Jun 25 A number of players are retained from last seas= on as the club appears to be keeping a settled squad. Two new players join in Connor McShane from Langley and previously Molesey and Windsor,�

and = Tom Collins (South Park Reigate and AFC Croydon Athletic before that).

Jun 25 Only 5 friendlies are announced, and they appea= r a bit random with no Step 5 opponents of any kind. Instead we face Step 3 C= ray Valley PM and Step 7 Richmond & Kew! Also no mention of the

Stel= la Lamont Trophy and it will be interesting to see whether they devalue it by tryin= g to cram it in to some random friendly or miss it entirely.

4/7/= 25 We have an exemption to the Second Round in the FA Vase but in the FA Cup we face Larkfield & New Hythe away on Saturday 2nd August.

Jul = 25 former player Matt Tanton joins Tooting & Mitcham United after spending eight years at Sutton Common Rovers.

4/7/25 We defeat Richmond & Kew 5-1 at the Madgwick but it was a closer match than this and although we led through new signi= ng Tom Collins in the 23rd minute, they equalised in the 32nd and it took us=

until the 73rd minute to break through with a thirty yarder from Niall Stillwell. A cross from Toby Young eluded everyone and crept in at the far post two minutes later and an 83r minute Adam Green penalty for

handball and a close range Callum Wilson header in the 92nd minute ensured a flattering scoreline. Maybe we are just much fitter than the other teams. We'll find out against Step 3 Cray Valley PM on

Wedn= esday.

9/7/25 A late 88th minute winner for Cray Valley PM as they defeat us 2-1. We led with a superb Tom Collins free kick into the t= op corner after 7 but they were level in the 14th with a close range header.=

July 25 The club announces that the club's new Women's Manager is to be Piran Manecksha and claim that he is the youngest Manage= r in Senior English Women's football, although whether our Women's�

tea= m really play at a Senior level is debateable. Also, it seems unlikely our club co= uld have done research on every other club in the six tiers above them to pro= ve this fact.�

12/7/25 We laboured to a 1-1 draw at home to Step Six Westside. Oblitey chipped the keeper off his line from 40 yards in the 23= rd minute, but an equally high quality equalising strike followed just four<= /td>

minu= tes later. We had more of the ball, but didn't threaten enough to say we deserved mo= re than a draw.

14/7/25 Opening fixtures are out and we are scheduled = to open up at home to Guildford City on Friday 25th July, even though we were supposed to have a friendly the next day against Cove. We also host

Balham on a Friday evening 8th September as it becomes clear that we are going to play home matches on a Friday night. Ironically this may help attendances with floating spectators, but it won't get new<= /td>

ones. CCL also advises that it is not clear whether Chessington & Hook United's grouind is up to Step Five yet, although = it can't need that much work as they were only Step Five themselves a few ye= ars back.

19/7/25 Club arranged an in house training match betwe= en Blues and Yellows which finished 3-3 at Cobham on the Saturday morning. A= few Colts under 18s were used to make up the numbers and the club

kept= news of the match quiet so that supporters were unable to attend, should they have wa= nted to. No real surprise there.

19/7/25 It is confirmed that our friendly against Cove will still go ahead on 26th July, despite having a League fixture the nig= ht before against Guildford City. Still no mention of any Stella Lamont Trop= hy match.

21/7/25 An extra league fixture is advised by the Leag= ue for Tuesday 29th July as we visit Tadley Calleva. However, this was an er= ror on the FA site and the fixture is cancelled as Tadley were hosting Eversl= ey!

July 25 New registrations for our club include Kingsley Anokye, Filip Ksaidz, Obasanjo Akinniranye, Ben Grummitt (gk), Emmanuel L= impo and Luis Oliveira. In addition Ethan Brazier and Ayran Kugathas have�

rejoined, while Zakharia Belbachir has rejoined after singing towards the end of last season. Others rejoining but not announced are Conrad Essilfie-Conduah and Kionte Gillfillian-Waul, while Faebian Witter�

also= returns to the club after being dual registered last season. Intriguingly Craig Dund= as has not registered for this season yet.

Anokye played for Knaphill last season and was at Camberley Town in 2023/24. Grummitt was at Camberley Town last season and= was previously at Langley, Bedfont and Chessington & Hook United. Limpo w= as

also= at Langley last season while Oliveira was at Spartans Youth last season and at Hillingdon Borough in the two seasons prior to that.

22/7= /25 Tom Collins is not on the registration list. Has he left already?

25/7/25 We defeat Guildford City 3-0 with an eight min= ute second half burst of goals. It was a fairly even first half but we led af= ter Kingsley Anokye squared for Miller to drive in from the edge of the area = in the

58th minute and Anokye ran through and calmly guided t= he ball beyond the keeper from 12 yards to make it 2-0 in the 62nd minute. T= hen Nelsono-Roberts found Fofahan in the area and his low shot from the

pena= lty spot vicinity beat the keeper. A confident start.

25/7= /25 Debuts for Kingsley Anokye, Luis Oliveira, Connor McShane, Obasanjo Akinniranye = and Kallum Peart.

25/7/25 Club charges �10 for entry and �3 for a progra= mme, despite our lowly finish last season. The programme is no different to la= st year's, but the club describes it as "only �3" Criminal!

