Club
Captain:

Sam
Currie - Assistant Anthony Panayi, although Ben Hayward and Kyle Hough would
also captain the side on occasions

while
Currie recovered from injury and in fact by the end of the season Dan Dean
has been awarded the Vice-Captain's role.

May 14 Pre-season friendlies are announced. There is no
mention of the Dave Wilson Trophy as of yet which is a concern. Clearly it
looks as though we

won't be
holding a four team tournament this year.

June 14 Club
announce that the AGM will be on Sunday 20th July at Epsom Common Working
Mens Club.

June 14 The friendly at Horsham YMCA is now designated the
Dave Wilson Trophy match and will be played at Gorings Mead. Bizarrely we
have said that

we won't be
issuing a programme "as it is their home match". Horsham YMCA later
confirm that they will produce a match programme.

June 14 NESCOT receive planning permission for
the build of 91 homes on their site.

June 14 Jamie
Hatfield advises that he won't be returning to the club this season but hopes
to return in the future.

June 14 Club
Photographer Gemma Jarman advises that son Mark is likely to retire from
playing. He doesn't join at first.

June 14 Carl Downs advises that he hasn't made up his mind
about what he is doing this season. Not a good sign at this stage of the
season and usually

means that the
player is leaving.

22/6/14 CCL AGM advises the departure of Wembley (South
Midlands League), Croydon (Southern Counties East League) and the promoted
South Park.

In their place come Ashford Town, Chertsey Town and
Guildford City, while three up from Division One were Eversley &
California, Spelthorne Sports and

Knaphill who
replace Chessington & Hook, Alton Town and Ash United.

22/6/14 League
Cup draw gives Epsom their first bye since 2006 and we will be at home to
newly promoted Knaphill.

22/6/14 At the
AGM Epsom & Ewell received a cash prize of £300 for their Third place
finish.

28/6/14
Pre-season training and trials start at 1pm at Surbiton Town FC.

5/7/14 First friendly with Loxwood does not take place as
they cannot field a side. The game was moved to Surbiton Town as the Loxwood
pitch was

not ready but
then fell through completely!

8/7/14 Epsom arrange a sudden friendly against Dorking for
this day and defeat them 6-2 at the Wimbledon Common Extensions. Taylor Smith
caught

the eye, and was known to Epsom after his hat trick for
Whyteleafe against us. Karl Douglin was present, although he is part of the
Kingstonian side.

Epsom hope he may be loaned back for the season. In
addition, Kyle Hough is returning to the club from Horley although he was not
present here. We

conceded first (19) but were leading 2-1 at the half.
Scorers in the first half were Ben Hayward (22) and  Taylor Smith (25) while two goals early in
the

second half from an own goal after good work from Smith
and a Harry Hoadley tap in ensured the result of the match was not in doubt.
Tommy Harper

beat the offside trap to round the keper and score after
33 minutes of the second half and as time expired Jakub Kurdziel scored with
a looping

header from a
corner. Game was approximminutes each way and Lyndon Buckwell refereed the
second half.

8/7/14 The
Surbiton Town friendly against Farleigh Rovers will take place on the Friday
evening instead of the Saturday.

10/7/14 Eversley & California may be denied promotion
due to lights issues and tweet this evening that the club has folded and all
the players have left.

Further details awaited on whether they have been
officially denied and if so, whether Ash would get the reprieve or we would
have 21 teams.

Officially it transpires that Eversley are to be relegated
but Ash will not get a reprieve as we are into the new season. We will play
with 21 teams this season.

July 14 Alex McGregor has left for Dorking Wanderers,
Nathan Ayling and Jamie Hatfield are currently with South Park, while Mark
Jarman has retired

from playing.
James Cottee has gone to Chertsey but will only be available for a couple of
months before travelling again.

New players: Kyle Hough and Julian Van Gelder return to
the club. Taylor Smith is here from Whyteleafe and Michael Eacott from
Colliers Wood (gk).

Elliott Nelmes (Sutton Youth) played against Dorking and
did well at left back. Some of the reserves are getting a run out, including
Lionel Mutima,

Matt Tanton,
Sean White, Jakub Kurdziel.

11/7/14 Epsom draw 2-2 with Farleigh Rovers. We conceded a
long range opener after 7 minutes before Anthony Panayi put a glancing
header

goalwards, the ball going in off a defender's head. We
went behind again 12 minutes into the second half but Richard Lediju ran on
to a Harry Hoadley

pass and beat the keeper to it for the equaliser after 19
minutes. Farleigh hit the post near the end but Kyle Hough also had a shot
cleared off the

line and a draw was a fair result. Playing surface at
Surbiton Town was very uneven. Another match that was just 40 minutes each
way, but it did kick

off at 7.15 so
maybe there were light concerns.

Steve
Dyke has advised that the Holding Company were looking to join forces with
Leatherhead and put a 3g pitch at Fetcham Grove but this idea

ended in
December when the ground was flooded! Now the club are fully committed to a
deal with NESCOT and Barry Wastnedge is now on the

Steering
Committee along with three people from the Colts, three from the Committee
and the three main members of the Holding Company.

Epsom are very confident that we will get an
agreement on a new ground although time scales were not specified.

11/7/14 It is confirmed that the club will not be entering
the Southern Combination Cup. Chipstead charged us for the use of the pitch
for these

games which is harsh when considering that we went out of
Cup and Vase at the first hurdle. Either way it added to the fixture
congestion last season.

19/7/14 Epsom defeat Walton Casuals 2-0 in a friendly at
the old Capel FC ground in Beare Green. We were the better side and scored a
goal in each half

from Kyle Hough and Sam Currie. Michael Eacott hurt a
finger near the end and was replaced by Matt Farrell who produced a fantastic
save to tip a low

shot onto the post and away in the final seconds. Eacott
would miss the friendly on Tuesday at St Francis as a result but it is not
seen as a long term issue.

19/7/14 It
transpires that the Player of the Year awards were decided, just not
presented.

20/7/14 AGM at
Epsom Common Working Mens Club at 8pm. Not well attended but plenty of news.

Chairman Tony Jeffcoate was replaced as he was unable to
secure a nomination before the meeting. Pete Beddoe then stood and was voted
in.

This means that
Tony is currently not a member of the Committee.

Richard Lambert returned to the Committee in a new role of
Media Officer. This will combine a number of smaller roles including
Programme Editor and

Webmaster with his new website taking over as the official
site. He will also deal with Press and Publicity in addition to the club's
other Social Media outlets.

Pete Lumm reported good news on behalf of the Holding
Company and officially advised the formation of a Steering Group containing
all relevant parties.

NESCOT's
old London Fire Brigade is the site of choice and will have to move quickly
before more houses go up on the NESCOT development or they may

complain about floodlights.

An outside firm of consultants Sports4Grants are likely to
be appointed with an immediate brief of feasibility studies and obtaining of
grants.

In the end
another consultant, De Cara Associates, headed by Cara Demetriades gets the
appointment.

It is also advised that we will not be running a Reserve
team as we cannot get a pitch! Many of the Reserves are currently training
with us anyway.

Some have gone
to university and the club were keen to remove it for now regardless of the
pitch situation.

The League constitution was: Abbey Rangers, AFC Spelthorne
Sports, Battersea Ironsides, Epsom Athletic, Farleigh Rovers, Horsley, Mole
Valley SCR,

Reigate Priory, Ripley Village, Sheerwater, Staines
Lammas, Tooting Bec, Virginia Water, Warlingham and Worcester Park. We get a
£100 fine for

our
withdrawal.

