Wednesday 21st October - Our next match at Camberley Town is on Saturday, and, as always, we have a hugely informative and stat-filled preview for the contest. Enjoy!
Wednesday 21st October - Callum O'Keeffe, Will Davies and Ryley Merrett have left the club for pastures new and we wish them good luck. Coming in from Knaphill is Callum McAllister; a player who has also played at Fleet Town, Redhill and Amersham Town.
Tuesday 20th October - A three goal burst in the first half ensured Alton had a comfortable 3-0 win at Chalky Lane in our latest League match. Goals came after 17, 27 and 39 minutes and left us hanging precariously above the relegation spaces with some difficult matches coming up.
Saturday 17th October - Despite being no worse than our opponents, we departed the League Cup at Ardley United 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 draw. We led early on with a good strike from Frankie Lynn, but two equally good strikes gave the hosts the lead at the interval before Djazton Mandica's first goal for the club crept in at the far post for a late equaliser, but the penalty shootout did not go well with our boys missing four of them for the first time ever to end our winning shootout run of six matches. It was also disappointing that only four people from Epsom made the journey, and all of those held club roles, meaning that a total of ZERO supporters made the journey to Ardley. This is what happens when a club Committee doesn't engage with its supporters, and alienates many of the long-serving ones just for having different opinions. Strangely, our Joint Manager Max Johnson has recently referred to thanking the supporters that were there, and that it was good to see many familiar faces while at the game, but the only "familiar faces" he would have seen were in our dressing room! It would be a shame if the one page of interest in the club programme was to be compromised by more propaganda like this.
Tuesday 13th October - We secured a comfortable victory against Step Six Molesey with a 4-0 win in this Southern Combination Cup tie. Antonios Nazareth scored our opener in the first half, before the visitors had a player sent off. In the second half, Angel Montes received two yellows in quick succession to reduce us to ten men too, but three goals in the final fifteen minutes made the result look a little more flattering. The referee was Dele Sotimirin who had a hand in our cup win two seasons ago after unwittingly sin-binning Luke Miller in an earlier round which led to a replay where we progressed!
Tuesday 13th October - A recent meandering article in the match programme bizarrely claimed that the variance between the recently advised club appearances (from mine) were because they had been advised by the League that abandoned matches wouldn't count; referring to the Badshot Lea match that was called off at half time last season. Leaving aside that some of the variances were for players who weren't involved in that particular match, I should clarify that responsible clubs are surely capable of making their own decisions on appearances, referring to their club Historians where necessary, particularly when different Leagues have different views.
Imagine telling a striker that their goal in an abandoned match didn't count, or that a young player hadn't made their debut, when they had, and then cowardly attempting to deflect the blame for that towards the League, just to try and pretend this website doesn't exist, even though they recently took some of my information from it and passed it off as their own! Long before I started supporting way back in 1981, the club counted these matches, so I always will. We always have accurate stats here and if you ever read stats produced by the club, then take them with a pinch of "Salt" or better still, check them here!

This website contains an enormous amount of information and gets thousands of page views each month, which is humbling, bearing in mind the level at which the club I support plays at! It also contains a vast and detailed Historical Archive which is not just restricted to our club. If you wish to place a reciprocal advert here, or even sponsor the site itself, just drop me a line and your help can enable me to expand the site still further! The site is clearly in need of modernisation, but given the choice, I'd always prefer to have information and accuracy as the main priorities, ahead of a few random pictures of player huddles!
