through the
second half. Relegation now looks likely.

Town. Epsom went behind after 12 minutes, but a Kidd

penalty two minutes later meant it was 1-1 at HT. Richard
Strong put Epsom ahead after 48 but it was 2-2 after 65,

before David
Jones, on for Tuite, curled in a great winner with six minutes remaining.

Miles joins Croydon from Carshalton

12/4/86 After
the exciting result on Tuesday, Epsom slumped at home to Harrow 3-1. Ken

as a sub in the 1-1 draw at Tooting & Mitcham, but the report

in the programme and in the scrapbooks does not mention
him coming on, even though he is listed as a sub. I have
