after 32 minutes, and they

conceded a
second after 53 minutes. A 76th minute penalty made it 3-0 and Steve Milton

13/10/84
Epsom lose 5-4 at home to Bognor Regis in FA Cup. Very disappointing result,
and Bognor went on to

beat Swansea
in the first round replay, before losing to Reading in round 2.

Steve Hill's second goal this day was his 100th and he
joins an elite club of just five other players to do this. The only

other postwar
member is Tommy Tuite.

20/10/84 A
goalless visit to Andover in the FA Trophy. Replay required.

23/10/84

Team player

1963. Wimpey also sponsor the club for £5,000 this season as a goodwill
gesture.

Thompson is
not currently listed but I do not have all the reserve records and they are
very patchy.

They get an injury

time
equaliser. Windsor's first two goals were own goals by Harmsworth and
Stratford.

8/12/84 Tony
Boorman was injured and Robin Lewis came in for his first match of the season
in a 2-1 win at

Hendon. An
early goal from Steve Hill set them on their way, and a penalty fifteen
minutes from time put them 2-0

up. A late
88th minute consolation for Hendon. Boorman's injury was a cracked bone in
his leg.

goals in first ten minutes.

Feb 85 Ian
Stillwell left the club after refusing to play in the Reserves. Had lost his

However, Abel is off on a school skiing trip shortly, as
is Steve Hill. I don't think they were at the same school though.

9/3/85 A
Steve Milton mispen (WIDE) is only part of the problem as Epsom lose 2-1 to

second half
after the referee had to go to hospital at half time and a linesman took his
place.

14/3/85 Mick
Sorensen is cup tied for the Hitachi Cup QF v Staines which is lost 1-0 in
extra time. Dull match, but

a great goal
by Staines Town.

16/3/85 Too
many fixtures are taking their toll as Barking defeat Epsom 2-0 at Mayesbrook
Park. Tuite and Hill

were rested
but to little effect.

19/3/85
Training is cancelled to give the players a day off.

are back to full strength and win 1-0 at Hitchin in front of Guest of Honour
Sir Stanley Rous. It was

Tommy Tuite's
350th goal for the club, and it came four minutes from time..

Reference to a
new club of Addlestone & Feltham in Apr 85 as Addlestone are in trouble.
It doesn’t happen.

6/4/85 Epsom let a two goal lead slip and have to settle
for a 2-2 draw at home to Slough. All four goals at same end.

10/4/85 Tommy
Tuite scores all five goals in a 5-2 win at Windsor & Eton. Epsom led 2-0
at HT but it was 2-2 soon

after.
However, Epsom were irresistible and with Boorman, Hill and Milton in full
flow Tommy just kept scoring.

13/4/85 Epsom
led at Harrow but lost 2-1. A poor back pass from future full back Ray Metz
was taken in by Tommy

Tuite, but two
second half goals against the wind sealed Epsom's fate. Gary Baker debut.

Tuite gives Epsom a first half lead but Hendon equalise after 70 minutes.

Epsom are
assured of safety after this point, but then find that the ground is now
graded as C instead of B, and have

to do more
work by May 31 to retain their place costing £2500.

Simon Sweeney
sent off near the end with a Whyteleafe player.

28/2/85
Wimbledon (H) is p-p as West Street is needed for a Surrey Senior Cup replay
with Sutton United.

14/3/85 Bromley are defeated 3-0 in Isthmian Youth Cup.
They were able to qualify but Epsom weren't, so this game was played.

21/3/85 Carshalton Athletic (H) lost 2-1. Newman played
shirt number 3. Was this Newcome? Probably. I will amend.

28/3/85
Croydon (H) is p-p.

4/4/85 I have assumed this date as almost all of our other
games were Thursdays, and we trailed 2-1 at HT but won 3-2

at Tooting & Mitcham. Andy Leach scored one penalty
but a second was saved only for him to knock in the rebound.

10/4/85
Whyteleafe (A) is p-p.

12/4/85 Youth
won 2-1 at Whyteleafe, but this was not a Southern Youth League game
according to Dave Wilson's

final league
table. It was left unplayed as a 0-0 draw according to his records. This was
an SYLeague Cup QF.

15/4/85
Dennis Wise plays for Wimbledon Youth at West Street in a 1-0 defeat. Andy
Leach mispen (HIGH) at 0-1.

inc 20/4/85
Yth table reads Pld 6 W1 D0 L5 F4 A20. Correct.

25/4/85
Whyteleafe (A) is moved for Wimbledon game and would never be played.

25/4/85
Regular keeper for Wimbledon Youth scores HT v Epsom Youth. The keeper was
Paul Jones, who went on

to become a
Welsh International. He came on as a second half sub in this game and had
been having wrist trouble.

Dennis Wise
also played against Epsom. Future England International..

9/5/85 A 2-2
draw at home to Croydon, despite it being the Croydon club's home fixture.
Mick Kinnimont and a

Croydon player
were sent off for fighting.

Our programme 4/5/85 says the 9th May match was meant to
be the home one with the away one at West Street on 11/5/85.

League table in May shows Pld 11. This has awarded one of
our two outstanding matches as a 0-0 draw, and another

will follow as
11/5/85 Croydon (H) was not played and then Whyteleafe (A) is not played
either.