22/7/14 Epsom leave it late to win 3-2 at St Francis
Rangers in our latest friendly. We trailed after 4 minutes but Taylor Smith
headed an equaliser from a

Hough left wing cross after 31 and we looked stronger as
the half finished. Unfortunately we went behind again soon after the restart
when stand in keeper

Jordan Morey (ex Three Bridges and St Francis) made a good
save but the rebound was knocked in. We founght back to equalise as Hough fed
Smith again,

this time from the right with a low cross and he had time
to take a touch before firing into the roof of the net after 68 and Karl
Douglin latched on to a nice ball

from Hough to
calmly stroke the ball underneath the advancing keeper after 88 minutes. It
was about fair as we just shaded the match.

The game was
played on their main pitch at the Colwell Ground.

22/7/14 Pete Beddoe in his Secretary role advises that we
now have twenty players signed on, including Hough and Smith, while Douglin
who is technically

with Kingstonian, and Carl Downs (undecided) are unsigned
at present. Most others who have played including midfielder Harry Hoadley
are signed.

Both Douglin
and Downs would sign before the start of the season.

22/7/14 League fixtures are released. We have four free
Saturdays, two because of the Eversley situation. CCL also advises two dates
for RPV (A) in case

the game is p-p
on 27th December, in which case it will be played on Saturday 14th February.

26/7/14 Epsom win the Dave Wilson Trophy for only the
second time, following a 5-2 win at Horsham YMCA in a one-off match over 40
minutes each way.

Taylor Smith put us ahead as early as the 7th minute and
Matt Farrell was first to a Dewar cross to score the second after 28. Eacott
was replaced at HT by

Kieran Campbell who has returned but he was beaten almost
immediately by a low drive into the corner and then fumbled another
straightforward effort and

the loose ball was turned in to make it 2-2 after 49
minutes. To our credit we picked up the pace again and Douglin scored a good
solo goal after he beat the

offside trap twenty minutes into the second half, and
Smith scored a second from Douglin's pass two minutes later, with Alex Tilly
scoring a fifth goal from

Hough's pass
two minutes after that.

30/7/14 Despite trailing at half time, we fought back to
win 2-1 v Croydon at the Arena with two Dewar strikes. We had trailed after
30 minutes when a

loose ball was finished off into the top corner but a
Dewar run into the box was dangerous. He found Farrell who held it up and
then passed back to Dewar

who had continued his run and he slotted in at the far
post after 54 minutes and after 71 minutes he scored again after his flick on
from an Elliott Nelmes

cross bounced
back to him off a defender and he finished low past the keeper.

2/8/14 Epsom open their League account with a 2-0 win at
Farnham Town, where they had crashed so badly last season. A slow first half
contained little of

note but Douglin struck after 52 minutes with the apparent
aid of a deflection and Smith set up Farrell with a great back flick for him
to score after 89.

2/8/14 Sam
Currie 100th appearance v Farnham. He is the 114th player to reach this mark.

Aug 14 Matt
Tanton is a former Redhill player.

4/8/14
www.eefconline.co.uk becomes the Official Club website. The old site remains
as a large photographic archive.

6/8/14 Raynes Park win by a long range strike that takes a
huge deflection after 28 minutes from former Epsom player Simon Moore. We
created little, but

it was the same for them and we were probably worth a
point on balance of play. Kyle Hough, Carl Downs and Karl Douglin were all
missing for a number of

reasons. It
transpires that Douglin has left to join Croydon for more money while Hough
is nursing a groin injury.

6/8/14 Presentations to Mark Jarman (Players Player of the
Year) and to Lyndon Buckwell in recognition of his 400th match in charge
coming up this

Saturday at
Hartley Wintney.

6/8/14 Jarman
and Dale Marvell both came on as substitutes against Raynes Park.

Aug 14 Sam
Currie sufferes a dislocated knee cap and will be out for a few months.
Anthony Panayi becomes Captain in his absence.

9/8/14 Hough returns but Currie and Hayward are absent so
Anthony Panayi becomes a very young captain and we cannot hang on to a 23rd
minute Taylor

Smith header from a pinpoint Marvell cross that had put us
ahead at Hartley Wintney, conceding a header from a free kick after 43 and a
clumsy penalty

given for a foul by Dean after 78 minutes. Eacott was
superb in goal and made seven or eight really good saves and we were lucky to
get away with 2-1 in the

end. Not clear
if Hartley were that good though, but we were unable to compete especially in
midfield.

12/8/14 Raynes
Park Vale reject a seven day approach from Epsom for Ato Okai.

14/8/14 Sam
Robinson rejoins the club from Merstham.

16/8/14 Epsom win 3-1 at Hassocks in the FA Cup to claim
£1500 prize money. Dale Marvell rolls back the years to score twice in the
8th minute from a

slide rule Hough pass and then when he headed in a Smith
cross after 27. They pulled one back after 57 but Marvell returned the favour
for Smith to head in

a perfect far
post cross after 71 and we held on fairly comfortably. We now face Croydon at
home who include Karl Douglin in their line up.

17/8/14
Guildford City match moved back from 30th August to Tuesday 30th September
due to our FA Cup tie with Croydon.

21/8/14 a live
draw on BBC Radio Surrey gives Epsom a home draw with Camberley Town in the
Second Round (last 32) of the SSC.

23/8/14 A 92nd minute winner for Colliers Wood as they
defeat us 3-2. We had already required two equalisers having trailed after 5
and 70 but sub Ali Dewar

scored after 56
and 76 to bring us level. We were worth a draw say people at the game.

25/8/14 Epsom have to come from behind twice again but
this time they hold on for a point in an even game with Horley at High Road.
Ben Hayward was sent

off for two bookable offences around the 70 minute mark
while James Taylor equalised Horley's early goal after 28 minutes but former
youth teamer Ashley

Nadesan put them ahead by HT and we required Dale
Marvell's goal after 55 to level the score once again. Taylor Smith and Harry
Hoadley were not available.

30/8/14 Epsom lead Croydon with a Taylor Smith goal after
39 minutes but a late equaliser after 87 gave the Trams a Wednesday replay at
the Arena.

30/8/14 The
winners will be at home to Step Four Burgess Hill Town in the First Quaifying
Round on 13th September.

30/8/14 Regular keeper Michael Eacott was away on holiday
as was Sam Robinson. Lyndon brought in O'Shane Brown from Merstham to fill
the gap.

31/8/14
Chertsey Town (H) is now p-p from 2nd September to Tuesday 28th October as a
result of the FA Cup replay.

3/9/14 Epsom lead but subside rapidly to go out of the FA
Cup at Croydon in a replay by four goals to one. A tight first half sprung
into life when Dewar

smashed Taylor's cross into the top corner after 53
minutes, yet after 55 minutes were were behind and a third followed after 61.
As we pushed we were

caught out for a fourth goal. We are as good as these
other teams but lacking in confidence, experience and belief at present. We
would have been at home

to Burgess Hill
Town in the next round.

Sept 14 Ben
Hayward is to be suspended for the League match on 13th September against
Frimley Green.

6/9/14 Before the game Lyndon Buckwell informs Pete
Beddoe, Steve Dyke and Richard Lambert that he is resigning with effect from
the following Saturday's

game at home to Frimley Green. He was unhappy with the
budget cut that had lost a few players but had also had a change in work
circumstances and was

travelling from his home in Pulborough. It was agreed that
the players would be told after the game and that Glyn Mandeville would be
offered the job until the

end of the season. Both are invited to the upcoming
Committee Meeting on Friday 12th September to discuss handover and the news
will be announced

on Sunday advertising the coming match as a "thank
you Lyndon" match. The Holding Company have been informed. It was
believed that appointing Glyn

was a good move as opposed to advertising for the
position. It allows for stability and continuity, he is popular with everyone
and has Managerial

experience with Bookham. It was believed that it was the
fairest course of action to offer the role for the whole season instead of as
a caretaker.

6/9/14 Epsom bounce back really well with a 5-2 win at
Hanworth Villa with Sam Robinson recording his first hat trick for the club.
He opened his account in

just the third mnute from a Taylor Smith cross which he
met with a diving header. However they were level within a minute and a half.
This time we were

able to get back on top quickly when a ball across found
Hoadley in space and he scuffed his shot to Smith who drilled it low beyond
the keeper after just

8 minutes. We played well from that point and extended our
lead after 43 when Matt Tanton met a deep corner with a superb volley that
flew into the net.

Robinson scored his second after 59 when he won a header
to set Hough down the left and when the cross came in he met it with a great
strike into the

opposite corner. He then scored again when he scored a
great strike in off the near post from just outside the area following a left
wing pull back after 81

minutes and a
late goal in injury time; a late strike that gave Eacott no chance was just a
consolation.

6/9/14 Dale
Marvell was at a wedding while Ben Hayward was injured and Dan Dean had flu.
Carl Downs left the club on Thursday 4/9/14.

12/9/14 Committee Meeting at Epsom Common Club 8pm. Dougie
Burns has resigned as Membership Secretary due to ill health and former
Reserve Manager

Mel Tough is
to take on the role. Also revealed that we were fined £100 for the Reserves
resignation from the Surrey Elite League.

Both Glyn Mandeville and Lyndon Buckwell were present as
handover matters were discussed. Matt Smith is to become Glyn's Assistant
while also remaining

Coach. There
is a possibility that Ken Jones will leave as he is reluctant to take a cut
at this stage. This will be determined shortly.

Other matters
were discussed relating to fund raising attempts and Lyndon was thanked for
his efforts.

13/9/14 Although it was Lyndon's 407th and final game this
day against Frimley Green he leaves Glyn to run everything and reverts to
ball boy for the day!

An average crowd of 57 is there to say goodbye but despite
being well on top, especially in the second half, we are unable to break
through and are left to

count the cost of a Hough penalty awarded for a foul on
Taylor Smith that the visiting keeper saved low to his right after 20
minutes. The Frimley goal had a

number of close escapes during the match as the two teams
drew for the first ever time in eight meetings. Ali Dewar and Harry Hoadley
were out injured while

Ben Hayward
served his one game suspension for his sending off against Horley.

13/9/14 after the
game Lyndon was presented with an engraved plate and some flowers for
wife Lucy from the club and a match ball signed by the players.

There were other presents including one from former
Captain Jamie Hatfield who had rushed over straight from his game at South
Park to be there.

20/9/14 Glyn Mandeville's first match in charge results in
a 4-1 win at Knaphill. We made a flying start and Sean White scored with a
slightly miscued volley

from a Matt Farrell pass with 1.47 on the clock. He scored
again in the ninth minute after Taylor Smith's shot was half saved and he
knocked in the rebound.

A Mark Jarman cross after 42 was met by a far post header
by Smith to put us three up at the break before Marvell struck left footed
from 25 yards after 49.

Knaphill had a fair bit of the play though and pulled one
back after 63 before Robinson was sent off after 75 for two bookable
offences. Debuts for Ollie Shaw

and Matthew Ferdinando. Players missing this day were
numerous. Hayward (work), Hoadley (inj), Dewar (inj), Hough (wedding), Panayi
(wedding - abroad),

Currie (inj),
Tanton (uni) and Taylor (uni).

Sept 14 It is
confirmed that Ken Jones is to take a break from football. The club will
advertise for another physio.

23/9/14 Epsom's confidence took a knock with a 4-0 defeat
at Westfield. We lost Sean White to an early suspected injury to ankle
ligaments and never really

got going to the same extent that we had at Knaphill. This
was also because Westfield were better, closing us down in all areas. We
conceded after 26 when

Eacott saved the first shot but was unable to prevent the
loose ball being knocked in, and despite getting closer, we conceded after 54
to a glancing header

from a free kick. Two further goals followed after 77 and
83 which were down to good deliveries and we came close near the end when
Hough had a shot

cleared off the
line and Farrell's goalbound header was knocked onto the bar by a defensive
header.

23/9/14 Taylor Smith and Mark Jarman were unavailable,
while Harry Hoadley remains out and Ben Hayward and Ali Dewar are also
missing from the regulars.

24/9/14
Football Club Relocation Sub-Committee (Pete Beddoe, Pete Lumm, Richard
Lambert, Pauline Russell (Colts) met Cara Demetriades, a consultant

with
experience of these matters at the old London Fire Brigade ground in Ewell.
Many options were discussed, but a 3g pitch is not feasible because of

limited
rental availability. The nearby tennis courts were considered too small for
maximising rental and a suggestion to place the new pitch (when
levelled)

from end
to end so that one end has the clubhouse directly behind it, and a new 3g
surface of similar size alongside it was considered the better bet, even

though
it is more expensive. More grants are available than were first thought
however. The clubhouse and changing rooms require minimal work but access

to the
site is too narrow and there is still an issue with where the entrance meets
the road itself. A new access road may be required to go across from the

college
side where access is better, but one doesn't actually exist right now.
Overall there were many positives and once we receive a quote from Cara
in

early
October, we will determine how best to proceed before then approaching NESCOT
to negotiate terms with Cara present at any meeting between them.

Cara
also felt that it would be better to try for a lease to take over the four
grass pitches nearby as they all require use of the dressing rooms and access

issues
would exist over which bit is ours and which bit remains NESCOT's. It was
also felt that the first step is to get a grass pitch up with the 3g facility
to

follow a
year or two later, should everything work out at the ground, which doesn't
help the Colts or NESCOT much so we may have to sign some sort

of commitment ourselves.

27/9/14 Epsom's first visit to Spelthorne Sports results
in a fine 3-0 win there. We were pushed back early on but when Smith was
fouled just inside the area

Hough stuck away the penalty in the 27th minute. We scored
our second with a deep corner that Marvell got a header to at the far post
after 49 and he had

nearly scored moments earlier from a carbon copy Farrell
corner. Farrell then scored a third after 83 with a classic counter attack
goal after Hough set him up,

although his
shot probably should have been saved. It was their first home league defeat
since 02/03/13.

27/9/14 Dale
Marvell's 300th appearance. Only the twelfth player to reach that mark in
club history.

30/9/14 Epsom concede early but fight back and dominate
Guildford City who are finally defeated 4-1 with two goals in each half. They
took the lead after 1:27

when a poor clearance was knocked back in to the striker
who lifted it over Eacott, but we had a number of chances and equalised after
32 when Robinson's

shot took a slight deflection and as the keeper spilled it
Hough tapped the loose ball in. A minute later Murphy had headed us in front
from a Robinson corner

and Taylor hit the post with a header on his 21st birthday
and Tanton missed a tap in volley at the far post from close range. We went
3-1 up after Robinson

fed Hough who turned and shot low from just inside the box
after 66, and Robinson made it four after 86 when he struck a loose ball in
with power. Guildford

were very poor but you can only beat whoever is in front
of you and we did that conclusively. Jarman was very unlucky not to score as
he forced the two best

saves on the night from their keeper. Anthony Panayi 150th
appearance as a late sub. He is the second youngest in history after Tommy
Tuite to achieve

this, and only the second to do this before his 22nd
birthday. Taylor Smith was out with a knee injury that is causing Glyn to
have to "manage" his situation.

4/10/14 Epsom
have a Saturday off. No game.

Oct 14 Matt
Robinson joins from Redhill. It is his second spell at the club after a brief
stop a couple of seasons previously.

6/10/14 Epsom
are drawn at Lingfield in the First Round of the F.A. Vase. A new ground for
the club to visit.

7/10/14 Epsom edge past Mole Valley SCR with a superb Kyle
Hough chip from twenty yards just over the keeper in the 11th minute. There
was little else of

that standard but it was a hard battle and we defended
well. Mole Valley had a player sent off for a second bookable challenge with
fifteen minutes

remaining and we held on fairly comfortably from that
point. Hough also hit the far post with a glancing header soon after his goal
but the ball bounced out

and was cleared. Overall it was an even game. Taylor Smith
was due to start but struggled in pre-match and was replaced by the returning
Matt Robinson

brother of Sam
who served a one match suspension for his sending off at Knaphill.

7/10/14 It transpires that Matt Tanton was not booked
against Mole Valley despite being one of four players on the referee's list.
Neither myself nor

George Holland who was doing the match report were aware
of the booking and Matt confirmed that he didn't get booked in the game. Not
sure what the

club can do
about it though.

11/10/14 Bedfont Sports take one of their few chances
while we miss a hatful and have another penalty saved as we lose 1-0 at High
Road. Many

opportunities were created over the ninety minutes but
Hough's penalty after 25 awarded for a foul on Taylor Smith was saved. The
Bedfont Sports goal

came in the 23rd minute. Worse was to follow in the 90th
minute as Sam Robinson was sent off for the second time this season with a
straight red card

after already receiving a yellow card minutes earlier. He
will receive a four game suspension at least for this, starting against
Lingfield. With ten men and in

injury time
Farrell then hit a post with a header. Just not our day!

Oct 14 Both the Spelthorne and Chertsey Town home games
are postponed as Chipstead have rearranged matches on those dates. Club
offers Wednesday

12th November for Spelthorne instead of 11th November. The
Chertsey game was only discovered by accident as no one at Chipstead actually
informed our

club and it was
noticed in their match programme. The Chertsey game was originally scheduled
for 28th October.

It transpires
that the Chertsey game is in fact still on. It was an error in the Chipstead
programme!

14/10/14 Epsom play poorly in front of goal and after
scoring with two good first half strikes a Knaphill goal before HT proved to
be the final goal of the match

as we hung on to win 2-1. We should have had far far more
than the two we had. Sam Robinson put us ahead after 29 minutes with a great
25 yard strike

into the top corner and Kyle Hough finished off clinically
into the bottom corner after 37 minutes. However both Hough and Matt Robinson
were guilty of

some poor misses too and it got nervy towards the end.
Taylor Smith, Matt Tanton and James Taylor were all unavailable and we tried
a 3-5-2 formation with

Sean White and
Luke Gaffney as wing backs which worked fairly well although we got pushed
back a bit towards the end.

14/10/14 The draw for the next round was also advised this
day and we travel to Frimley Green who defeated Spelthorne Sports 1-0 a.e.t.
the same night.

14/10/14
Programme error - wrong k.o. time on the front. It was a 7.30 start to allow
for the possibility of extra time and penalties.

18/10/14 Poor defending just before HT was our undoing as
we had conceded to Ashford Town after 15 minutes but got an equaliser from an
own goal by

Mullen from Hough's left wing cross after 39. However, we
then conceded after 40 and 43 and although Ferdinando scored his first goal
for the club after 75

from Sam Robinson's header back from White's deep right
wing cross, we let a fourth in after 87 minutes but that was harsh on us.
Ashford had a substitute

Moody sent off
in injury time for a late challenge on Eacott.

18/10/14 Sam Robinson is now suspended for four games from
Camberley (A) on 25/10/14. He will be available for any Second Round Vase tie
on 22nd

November. Dan
Dean has accu,ulated five bookings and will also miss the Lingfield trip.

20/10/14 The League game at Spelthorne is rearranged for
16th December, while the League Cup tie at Frimley Greenn is now on 9th
December.

Additionally,
the Surrey Senior Cup tie at home to Camberley Town is now confirmed for 2nd
December.

25/10/14 Epsom lose an uninspiring game 1-0 at Camberley
who were solid in defence and deserved to win the game. However, we had
chances just before

their 42nd
minute goal and could have come away with something on another day. Neither
side had a shot on target in the second half.

25/10/14 Matt
Smith takes charge of the team in Glyn Mandeville's absence.

Oct 2014 Julian
van Gelder is likely to move teams to Croydon.

Oct 2014 Kieran Campbell and Carlton Murray-Price have now
moved to Guildford City, while Reece Jackson has moved from Mole Valley SCR
to Hanworth

Villa.

28/10/14 Club
brings forward the League fixture at Bedfont Sports from 20/12/14 to
08/11/14.

28/10/14 Epsom produce their worst performance of the
season as they lose 2-1 to Chertsey Town at High Road in a League match. The
visitors shaded a

flat first half, although a shot from Hough just clipped
the far post. In the second we improved but were caught on a counter attack
and Woodley ran fifty yards

before knocking the ball past the exposed Eacott after 60.
They then had former Epsom player Steve Newman sent off for a second bookable
offence, yet

after 73 they extended their lead when Pomroy got to a
right wing cross ahead of our defender to knock in from close range. After 80
we earned a penalty

when Batton lashed out at Jarman in the area and he was
given a straight red card. Hough knocked in the penalty but despite pressure
we couldn't get on

level terms through a combination of poor decisions, long
range efforts and sound keeping from the visitors sub keeper Daley, who had
come on early after

Michael White, brother of our former keeper Joe re-injured
himself after about 12 minutes. Ali Dewar was not available and Taylor Smith
is still missing.

1/11/14 It is revealed that Dale Marvell is leaving the
club for Hanworth Villa. However, Alex McGregor is rejoining from Dorking
Wanderers but is cup tied

so cannot play
in the Vase.

1/11/14 Dan Dean was originally thought to be suspended
for the Vase game but after Steve Dyke looked into it, he had only four
bookings against him and

it transpired
that it was an error by the Surrey FA!

1/11/14 Disaster at Lingfield as Epsom crash 5-1 in the
Vase.It was the worst defeat in Vase history for the club and we were behind
after 6 minutes when

Kiernan scored the first of his three first half goals. He
scored again after 28 from the spot after a Gaffney foul and then in first
half injury time. We

improved after the break a little but were caught out on
the counter attack and conceded after 62 from our own corner. Sean White
pulled a goal back with a

20 yard chip after Taylor Smith had robbed the keeper
after 84 but a foul by Eacott resulted in a second penalty after 92 minutes.
George Murphy and Ali

Dewar were out
injured while Matt Robinson was unavailable.

8/11/14 Alex McGregor returns to the line up but Kyle
Hough is absent as Epsom defeat Bedfont Sports 2-0 at the Bedfont Sports
Club. Two Taylor Smith

goals after 47
and 62, one with each foot were enough after an even and fairly dull first
half exploded into life in a torrential rainstorm.

8/11/14 Sam
Robinson has now completed his four game suspension and is available for the
trip to Cove next weekend.

15/11/14 Despite heavy downpours the game at Cove goes
ahead where despite being the better side for most of the match, Cove win
with a 53rd minute

header after we fail to take our chances again. Hough
returned but only to the bench while Smith was out again with injury and
McKay was away but Murphy

was back in the
team after injury.

15/11/14 Club Captain Sam Currie plays 90 minutes for
Mickleham today and is not far away from a return after his knee injury. Ali
Dewar is also close to

a return says Glyn Mandeville. Dewar is also briefly
suspended by Surrey FA for non-payment of a Sunday fine but this is cleared
quickly by the player.

