18/= 8/90 M.Clark joins from Sutton United

16/= 9/90 Gary Greenaway joins Corinthian-Casuals from Leatherhead

22= /9/90 Epsom fight back after trailing 2-0 at home to Cove and take a 2-2 at West Stre= et. Cove's first visit.

13= /10/90 Shambles in an away game with Camberley Town. Their season started with t= he closure of their ground

3/= 11/90 Shoreham game kicked off fifteen minutes late due to the linesmen having = an accident on their way�
