5/8/95 Nigel

All of last
seasons squad are reported to have returned as Epsom are expected to be a
little better than in recent years. However

Trevor Jones
leaves the club.

19/8/95 0-0
draw at Harefield. Epsom would score in their next 48 away League games until

the benefit of

I have ever
seen. Bennett and Meakin returned to the side and Nimmo dropped to the bench
with Laverty at a wedding.

Sept 95 Former
player Mark Wiggins is playing for Kingstonian this season.

9/9/95 Epsom

12/9/95
Hertford (H) is p-p as they have an FA Cup replay.

16/9/95 Epsom
hammer Wingate & Finchley 4-1 at Summers Lane. They are one of five clubs
still unbeaten. Epsom went behind

minutes after
having a perfectly good goal disallowed, but weren't behind for long. Steve
Smith equalised and in the second half

Epsom scored
three times, the highlight of which was a header from Ricky Dymond. A triple
substitution after 78 minutes. Andy

Boxall's goal
was also described as a moment of individual brilliance.

23/9/95 For the
second year in a row Epsom have to move their home game with Flackwell, this
time to Hampton, and win 4-3 with a

late winner
from Paul Meredith. Epsom went behind to a penalty after two minutes and it
was the 1000th conceded in Isthmian League

football by
Epsom. Miller equalised but Epsom trailed 3-1 before Miller got his second
right on HT. Steve Smith equalised after 72

and a low
finish from Meredith sealed the points. Epsom are third with a game in hand
on the top two.

26/9/95 Cove
are destroyed 6-0 at Merland Rise. Andy Boxall HT and goals from Meredith,
Miller and Tim Smith. HT 5-0 and could

have been ten
but Epsom relaxed in the second half.

30/9/95 No game
for first team. Only 21 teams in the league so each has a spare day twice in
the season.

Oct 95 former
player Mark Wiggins transfers from Kingstonian to Carshalton Athletic.

3/10/95 Epsom
are held 1-1 at Tring by Southall but they are still enjoying their best
start for years. Western Road is still

closed and will
never reopen, eventually being developed for housing. Southall eventually
finish bottom.

7/10/95 Epsom
are very confident says papers and they smash Wingate & Finchley 7-1 at
Merland Rise. Wrongly reported in some

papers as a 3-0
defeat! A 35 yard lob from Tim Smith after 9 minutes set the pattern. Former
Manchester C player Barry Silkman (43)

was in their
side but he couldn't help. Stuart Miller was out injured again with stitches
in a head wound so Rawlinson came in.

Steve Smith
scored the second on his 33rd birthday. Three goals in the last five minutes
shows a killer instinct. Epsom

are now second
in the table.

10/10/95 Epsom
defeat Dorking in the Southern Combination Cup 3-1 but require extra time
before clinching the tie. They actually

went behind
after 74 minutes, but a Boxall corner after 82 minutes took it into the extra
period.

Ruislip Manor.

21/10/95 Epsom
come from behind to beat Clapton 2-1 after a moment of brilliance from Andy
Boxall three minutes from time. Miller

returned after
two games out. Non stop second half pressure as Epsom trailed just before HT
after dominating.

This match was
the first match that I missed in thirteen and a half years since a trip to
Clapton on 27/4/1982. 697 consecutive games.

28/10/95 A far
from convincing performance as Epsom retain their unbeaten record with a 1-1
draw at Tring. Epsom led in the first half

but an
equaliser after 75 minutes was no surprise.

4/11/95
Unbeaten run ends at home to Horsham who lead 2-0 at HT and defeat Epsom 2-1
despite a swerving long shot from Dave

Argent and lots
of Epsom pressure in the second half. Epsom are fourth.

6/11/95 Andy
Boxall suspended for 21 days after a sending off in Sunday football.

7/11/95 Miller

11/11/95 Epsom
dominate the game against East Thurrock, but have to settle for a 1-1 draw at
Rookery Hill. Unchanged side and

Epsom scored
after 34 minutes with a Meredith header but a penalty in the first minute of
the second half provided the equaliser. Dave

Hyatt saved the
original penalty but the rebound was tucked away by the taker. Several yellow
cards, mostly unnecessary.

18/11/95
Windsor & Eton (A) is rearranged as they have an FA Vase game.

Feb 96 former
player Warren Burton transfers from Hampton back to Molesey.

Feb 96 Robin
Lewis makes the opposite journey.

3/2/96 Banstead
are still in FA Vase and will eventually make SF's, but this means that Epsom
have to shift their home match to

another ground.
The game against Aveley is then held at Maidenhead, where Epsom led 2-0, the
second of which was one of the

best ever
comedy own goals after 47 minutes. "Miller's low cross into the box
found Aveley defender under no pressure. There was no

Epsom player
within ten yards and cries of away, away from keeper Drake. Bulgen for some
inexplicable reason lashed a fierce left

footer wide of
his own keeper, who, even if he had been prepared for it, would never have
stopped it." Unfortunately, Aveley fought back

for a 2-2 draw,
although wouldn't have got back if Meredith's shot had gone in at 2-0 instead
of hitting the post..

10/2/96 More
dropped points as Epsom led twice but drew 2-2 in their last visit to Cove
before they leave the league. Epsom would

return in 2007.
Tony Boorman 100th appearance.

13/2/96 A good
2-0 win at Camberley, and it was a vast improvement on the Saturday game. A
bitterly cold evening. Andy Boxall

is left on the
bench this day as it was a heavy pitch and manager Hill felt it would not
suit him as well.

17/2/96 No game
for first team. Epsom's spare week.

Feb 96 former
player John Raffington moves from Molesey to Bromley.

20/2/96 Lewes
(H) is p/p. Waterlogged.

Barry Miller, brother of Stuart. Strange

as he had
already played 22 times for us that season and had only recently left.

24/2/96 Tring
(H) is p-p. Prog Y.

29/2/96 First
match for two weeks as Epsom defeat Southall 5-0 on a Thursday night. Only
1-0 at HT. An early penalty for deliberate

handball saw
the defender sent off, but the penalty was saved from Graham Morris. It
didn't matter. Epsom's 750th Isthmian game.

2/3//96 an easy
win at Clapton, as Epsom led 4-0 after 47 minutes before conceding a couple
in the last half hour. Two for Boorman.

Mar 96 Tim
Smith and Meredith are both out with knee injuries and Nigel Bennett is
unavailable as he is preparing for his upcoming

marriage.

player Steve Flack cancels his registration with Walton &  Hersham following the change of Manager
there.

5/3/96 Epsom
arrive without kit and have to use Windsor's spare kit of green and black.
Lost 7-2 at Windsor & Eton. Only 2-1

down at HT as
Meyer's goal reducing the arrears raised spirits, but the second half was
tough. Steve Jones HT. Epsom had

been unbeaten
in eight games and are still seventh with games in hand.

9/3/96 No game
for first team.

14/3/96 A
hastily arranged game saw a 0-0 draw at home to Lewes.

16/3/96 Epsom
get a 1-1 draw at Edgware against Wealdstone, who contained former Woking FA
Cup hero Tim Buzaglo. He wasn't fit

though and was
subbed at HT. Wealdstone started strongly but Epsom scored in their first
attack after 4 minutes through Stuart Miller.

Wealdstone
equalised on 45 minutes. Meredith booked and now expected to be suspended for
the trip to Horsham on 30/3/96.

19/3/96 An
excellent response by Epsom who defeat Windsor & Eton 4-1 14 days after
losing there 7-2. An early goal for Rawlinson

was equalised
after 57 minutes, but two goals in three minutes and a fourth for Tony
Boorman who chipped in from a wide angle.

23/3/96 250th
appearance for Nigel Bennett v East Thurrock. Epsom drew 1-1 in a match with
several unsavoury incidents. Graham

Meakin returned
after his suspension against Windsor and Stuart Miller returned to the bench
after injury. Lots of water cleared before

the game could
go ahead.  Epsom went behind after 4
minutes  but Rawlinson's equaliser
after 32 minutes caused East Thurrock to

lose the plot
The manager was sent off but after 60 minutes another player punched and
kicked Andy Boxall and when sent off had

to be forcibly
removed from the pitch by a team mate. Epsom still couldn't get the winning
goal though.

26/3/96 Epsom
get a 2-1 win at Flackwell Heath. A comfortable win as Epsom led 2-0 for a
while and could have had more..

30/3/96 Boxall
and Meredith are due to be suspended for one game, Meredith against Horsham
and Boxall v Hertford, but Meredith

is able to play
at Horsham. Meredith misses the game at Kingsbury on 6/4/96 instead.

30/3/96 It
makes no difference as Epsom are beaten 3-1 at Horsham anyway to end their
faint promotion hopes. Nimmo and Steve

Smith came in
for Meyer and Rawlinson. Crowd was over 200 and Epsom took the lead after 18
minutes even play as Meredith scored

from 25 yards giving the keeper no chance.
Horsham equalised after 42 minutes from a free kick while Epsom were still
arranging

themselves.
Horsham scored two more in the second half.

Apr 96 former
player Warren Burton moves again, this time from Molesey to Banstead
Athletic.

reported.

6/4/96 The two
draw specialists in the league draw at Kingsbury 1-1. Boxall returns after
his suspension and Ben Forey scored on

his debut, but
again Epsom let a lead slip. Meredith suspended and Bennett was at a wedding.
Forey showed promise on his debut.

Kingsbury
equalised with a speculative effort hitting a defender and looping in with
six minutes remaining.

8/4/96 Easter
Monday demolition of Camberley Town 4-0. Four different scorers including
Forey. An easy win.

Record Isthmian
League Score   11-1 v Tring Town   Home Thurs 11/4/96

Epsom scored
after 23 seconds, and led 6-1 at half time. Three goals in the last 5
minutes.

Didn't beat
Dean Meyer's goal a few years previously v Petersfield at 14 seconds.

Andy Boxall
equalled Reg Marlow, Leslie Marlow and Tommy Tuite's club record with 6 goals
in the game.

11/4/96 Epsom
annihilate Tring Town 11-1 although it was 2-1 at one point. The keeper hurt
himself in conceding at 5-1 and they had a

player sent off
early in the second half. Three goals in the last five minutes as Epsom sat
on 8-1 from 59 minutes to 85. They were

the first club
in the Isthmian League to score double figures this season.

13/4/96 Two
days later at Leighton, they scored after 26 seconds! However Leighton fought
back to win 3-1 and were promoted this day.

14/4/96 Epsom
& Ewell League Cup finals at Banstead Athletic this day - Prog Y.

20/4/96 Andy
Boxall scores after 47 seconds so Epsom score inside a minute for the third
consecutive time, but they crash 4-1

at home to
Hornchurch.

Apr 96
reference in Bulletin to Mick Stratford, now 43 who is still playing for
Banstead Athletic. Apparently it was his first club in 1971/72.

23/4/96 Epsom v
Kingsbury is p/p. Waterlogged, so it is played on 25/4/96. However Reserves
had an SCC tie at Leatherhead that

same evening.

25/4/96 Epsom
played two games on this Thursday evening. (H)(L) v Kingsbury, while Res
played in the SCC (H) match

which had been
switched to Leatherhead. Won 1-0 against a strong Leatherhead side while the
first XI drew 2-2 with Kingsbury.

No programme
issued by Leatherhead it appears.

25/4/96 Epsom

minutes.

In the SF of

before then
playing a few years at the same level in Lanzarote. Club records had his
middle name as James, but he confirmed it is John.

27/4/96 Epsom
can't score at home to lewes but away from home it is easier winning 3-2 at
the Dripping Pan. Their 300th win in

Isthmian League
which guarantees them a top seven place. Epsom fans had to wait until three
minutes eighteen seconds before a

Boxall free
kick hit the net, and two more from Forey ensured the win after Lewes had
fought back from 2-0 down to level.

30/4/96 Second
best as Wealdstone score once in each half.

originally two games, but then became one due to a postponement. Luckily this
uneven suspension farce would be ironed

out within a
few years.

13/11/95 Greg
Harfield breaks a toe as we lose 1-2 at home to Kingstonian.

his sending off at Raynes Park Vale.

2/12/95 Greg

Kingstonian.

9/12/95
Leatherhead (A) is p-p.

18/12/95 Late
kick off at Merland Rise as Dorking arrived late. Paul Keeley scored with a
shot that went in off a defender for our

equaliser, but
this is credited as an own goal in the records, so I won't change it here.
Maybe it was a bigger deflection than the

report implied.
Epsom won 3-1 in the end.

28/12/95 The
Carshalton cup game is p-p again.

30/12/95 Met
Police (A) is p-p.
