E
Weds have won two of the three matches played so far this season. KO 3.30.

30/3/35
Heaviest defeat of season at Chelmsford, who actually had 6 reserves on show.
Despite the defeat,

the papers
expect Epsom to win the return in April. Jimmy Jones injured early 1st half.
Passenger. Chelmsford

Dixon mispen
(WIDE) at 1-1 in 1st half. Herald says "never before have Epsom played
so ineffectively".

"Chelmsford's
centre forward was such a tease, that Epsom were beaten with the greatest of
ease! The speed and

dash of
Stanley Keeble made Epsom's backs look slow and feeble!" Keeble got HT
in 1st half, and four in total.

6/4/35 Epsom
win easily, but only 2-1. Dagenham had scored first through Randall, and E
James was in goal.

This is the
same E.James (previously Romford) that went to Grays the next season, and to
Epsom in 36/37. He

played well
and kept score down. Comet says Epsom are undefeated at home in league, but
they lost the first game.

13/4/35 Epsom
deserve their 2-1 win over Bostall Heath. B.Harris was brilliant, especially
in the first half.. Bostall

Heath
equalised against the run of play after 75 minutes and were so excited that
they failed to settle down, and

Epsom took the
ball straight from the kick off and Pullen scored what proved to be the
winner. Jimmy Jones was

missing, as
was W Showler for Bostall Heath. Both were in Paris playing for the London
League v Paris League.

15/4/35 Jimmy
Jones plays for London League v Paris. Bobby Gill also selected but injured.

13/4/35
Wimbledon reach Amateur Cup Final, but after drawing with Bishop Auckland in
Middlesbrough, they lose

the replay
back down south. They do win the Isthmian League again though. Future player
Cecil Weller plays for

Wimbledon. A
local Ashtead lad.

15/4/35 Epsom
& District Schools win Hood Shield @ West Street 1-0 v Carshalton &
District. 3 players from Epsom

Town Juniors
in squad. Carpenter, Booth, and ERNIE WATKINS future Epsom legend aged only
13 at the time.

Winning goal
was a penalty, during the build up to which, a Carshalton player broke his
wrist. Epsom were happy

for him to be
substituted, but the rules were checked at HT and it was not allowed, so
Carshalton had 10 men

for the rest
of the game. Quite a big attendance saw Arthur Glyn present the trophy. Ernie
Watkins was listed

as centre
forward. Result even mentioned in The Times.

19/4/35 Good
Friday saw play about even, but Epsom outscored Tooting & Mitcham 3-1
after a goalless first half.

Epsom scored
on 46th minute. "One of the biggest gates of the season".

20/4/35 As
papers predicted, Epsom do gain revenge for their defeat at Chelmsford with a
2-1 win.

Gill and
Winship were injured and Youdale replaced Collins from the line up on
19/4/35. HT 1-1. Jones scored winner.

22/4/35 Easter
Monday's return game with Tooting & Mitcham saw Jackie Pullen score
against his old club to

rescue a draw.
This game was the best attended this year at Ewell, so must have exceeded
3,300 Guildford (FAC).

Herald doesn't
mention crowd size. Pullen's goal was an overhead kick says Herald.

These Easter
results took Epsom back up to second again.

24/4/35 Epsom
are 2-0 down but recover to get a draw at home to Park Royal. Injury to Park
Royal's

Hewlett in 2nd
half. 10 men. Herald says Ruffell just got a touch to a goal as it crossed
the line, but BOOK credits

Pullen, so I
will stay with Pullen this time, as it must have been close.

24/4/35 Epsom
Weds 3-1 Molesey Weds in Surrey Midweek Cup Final replay at Hersham.

Mr EE Thornton
became Secretary and Trainer this season.

The two sides
drew 1-1 at Wimbledon on 3/4/35, but Fred Copsey played in the replay, which
helped. Jim Chennell

got the first
with a penalty after 20 minutes, and HT was 1-0. Chennell got the second and
Keary scored after 78

before a late
consolation for Molesey Weds. Presented at the ground, and the Cup is on show
at the HQ for Epsom

Wednesday,
which is the Red Lion Hotel in East Street. (was situated opposite where the
Rainbow Centre is).

The Cup run
saw 5-2 (H) Long Grove, Cheam Weds (H) 7-1, Croydon Albion (H) 1-1 replay (A)
4-1, West Park MH

(A) 4-2,
Norbury Police (A) 1-0, SF - London Transport Co (A) 3-2. F.Copsey played
too.

26/4/35 Three
Tons Hospital Cup Final (Carshalton, Beddington, Wallington). Carshalton Ath
Res v Manor Hospital

@ West Street
6.30 k.o. Result was 2-2. Tom Ogle, T Pierce, Harry Payton all played for
Manor. Junior Section.

