win 1-0 v Eastbourne Town in first match of second half of season. They were

reserve match this day.

23/1/71
Ruislip (H) p-p. Eventually played on 13/3/71 by which time we'd played 6
spring season fixtures..

13/3/71 From
other league tables I have calculated this match to be a 1-1 draw at home to
Ruislip, as was the case

two weeks
previously when we played our final autumn league fixture.

20/3/71
Eastbourne Town (A)(L) is p-p.

3/4/71 Epsom lose 4-0 at Uxbridge after drawing 3-3 the
Saturday before according to other papers. No reference in Epsom papers.

Apr 71 Epsom lose 9-3 at Eastbourne Town and it appears to
have been played in the midweek before 17/04/71. It definitely didn't

happen on
17/04/71 as Eastbourne had another game that day.

14/5/71 Final
game of season at Ruislip lost 1-0 on a Friday evening.