18/11/14 A better performance against Mole Valley SCR at
Cobham winning 5-2. Ferdinando headed us in front after 4 minutes from a
right wing Robinson cross

and Hough scored after 6 when receiving a low pass from
Robinson out on the right. They pulled one back with a long shot after 29
which Eacott did well to

get a glove to, but he will have been less impressed with
his attempts to stop a shock equaliser after 34 although we were cut open so
others were at fault

too. Fortunately a keeper error just thirty seconds later
allowed Hough to get his second and he completed his fifth hat trick for the
club from the spot after

71 when he was fouled. Robinson then combined well with
Ferdinando to sweep the ball in from 20 yaards after 81 minutes for the goal
of the game and it

was a well
deserved win.

22/11/14 The Salts Super Six kicks off this weekend.
Select six results and win the pot of £50. No one does and the pot rises to
£85 for the next Saturday

home game v
Hanworth Villa.

22/11/14 A horror start at home to Molesey as we concede
after 5 and 8 (pen) but from that point it is a more even game. A superb
strike from Palmer after

59 made it 3-0, striking an overhead kick from twenty
yards in off the bar and we had two clear penalty shouts before finally
getting one in injury time when

Hough was
fouled. He scored but it still finished 3-1.

23/11/14
Hanworth Villa (H) is moved back from 6th December to Tuesday 13th January
due to their FA Vase progress.

25/11/14 Kyle Hough is the subject of a seven day approach
from Horsham YMCA where former Manager Lyndon Buckwell is now involved. The
approach is

rejected by
Kyle.

29/11/14
Guildford City (A) is p-p. Waterlogged. Rearranged for Saturday 28th March as
both teams had a spare Saturday in the distance.

Nov 14 Following bookings against Molesey both Sam
Robinson and Matt Farrell have now reached five bookings and will miss the
League Cup tie at Frimley

Green.

2/12/14 Epsom defeat Camberley Town in the Surrey Senior
Cup by a goal to nil at High Road, thanks to a 19th minute Alex McGregor
strike from distance.

On a cold and
blustery night there were few chances although the visitors hit the post
early in the game.

The draw for
the third round will be made on BBC Surrey on Friday 5th December at 7.50am.
And gives us a last 16 match at Molesey.

2/12/14 Sam Currie gets five out of six right on the Salts
Super Six but there are no winners and the pot rises to £100 for the
Spelthorne game on 16/12/14.

6/12/14
Hanworth Villa (H) is p-p as Hanworth have a Third Round tie in the FA Vase
instead. No game for first team.

9/12/14 Epsom record an easy 5-0 League Cup win at Frimley
Green and were 4-0 up at HT. Matt Ferdinando and Kyle Hough both scored twice
with James

Taylor getting our third goal. The evening was spoilt
slightly by a big punch up which resulted in Matt Ferdinando getting sent off
along with the Frimley 3

and 5 although their keeper said that one of these was the
wrong player and it should have been someone else! Ferdinando put us ahead in
the 7th minute

with a scorching low drive into the far corner from Matt
Robinson's flick on. Hough then received the ball from Ferdinando with his
right foot bafore transferring

the ball to his left and guiding it into the same corner
after 13. A James Taylor header from an Alex McGregor free kick after 21 made
it three nil and

Ferdinando, this time on the left reacted to a through
ball from Robinson ahead of the keeper and his shot crept inside the post
after 32. Hough made it 5-0

after 60 after the keeper had saved from Ferdinando and
then from Hough who netted the rebound before the unsavoury incident after 67
minutes. Dan Dean

also picked up
a booking towards the end which will earn a one game suspension although
Ferdinando's will be three.

Sam Currie made his return from injury as a substitute in
this match, while Kyle Hough moved up to the third all time position as a
striker and is now on 149!

9/12/14Sam
Robinson and Matt Farrell were suspended for the Frimley Cup tie.

9/12/14 It also transpired this day that Sean White has
been released by the club. Wanted more playing time and had been a regular
sub for a while. Ironically

with two more
suspensions coming up he may have had a better chance of playing time.

13/12/14 Epsom lose 4-2 at Badshot Lea but the sending off
of Sam Robinson after just 6 minutes hampered our chances and ultimately
spelt our downfall.

However, some great skill from Ferdinando earned a penalty
which Hough scored for his 150th for the club. We could have extended the
lead but they equalised

after 41 when a deep ball in was volleyed back across goal
for an easy tap in. Within 60 seconds Ferdinando earned us another penalty
and Hoguh put us

ahead again but in first half injury time they tapped in a
loose ball after Eacott did well with the first save of a low shot.In the
second half we had some chances

but were pushed back and conceded to an own goal after 73
when they had an overlap and a good ball in. We thought we had equalised with
a great

Hough header in injury time but it was disallowed for
offside and within twenty seconds they had scored a fourth. Very harsh defeat
but great performance.

14/12/14 The Molesey SSC game will take place on Tuesday
13th January meaning that the Hanworth Villa (H) League match will now take
place on Tuesday

3rd March.

16/12/14
Former Epsom striker Norman Dearlove passes away at the age of 78. Funeral is
on 15/01/15 at Sutton Cemetery.

16/12/14 Dan
Dean suspended for visit of Spelthorne Sports.

16/12/14 Epsom defeat Spelthorne Sports 4-3 to record our
second double of the season but it was close in the end. Matt Farrell put us
ahead in first half injury

time after Alex McKay's header from a corner was
blocked  by the keeper's legs and hee
knocked in the loose ball. 90 seconds into the second half we

extended the lead after a keeper and defender
miscommunication which left Matt Robinson the simplest of tasks to knock the
ball in from very close range.

The game turned on yet another red card when Alex McGregor
picked up his second yellow for swearing at the referee. Both his bookings
were a little harsh and

on another day he'd have got away with it. Within a minute
Spelthorne pulled a goal back after an initial shot came back off the post
and was knocked in but

Matt Ferdinando robbed a defender and went for goal. He
was a little wide but pulled his shot into the far top corner expertly after
73. However, a free header

from a corner after 74 and then Eacott was nudged in
attempting to catch, leading to a drop that was knocked in after 81 put them
level. Somehow though

the ten men broke away and under pressure a defensive pass
across goal wrongfooted the keeper. It looked like a defender would clear the
ball just in front of

Ferdinando but he cleverly blocked the clearance into the
net for a clever winner after 87 and he had another shot cleared off the line
after good work from sub Ali

Dewar in the
final seconds. Our wait for a hat trick at home continues..

Dec 14 Alex McGregor will be suspended for one match
against Windsor. Matt Ferdinando has a three game suspension while Sam
Robinson faces

five games out and both are due to start with the Raynes
Park game on 27th December but it actually becomes the Windsor game on 3rd
January.

Dec 14 Glyn signs two new players Savvas "Agi"
Panayiotou and Daryl Cooper-Smith. The former required international
clearance after a spell in Cyprus.

27/12/14 Raynes Park Vale (A) is p-p for a waterlogged
pitch. Rearranged for 14/02/15 which had been provisionally arranged at the
start of the season.

3/1/15 with three players out suspended the Windsor game
was always going to be difficult and a red card for Dan Dean after 14 minutes
was not the way to

start.We went
one nil down after 30 minutes but four goals in the last fifteen minutes made
the scoreline a flattering 5-0 to Windsor.

Jan 15 Epsom
put in 7 day approach for Robbie Burns who is now training with us again. He
will sign shortly.

Jan 15 However, it appears that Taylor Smith has left the
club for Horsham YMCA. Lyndon Buckwell who was at the Windsor game says he
thought Smith was

going to phone Glyn, but he never did. A strange situation
as they put in a seven day approach for Kyle recently and did everything the
right way. Glyn was not

happy about
this and told Lyndon.