27/4/35
Opening of a new sports ground in Southfields for the Wandsworth &
District Gas Company. Their Sports

Club Secretary
is WH "Bronk" Challis.

27/4/35 Former
and future player Mike Wiggins scores a HT for Nunhead in a 3-1 win over St
Albans City.

29/4/35 LC SF
lost at Streatham 1-0 on the Monday, despite having no game on the previous
Saturday.

Comet says
this game was at Carshalton Athletic. Herald agrees. No report or line up
though.

Comet is
correct. This semi final was played at Carshalton, where Streatham's victory
was "no fluke". A goal after

15 minutes
which was nearly stopped by Maurice Gill was the only scoring. Streatham play
Finchley in the final.

In the
National Daily News, the scorer is credited as a Gill own goal which appears
harsh!

30/4/35 Newell
debut at Finchley in 1-0 win. Comet says R Gill played not M.Gill. Comet is
wrong.

1/5/35 Molesey
Weds 1-3 Epsom Weds in Kingston League Cup Final at Cobham FC "Near
White Lion Hotel".

3/5/35 Surrey
Youth Cup this year is between Croydon OB and West Byfleet at West Street.
Epsom won it last year

beating
holders COB on the way.

4/5/35 Epsom
lose 6-1 at Eton Manor in final game of season but hang on to second place by
one twentieth

of a goal, or
0.05 of a goal. Epsom had most of the first half, but "played like a
stale team, listless and ragged"

4/5/35 Croydon

25/8/34
encouraging attendance for game at Beckenham. Game played at Upper Elmers End
on a scorching

afternoon and
Epsom were unlucky to lose. Debut for a 15 year old Gordon Brogdale. Game
played at Balmoral Avenue, which

still exists
as a rugby venue. HT 0-0.

1/9/34
Dagenham Res arrived very late and K.O. was 30 minutes after the advertised
start time. Dagenham were

3-1 up at HT
inc mispen (HIGH) for handball by Flight, which was a great save! Clarke (2)
and Hattam pinched the draw.

8/9/34 Only
10 listed in the BOOK.

15/9/34 S
Dennett ex-Juniors plays for Res this day in 7-0 win over London Labour in
London League. Game

started at 4
pm as the visitors were late, and even then played with ten throughout. Epsom
should have won 8-0, but

the ref blew for full time as the ball was going in! Ernie
Sperring was back in goal. JFG Botwright debut (Maidstone and Gillingham Res)
did well on

debut but Hall
was the best player today.

Sept 34 W Rich
returns for res from Tooting & M, while L Young joins from Barking.

22/9/34 both J.Webb and W.Rich were expected to play for
the reserves but neither appeared. Started with nine then Geoff Collins came
on and

Newman then
appeared but Clarke limped off shortly afterwards!

BOOK line up this day refers to Copsey playing, but he
isn't listed in Herald report. However, report says Rich didn't play then
included him in the

line up at the
bottom so I will stick with the line up I have.

22/9/34 F
Clarke injured this day - out for a week or two. Scored before he went off in
a 1-1 draw at home to Eton Manor.

29/9/34 Colin
Birch (no relation to Terry) is the son of the Park Royal trainer, who is
ex-QPR. Made debut this day

for res v
Chelmsford. He is young but didn't do too much. HT 1-0, Hardy. FT 1-1. Rich
was again absent.

Chelmsford
played much of the game with ten men.

6/10/34 WH
Challis plays first game of season, for reserves.

13/10/34 Reference to reserve team player WH
"Bronk" Challis (regular first teamer in past years) being
ex-Sutton which he was, briefly. Epsom

defeat Sutton this day at Sutton in SIC by three goals to
one. Challis set up the first goal after just two minutes and although it was
level after 25

minutes Sutton suffered an injury that left them with ten
men for a while and then the player was just a passenger. Challis put epsom
ahead in the

second half
and Hardy got the third.

Oct 34 Epsom
Wednesday drawn away to Longgrove in second round of Surrey Midweek Cup. Must
have beaten Tolworth in first round.

20/10/34 no
game for Reserves.

27/10/34
Former and future players F Strudwick & J Kershaw play for West Park v
res in Surrey Intermediate Cup.

27/10/34 Epsom won this tie 3-0 against their local
friends. HT 1-0.Clarke scored first before getting injured. Passenger, while
West Park also went

down to ten
through injury. Epsom played well against a side containing Strudwick,
Kershaw, Enderby and Barnes.

3/11/34 Res
were 1-0 up after "less than half a minute". Hardy and Challis both
got 2 v PO Engineers in 4-0 win. HT 2-0.

17/11/34 Res
beat Acton 4-2, but it should have been 4-1 as a shot that hit the bar and
then dropped down, did not

cross the line
says Herald. Ref thought it had but was poorly positioned. G Jones debut.
W.Challis HT.

1/12/34 no
game for reserves.

8/12/34 Res
beat London Caledonians 'A' 4-1. BOOK says Hardy (3), Botwright, while Herald
and Advertiser say Hardy (2),

Levison and
Botwright. Forster and Levison came in as there was no first team game. I
will go with the reports and amend. HT

2-0 and they
scored 15 minutes from the end with "a grand shot from the left
wing".

15/12/34
Chelmsford Chronicle advises that Epsom are home to Woolwich Poly although
this game is played at Woolwich. Was it switched?

15/12/34 The
record I have says CO Hall was one of the scorers yet the BOOK has AW Hardy
as scoring two goals in our 6-0 win at Woolwich

Poly. Challis
got the other four. No report in Herald or Advertiser though.

22/12/34 Res
beat Finchley 4-1 who played the first half with 10 despite a late start due
to the referee being held up.

These late
starts are becoming a regular occurrence for reserve games at West Street
right now. Game all over by HT with score already 4-1.

Bronk Challis
and Geoff Collins scored twice.

25/12/34
Ernest Flight gets HT for res v Streatham. W4-1. Other scorer not advised in
Herald or Advertiser.

26/12/34 Res
almost emulate the first team and win 7-2 v Streatham Res at Streatham.
Former juniors B.Spring, K.Nash

and V.Brewer
(listed in BOOK as W.Brewer) all play for res this day.

5/1/35 Wiggins
plays for res but is too careful after his injury. Jack Parr took Challis's
place as he was with the firsts.

Res still won
7-0 v Beckenham.

12/1/35
F.Jones plays and scores in a 1-3 defeat at PO Engineers. It is possible that
this could have been S.Jones. Check!

19/1/35 C
Ashton debut (Bishops Stortford). A draw would have been fairer in this
friendly with Tufnell Park Res, but

Epsom won 3-2,
as they got goals in the first and last minutes. Ashton was "fast and
energetic" and got the winning goal.

26/1/35 No
game for Reserves.

2/2/35 Reserves get late Dennett penalty equaliser in a
1-1 draw with champions elect Northmet who now have AT Rance in their line
up. They will

win the League
says Herald. F.Clarke injured again - recurrence of injury. 10 men.

9/2/35 L
Stephens and F Denby (Epsom Ramblers - probably A.Denby) to play for res this
day. Debuts. Another Dennett penalty gets

a 1-1 draw in
a friendly at Long Grove.

9/2/35
However, the BOOK does not list Denby at all and JH Hall is listed instead,
one week ahead of his debut trial v Du Cros. I will amend.

2/3/35
Reserves play a friendly v Du Cros, who are a local side based in Edgware,
and looking to be elected to the

London League
next season. The reserves gave many trialists a game, which may have
explained the 10-3 scoreline!

J Brewis
(Derby have offered him a trial), H Johns (a Leatherhead lad who has played
for Leyton Res), CB Fowler

(Chessington
& Exeter Res) and JH Hall (from Wearside League football).

2/3/35
However, J.Brewis is not in the BOOK line up. Also W.Parker is probably the
keeper but not certain yet.

9/3/35 Res
beat Woolwich Poly 3-2 "in bitterly cold weather". Game watched by
very few people.

9/3/35
Challis was listed amongst the scorers but the BOOK didn't have him in the
line up. Hall scored, not Challis. The BOOK is wrong.

Voice report
of this reserve game on Blackberry for testing on voice software.

16/3/35 A
Kavanagh (Camberley) played well on debut. An unnamed local sub scored one of
our goals in a 2-2 friendly draw at Epsom Manor.

30/3/35 E.Evans a schoolboy International is to play for
reserves. Lost 3-6 v Grays (H) but he scored twice. Herald says he is too
slightly built to

play centre
forward in London Leageu fotball.

6/4/35 Another
new player ST Price from (Porth Welfare) to make debut.

13/4/35 No
game for Reserves.

26/4/35 and 27/4/35 saw two games in two days for Res.
Drew 2-2 at Finchley and won 4-1 v UGB. B.Harris and G.Mackesy play for the
Reserves

in the second match.

4/5/35 Epsom
get a 3-3 draw at UGB to end the season.

Epsom Town
Juniors (no Junior Reserve side this year)

Sutton &
District Division 1. Finished 2nd bottom with 4 points, as a result of
