E & E Ladies moved to Dorking, where they changed
their name in 95/96. This season they remain as E & E Ladies.

They were founded as Prism YC GFC in 1975 and entered the
Hounslow and District WFL and although staying in the

Hounslow League
they moved to Reigate in 1979 and took on the name of LFC Reigate.

In 1981/82 the Ladies moved to the Sussex Martlet WFL and
in 1984/85 a Reserve Team was formed, playing in the

Second Division
of Two in that League.

Ladies changed their name to Epsom & Ewell Ladies in
1992 to co-inside with the ground sharing arrangement at Epsom.

Reserves (and
Thirds?) play at Reigate Priory FC, Priory Park.

The Reserves won the Junior Cup in 1989/90 the Reserve
Team Cup in 1990/91 and the Chairman's Cup in 1991/92. With

Crystal Palace Reserves winning the Chairman's Cup in
1992/93 they created a new competition, the Reserve Team Cup

with Reserve
teams being ineligible for the Chairman's Cup. The Reserves would win this
against Lewes Reserves.

In 1991/92 they
had won the Chairman's Cup 4-0 as Reigate Res over Farnborough (Hants).

Alan Gardiner formed the Ladies club in 1975 and was
Manager until they entered the National League, when he took on

the Reserve
Team instead.

Reserves played
in Blue shirts and white shorts according to the programme for the Final.

According to the Redhill Ladies website Janet Carpenter is
still playing and Alan Gardiner is still involved, having founded

the original
Friends Provident Club in 1971 before they merged with Prism. However, this
was written in 2001!

It also says that the club's move to Epsom was dependent
on them changing their name to Epsom & Ewell Ladies.

Redhill Ladies still appear to be playing in the South
East Counties Premier Division after this but dates are unknown.

24/4/94 Epsom can no longer get promotion and have had a
month off with p/p matches, losing 3-0 at Hemel Hempstead.

1/5/94 Appears no game for Ladies as report says their
next game is at home on 8/5/94. This must be Maidstone match

which must have
been p/p from 17/4/94.

8/5/94 Last
home game of season at Meadowbank and beat Maidstone 3-0. Last game is
Hassocks (A) on 22/5.

Full apps for
season up to and inc 27/2/94 in programme 6/3/94 v Hemel Hempstead. + lots of
other info.

Last Res game of the season against Charlton Athletic was a
2-1 loss. I have calculated this from an earlier League table in

Pagham prog when we had played 17. Date unknown as yet.

Third Team won one and lost one of their last two matches
with GD of F2 A2 both on or after 17/4/94. this is harder to

calculate, but unlikely to have been St Georges or Three
Bridges and couldn't have been Chailey, Crowborough 2nds or

Lewes Mca Res as we had played them twice. Results can only
have been either a 2-0 and 2-0 loss OR

a 2-1 win and a 1-0 loss OR a 1-0 win and a 2-1 loss

Dorking Advertiser and Surrey Mirror this season. Check for missing bits one