10/1/15 Epsom produce a great performance, particularly in
the second half when defeating Ashford Town at Ashford by three goals to one
to record our first

win there since 2001 and our biggest ever. An early
sending off for Beadle after just ten minutes helped us and as we turned
around goalless Hough opened the

scoring after 54 minutes when McGregor won the ball and
fed Matt Robinson who found him to score from close range. Daryl Cooper-Smith
set up Panayiotou

to score the second goal after 84 after he dummied the
defender before shooting and although we conceded after 89 we went straight
down the other end and

Hough scored again within seconds. One of the better
performances with only Glyn and Matt Smith on the bench and Smith came on in
the closing seconds.

13/1/15 Epsom's game at Molesey is p-p for a waterlogged
pitch after some heavy overnight rain. Prog produced Y and will be used the
following Tuesday.

14/1/15
Committee Meeting advises that Feasibilty Study is in from DeCara Associates.
It concentrates on various proposals and advises that access to the

proposed new site could be the main problem.

17/1/15 Dan Dean suspended for three games starting with
the Farnham match this day. Matt Ferdinando completes his three game
suspension this day.

Jan 15 Also
Luke Gaffney is now playing for his university side and has left the club
while Lionel Mutima has gone to Sheerwater.

17/1/15 Farnham win 4-2 at High Road in a League match.
They led with a near post header in the fifteenth minute but within a minute
Daryl Cooper-Smith

equalised with a great low drive that swerved away from
the keeper from 25 yards. However, they went ahead again after 36 and were
pushing for a third but Alex

McKay then scored with a low drive from just outside the
area in the 41st minute and we were level at HT. We started well in the
second half but didn't take

advantage and we conceded after 68 and 79. A fair result.
Robbie Burns returned to the club and came on as sub for the injured Hough
who had been struggling

with a sore
back all week.

20/1/15 Epsom depart the SSC on a chilly night at
Molesey's new look Walton Road ground. The pitch had been moved from right to
left by about ten yards to

accommodate new housing behind the right hand goal as you
look from the stand. We lead after 27 minutes when Matt Robinson struck the
ball towards

the top corner from outside the box. The ball took a
slight deflection on its way, thudded off the post and the ball went across
into the opposite side netting. It

was a great strike, but Molesey were level within four
minutes with a close range header from a corner while our players were
claiming a foul on the keeper. The

home side appeared to get away with a few things,
including a couple of cynical fouls on the returning Ferdinando who looked
sharp again. We had some

chances but they became more like counter attacks as
Molesey pushed us back and took victory with two late goals after 84 and 93.
In the Molesey side

against us for thee second time this season was Ollie
Robinson, brother of Sam and Matt while former Salt Dre Grobler played for
Molesey.

20/1/15 James
Taylor's 50th appearance v Molesey. Now just three behind father Dave.

Jan 15 George Murphy due to have an operation on a double
hernia on Monday 26th January. Has been playing with the problem for quite a
while and will be

out for four
weeks or so. This is then put back seven days to the following Monday so he
may even play v Westfield.

21/1/15
Meeting with Holding Company, Cara Demetriades, Pauline Russell and EEFC
Committee Members Pete Beddoe, Steve Dyke and Richard Lambert.

Cara has
provided the feasibility study and was present to take questions. It is clear
that the only realistic way forward is a 3g stadium pitch as having both

a grass
and a 3g pitch would be too expensive at this time and NESCOT and The Colts
want / need a 3g pitch asap. Nearby tennis courts were discounted as

an
option to upgrade to 3g because of size, while the big issue related to
access. The pathway from the Banstead Road entrance is too narrow and not in
great

condition,
yet straddles leases from NESCOT, Sutton & Epsom Rugby Club and Old
Suttonians. While none would probably have an issue with improving the

access
road, the costs of doing so are too much for us and because of the leases,
rather complex. However, Cara feels that the site is a good one and basically

has been
"unloved" for a while, an issue we could solve. Additionally All
England Netball are looking at utilising some of this site and may become a
useful

partner although we need to retain sole
ownership of the clubhouse and asociated profits.

While
driving home that evening Richard Lambert had the idea of building a 3g pitch
(but not stadium) to the side of a potential grass one to be added in around

five
years time. In the meantime we would be able to rent out the 3g for longer as
we wouldn't need to use it on Saturdays or Tuesdays if we remained in

Chipstead
for that period, equating to potentially an extra £80k p.a. revenue on top of
current figures. Additionally the cost of providing the 3g pitch only and

not
worrying about making it Step 5 standard would be £220k less i.e. £820k and
that includes an £81k contingency and VAT, both of which we may be able to

reduce a
little from the projected figure. We would train on the new 3g and our only
outlay would be the ground share costs of £9-10k p.a. to Chipstead.

Over the
5 years we would be able to make enough money to raise funds for a new grass
stadium which would be situated directly in front of the clubhouse.

This
option is being considered. Meanwhile a meeting with Planning Officer Sam
Beak from EEBC will take place on 29/01/15 and discussions will ensue
with

Old Suttonians with reference to utilising
their leased area which is effectively next door to NESCOT's bit and may be
an option.

The meeting with Sam Beak would be delayed to
5th March in the end

24/1/15 No
game for Epsom who have a Saturday off due to an original fixture with
Eversley being scheduled for that date.

31/1/15 Westfield (H) is p-p as snow covers the Chipstead
pitch. Game called off quite early though and many others played in the south
east. Prog (16) Y.

2/2/15 George
Murphy undergoes an operation on a double hernia and will be out for a few
weeks.

7/2/15 Camberley score twice after 21 and 22 and a third
after 40 leaves us with a mountain to climb. Matt Robinson pulls one back
after 49 after good work

from Burns who intercepted a defensive pass and set up
Robinson in space. Camberley lost Hubbard to a red card after 58 and then
after 78 sub Daryl

Cooper-Smith then volleyed in a deep Rowe cross but
another defensive error allowed Camberley to get a fourth goal after 80 and
that's how the game finished.

Kyle Hough was
away moving house while Dean and Robinson completed their suspensions.

Feb 14 Jamie Hatfield returnes to the club on a dual
registration from South Park. Not sure how many games he will be available
for though.

14/2/15 Raynes
Park Vale (A) is p-p. Waterlogged. Heavy rain on Friday. Rearranged for
10/3/15.

19/2/15 Ben
Franklin joins club from Ashtead FC.

21/2/15 Two goals from Kyle Hough who only came on after
51 minutes clinched the points in a 2-1 home win over Hartley Wintney. A dull
first half was

followed by a better second, but just as we were getting
on top went behind after 74 to a route one goal. Hough forced in a
Cooper-Smith cross at the near post

after 83 and although he had a one on one saved after 85
he clinched the points after 91 after Farrell had put him through. We
deserved the win for the fight

back but the first half was poor. Sam Currie returned for
his first start since August while Dan Dean and Sam Robinson returned after
suspension but Hough

sat on the
bench as he had a slight injury, although he showed no signs of it when he
came on.

24/2/15 Daryl
Cooper-Smith and Matt Robinson are unavailable due to work while Robbie Burns
has a dead lega nd will miss the match.

24/2/15 Epsom depart the League Cup at home to Camberley
despite leading 2-0 at HT and totally dominating the game. Hough put us ahead
from Farrell's

pass after just 75 seconds and Farrell headed in a
Ferdinando cross after 28. However, other chances weren't taken and once they
had a goal back after 48 we

retreated and were hemmed in. They equalised after 76 from
a free kick and added two more after 83 and 84 to seal their comeback. All 6
goals were at the far

end of the
ground.

25/2/15 Committee Meeting advised that this year's Dave
Wilson Trophy is only likely to be a one off against Chipstead on 1st August.
Other potential friendlies

against St
Francis Rangers and Croydon are very likely. Hassocks, Arundel, Loxwood
Beaconsfield are to be approached.

Also advised
that the Club's Presentation Evening will be on Saturday 25th April at the
Epsom Common Working Men's Club.

The club are also to advertise for a physio for next
season as Glyn needs more help on a match day which Ken Jones currently isn't
providing.

Also there is
to be another Steering Committee Meeting in the second week of March with a
date to be confirmed.

The number of programmes is to be reduced as we are not
selling them all on a match day. For the rest of the season the run will be
45 on a Saturday and 40

on a Tuesday.

The club also confirm that there are no plans to dispense
with the current Management team. It was felt back in September that although
Glyn had the job

on a permanent basis we would want to see how the first
season went before deciding whether to advertise the position, but the club
are happy with the

progress made, despite the League position being lower,
which is as a result of a) a reduction in playing budget and b) the standard
of other clubs improving.

Feb 15 Sam
Robinson confirms he will stay with the club for the season following a
rumour that he had approached Chipstead FC.

Feb 15 New goalkeeper joins the club on a temporary basis
as cover for Michael Eacott who will miss a
game or two in the future. He is Conor Jack Young.

Feb 15 It transpires that Dan Dean may have a broken foot
following a late challenge by a Camberley player on Tuesday. Awaiting a
reduction in swelling

before it can
be confirmed. It was just bruising and he would return sooner than originally
feared.

Feb 15 Ben Franklin a young left back, joins the club from
Ashtead FC after being recommended by former player Jake Downs who lives in
the town.

28/2/15 Molesey (A) is p-p - waterlogged. Michael Eacott
was unavailable this day and Robbie Burns was struggling with a dead leg that
kept him out of the

Camberley match
so not all bad news. Game rearranged for 08/04/15.

3/3/15 A 92nd minute Kyle Hough equaliser enabled us to
get a point from a 1-1 draw at home to Hanworth Villa. They have scored five
injury time goals against

us in our last three visits there so if we were due a late
goal against any team it was this one! However, it was a poor performance
until we went behind but as

with the Hartley Wintney game we picked up from that point
and forced them back. We went behind after 62 minutes to a penalty after
Eacott sent their striker

flying just inside the area. The player was going away
from goal but technically Eacott could have been sent off for violent
conduct. Maybe because it was in the

area,
everyone, including the referee, was thinking about the professional foul
aspect. Their striker received a dislocated shoulder.

3/3/15 Ben
Franklin debut. Unfortunately ended early due to an injury after 39 minutes.
Also Alex McKay's 100th appearance for the club.

5/3/15
Meeting with Cara Demetriades, Steve Dyke, Pete Beddoe and Sam Beak from the
EEBC Planning Team. It didn't start on a positive note with the

council
wondering why we were there but we managed to turn the situation around and
ultimately received advice that confirms there is a requirement for a 3g

facility.
We are also communicating with Glyn School regarding the Glyn Old Boys site
which is also looking for a 3g facility. The clubhouse is not great

though,
particularly in comparison with the NESCOT site and it would always be a
joint arrangement which brings additional complications.

7/3/15 Conor
Jack Young makes his debut in goal as Michael Eacott is unavailable on a work
course.

7/3/15 Kyle
Hough makes his 300th appearance and Sam Robinson makes his 50th appearance
against Cove.

7/3/15 a late Kyle Hough equaliser for the second game in
a row enables us to take a point from title chasing Cove. We had a bad start,
conceding to an

unmarked header from a corner in the 3rd minute and the
first half contained little for us as we struggled to create anything of
note. The second half was better

and Hough equalised from close range after his first shot
from a flicked on corner was blocked and it fell back to him. However four
minutes later we had

conceded to an unmarked header from a corner again. We
changed things around and started to attack with Hough controlling the ball
and swivelling to fire the

ball into the
opposite corner expertly in the 87th minute. He nearly scored a winner but
fired over from Farrell's pass in injury time.

10/3/15 Epsom play well to defeat Raynes Park Vale 2-0 at
a surprisingly dry Grand Drive. We were the better side for much of the game
and led after 22 when

Savvas Panayiotou's left wing cut back to Sam Robinson
enabled him to curl a shot into the far corner from the edge of the box.
Hough had a goal wrongly

disallowed for a handball that wasn't after 72 but scored
anyway after 77 when Robinson put him through and he finished clinically. Dan
Dean was sent off for

a second yellow card two minutes from time and Farrell
received his tenth yellow card so suspensions will follow for them shortly.
First clean sheet for 12 games.

10/3/15 This was Kyle's seventh goal in five games and his
run of scoring in all five is the first time since he did in in August 2013.
However, our eighth red

card of the season sets a new club record. Dean is to be
suspended for two games but the suspension for Farrell hasn't come through
yet, leading to a

hope that they
may not miss the same game. We'll see!

10/3/15 After the game Robbie Burns advised that he was
leaving the club and taking a break. It had nothing to do with him being on
the bench, he just wanted

some time to
sort some other things out and may return in the future.

14/3/15 Epsom win 2-1 at Chertsey for the second time in a
row, following our win there in January 2011. The first time we have ever
done this. We led after 16

minutes when Cooper-Smith met a Rowe free kick to head
past their keeper, the unusually named Adam Faith. We extended our lead after
31 when Hough

found Agi Panayiotou just inside the box with a low left
wing cross, and he touched it before spinning round and hooking the ball into
the far corner with his

right foot. We were well on top but an incident after 67
gave them a penalty and resulted in Cooper-Smith being sent off with a
Chertsey player covered in blood.

He went in to block the player and then pushed him away
but it looks like he caught him and although the officials seemed to miss the
incident, requiring the

Chertsey keeper to run 90 yards to bring it to the ref's
attention, they appeared to go on the evidence they saw following the
incident. They reduced the deficit

from the spot
through Pomroy (who else) and the remainder of the game was a bit closer but
we thoroughly deserved the win.

Former player
Steve Newman played against us and was the player that was hurt following the
penalty incident.

14/3/15 Sam
Robinson, Matt Robinson and Alex McGregor were away. Working, injured and
holiday in that order!

21/3/15 A Kyle Hough hat trick sinks Badshot Lea 3-0 at
High Road. It was our first home clean sheet in the League since October and
it was Kyle's first ever

home hat trick for us. It was our first home hat trick
since January 2009 just short of our club record run of six and a half years.
Sam Currie was rested prior to

our match on Tuesday when we have two players suspended
and so Dan Dean was named Captain for the day with Anthony Panayi
concentrating on his

defensive
duties alongside Alex McKay in a 4-2-3-1 system.

We had a close shave after 5 minutes when Eacott made a
superb low save at full stretch but after a slow first 15 minutes we took
control and won a penalty

after 24 minutes when Ferdinando was bundled over. It was
a soft decision but Hough tucked away the penalty and knocked another in
during the second minute

of injury time from close range and he scored a third
after 86 when he just reached a Taylor through ball ahead of the keeper to
poke it between his legs.

21/3/15 The
Super Six jackpot of £361 is won this day by Tony Ferdinando, father of Matt.
Matt himself got five right!

24/3/15 Epsom concede early but recover well to win 3-1
despite another sending off, this time for Ferdinando after 64 minutes for a
second yellow card. We

were behind after 7 minutes to a clever finish but
equalised after 27 when Robinson's deep free kick was met by Hough with a
super header into the far corner.

He then latched on to a defensive slice to cut outside the
keeper and slot the ball in between the defenders from the edge of the area
after 32 minutes. Hough

was taken out after 59 but their player only got a yellow
card and then we lost Ferdinando but Robinson played a one-two with Hough to
curl the ball twenty

yards over the keeper for our third after 77 minutes and
we deserved the win. Dean and Farrell out suspended while Dewar was injured,
Cooper-Smith was

working and
McGregor was on holiday.

24/3/15 The red
card was our tenth of the season, although we have won six and drawn one of
those ten games!

24/3/15 Kyle
Hough now has 12 goals in his last eight games and twenty eight in his last
twenty eight games!

28/3/15 Kyle gets another two as we win 3-1 at Guildford.
Both teams went into the match with four straight wins and a hard game was
expected. With Sam

Currie returning at right back as James Taylor was away,
we had none of our regular holding midfielders available as Farrell and Dean
were both suspended.

Agi played there and did really well and we controlled
much of the game. Not a lot was created in the first half hour though until
Sam Robinson put Hough

through on the right and as he cut in to go at goal he was
brought down so he tucked away the penalty in the 33rd minute. However a good
run and cut outside

Steve Rowe followed with a fine low shot past Eacott from
just inside the box. From a Sam Robinson free kick in first half injury time
Hough headed his second

goal and his seventh in a week at the far post and after
23 seconds of the second half Matt Robinson cut in on the left and chipped
the ball over the keeper for

our third. Quite a few chances came and went by the end of
an entertaining second half and one Eacott air shot apart we were rarely
troubled.

This is our fifth straight win and we now get Dean and
Farrell back from suspension although Cooper-Smith has another two games left
of his three game

suspension but
will be back for the Molesey game which Ferdinando will miss.

28/3/15 Thomas Gannon debut. Joined from Horsham YMCA and
holds dual registration with Three Bridges. A useful twenty minute cameo as
substitute.

4/4/15 Epsom defeat Colliers Wood 2-1 with another two
goals from Hough. The first from the penalty spot was his ninth of the
season, equalling his club record

that he has done twice previously. It looked a soft
decision as the player appeared to get the ball but the Assistant said that
Matt Robinson was fouled. They

equalised after 49 with a good low strike from the edge of
the area but Hough put us ahead again after 63 with a great finish from a
Currie delivery to him.

Alex McKay and Alex McGregor were away but Dan Dean and
Matt Farrell were back from suspension and James Taylor returned from a game
absent but was

on the bench.
James Kavanagh debut as sub having joined from Molesey.

6/4/15 Our winning run comes to an end at Horley Town who
take the one real chance on offer and win 1-0, scored by former Youth teamer
Ashley Nadesan.

However, this was a nasty game, badly controlled and the
players took the law into their hands too often. Very little actual football
was played by either side as

they cancelled each other out for large periods but after
68 minutes they had a man sent off for icking out at Robinson, only for
Taylor to be sent off

after 79 trying to take a quick throw on. We didn't  play well on a bumpy surface on a warm day
but horley just created the better of the few opportunities that

there were. Ferdinando started his two game suspension
while Robinson will now miss the last two matches of the season after
accumulating his tenth booking

against
Colliers Wood. Alex McKay returned but Matt Robinson was injured and could be
out for a while.

6/4/15
Referee's report advises a booking for Steve Rowe when it should have been
Matt Farrell.

8/4/15 Hammered at Molesey. A clinical performance from
the hosts and they had far too much for us, scoring at regular intervals. The
first was a soft penalty

but the second could have seen Eacott sent off for a foul
but the ref played an excellent advantage so these things even themselves out
over time. Both George

Murphy and
Harry Hoadley returned to the field of play after injury and both did well in
the final half an hour.

8/4/15 Programme issued although it was the one originally
used for the postponed game on 28th February and didn't even contain an up to
date insert.

Apr 15 The club receive an invite from the F.A. to attend
the FA Vase Final this season in commemmoration of our appearance there 40
years ago. Pete

Beddoe, Pete Lumm, Richard Lambert and former striker at
the game Tommy Tuite are the four people selected to have a pre-match meal
and watch from the

Royal Box and Tommy is to be contacted very shortly. It
transpires that Tommy is not available and Paul Marshall will take his place
on the day.

10/4/15
Committee Meeting held in the usual place at the Epsom Common Working Mens
Club on a Friday evening. Much discussed but everything going well.

Relocation
is still moving slowly and we have had a planning meeting with the Council
which was largely unproductive. This was followed by a much more

positive
meeting with Glyn School regarding an operation at the site of the Glyn Old
Boys site further up Priest Hill. They already have planning permission
to

extend
their clubhouse and to build a 3g pitch but not the funds. It is not clear
yet what the arrangement would be and whether we could get the two pitch

option in place but discussions continue and are
moving quicker than any with NESCOT.

11/4/15 Epsom bounce back really well from two defeats to
hand Windsor a 3-0 win on their own pitch and gain revenge for our 5-0 home
defeat in January. The

first half was a wild one with many scoring opportunities
but only one goal, scored with a thumping header by Daryl Cooper-Smith from a
Sam Robinson corner

after just 10 minutes. Ferdinando hit both posts with
separate attempts in this half, the second of which was a great save by the
keeper but mostly Windsor

looked the more dangerous! For the second half we changed
formation to play more narrowly and it worked well with Farrell poking in a
Robinson corner at the

near post after 58 and then Farrell sending in a free kick
that Murphy headed across for Cooper-Smith to score his second with a low
drive after 76. Sam

Currie was out injured after picking up a knock at Molesey
but no one was suspended for this game! Alex McKay took Steve Rowe's place at
left back while

George Murphy
came in for Anthony Panayi. We rise to seventh place with this win, our
highest of the season.

18/4/15 We complete our home campaign with a disappointing
1-2 defeat to Knaphill. An uninspiring game on a dry and dusty surface
although we led when

Farrell drilled in a loose ball from a long throw that
they failed to clear after 24 minutes. A long range effort after 72 levelled
it up and the clinched it with a great

strike from
distance after 93 minutes. A draw would have been fairer but we have played
much better than this before.

Apr 15 Carshalton Athletic approach us through our website
offering a groundshare at Colston Avenue for next season. They intend to have
a 3g facility in place

although it is
likely that we will decline the offer for 2015/16.

Apr 15 former
Committee Member Glen Connett suffers a heart attack and is now recovering.

25/4/15 Epsom score five at Frimley for the third time in
a row and the third time in thirteen months as we recover from conceding an
early goal to win 5-1. We

conceded a good low strike past the unsighted Eacott in
just the 6th minute but Hough made it 1-1 after 13 when he poked in
Cooper-Smith's cross and Agi

Panayiotou put us ahead after 36 with a strike across the
keeper into the far corner. Frimley were struggling for players and had their
coach in goal and he did

well to deny Hough on a couple of occasions before he
knocked in a loose ball after Agi's shot had been parried after 66 minutes.
Hough put the ball in from

the left for Cooper-Smith to drill the ball in at the far
post after 73 and we made it 5-1 after 83 when a corner to Hough on the edge
of the area resulted in a low

shot that looped up off the keeper's foot and Farrell got
there first to head in from close range. Farrell scored in the first and the
last game this season.

25/4/15 Sam Robinson completed his final suspension of the
season while James Taylor started his three game suspension this day with two
to follow next

season. The win confirms a seventh place finish. Also
Steve Rowe booked in this match despite not actually playing in it. Was an
unused sub.

25/4/15 With
just two minutes remaining Glyn Mandeville came on to make his debut for the
club!