26/7/25 We lose 7-2 to Cove in only the second match t= o be played in the Borough since 1993. The game took place at Epsom & Ewell High School and we played a lot of reserves and Colts players with

inev= itable consequences. We were 5-0 down before we found the net to reduce the scor= e to 5-2 before conceding two late goals.

27/7/25 More League fixtures are out but we are schedu= led to be at home to Corinthian-Casuals at 11.30 am on the Bank Holiday morni= ng although Cobham are home to Guildford at that time, so this match

may be moved to later in the day or switched to the KG= F. In the end it is moved to 5pm which means that no supporters can get there from a 3pm kickoff, knocking potentially a hundred off the gate.

2/8/25 We defeat Larkfield & New Hythe 3-0 at New Hythe Lane in the FA Cup and will now host South Park Reigate in the Preliminary Round. We weathered a bit of early pressure but led in the 25= th minute

with a clever Brendan Murphy-McVey free kick which wrongfooted the keeper, then a keeper clearance went straight to Anokye w= ho sent the ball back into the net from 25 yards in the 67th minute. Finally another

keeper error resulted in a penalty after he brought An= okye down after he had robbed him of the ball. A red card was also issued and Green struck the penalty past an outfield player Brian Zepo instead in th= e

98th= minute. This was a very solid performance.

5/8/= 25 Corinthian Casuals advise that our match with them is now their home matc= h on 25/08/25 and at 11.30am. Much more sensible.

7/8/25 BBC London News carries the story about our clu= b's treatment of a loyal and dedicated supporter. It was seen by thousands of people and will be picked up by more sources shortly.

8/8/25 We defeat Balham 3-1 at the Madgwick in a stran= ge match where we led through Anokye's smart finish in the 41st minute, but = then had Faebian Witter sent off for delaying (second yellow) in the 59th and<= /td>

Adam Green went in between the posts. However, Young headed us 2-0 up in the 66th and although the visitors got one back in the 73rd and pushed for an equaliser, hitting our bar, we made the game safe<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>�

with an Anokye penalty in the 96th minute after Akinniranye was brought down by the Balham keeper. It was our first win o= ver Balham in normal time at the ninth attempt. Ryan-Bailey Stedman-Hoyte made debut.

9/8/= 25 "The Epsom story" appears in the Sun and the Metro papers and is also cov= ered by the Epsom and Ewell Times and Radio Jackie.

9/8/25 Carl Oblitey has joined Chipstead. The club doe= sn't even acknowledge his departure. Also it appears as though Carl Boorer is = no longer on the Committee. Again no news from the club.

15/8/25 Debuts for Tom Collins and Ben Grummitt as we = lead 2-0 but have to settle for a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup at home to South Park Reigate. Miller scored with a low volley from a Murphy-McVey left wing

vcross in the 20th minute and Anokye blocked a defensi= ve clearance into the path of Green who finished well from an angle in the second minute of injury time. We had other chances but South Park improve= d

nota= bly after the break and we conceded in the 62nd and 74th minutes, the latter of whi= ch was a penalty for handball against Young. Replay on Tuesday.

Aug 25 Filip Ksiadz and Sean-Michael Anderson leave the club and are both given glowing send offs, clearly in response to my comm= ents about Oblitey! Also Araran Subramaniam has joined Molesey.

15/8/25 Club sells out of programmes at 7pm, despite knowing that there would be a large crowd (224) full of hoppers who love a programme and the issues contained many errors. A reprint is to be made t= oo

afte= r notable errors were made in the programme format. A bit embarrassing.

18/8= /25 The FA Cup draw gives us a home tie against Risborough Rangers if we can get past South Park Reigate in our replay.

19/8/25 We win our replay 2-1 at South Park Reigate af= ter an 88th minute penalty from Adam Green clinched the tie. We led in the 8th minute when Stillwell headed in a Miller cross from 6 yards, but they�

equalised in the 57th. However, they had a man sent off for a stamp in the 61st minute and then Akinniranye won a penalty after h= is run was ended and Green hit it straight through the keeper.

Craig Dundas came on as a sub near the end to make his 50th appearance. We will host Risborough Rangers on Saturday 30th August.= Not sure why we aren't sticking with the Friday.

This= also means that our match at home to Abbey Rangers is moved back from Friday 29th August.

For = the second time this season Kallum Peart makes a sub appearance but is then subbed o= ff!

23/8= /25 We are drawn at home to Farnham Town in the Surrey Senior Cup on Tuesday 30th September.

25/8/25 We lose 2-1 at Corinthian-Casuals after a 90th minute free kick clinches the points. We were the better side, but traile= d in the 61st minute, although Anokye levelled it up three minutes later after= he

forced in a close range shot off the keeper and into t= he roof of the net. However, Young was sent off in the 71st minute after a f= oul that was deemed as DOGSO and we lost it right at the end.

25/= 8/25 Jermaine Green joins on a dual registration from Chertsey Town while Andr= ew Herring comes in from Bedfont. Both make their debuts at Corinthian-Casua= ls.

It t= urns out Andrew Herring is from Bedfont Sports, not Bedfont as originally asdvised= and he has come in on a dual registration.

Aug 25 Not sure why this fixture even appears but our League match at Sutton Common Rovers on 20th September will not take plac= e as they have a Vase tie on that date and this was known back in early July!<= /td>

28/8= /25 our match at Alton is now scheduled for Tuesday 21/10/25

30/8/25 We defeat Risborough Rangers 2-1 with a 96th minute winner from Aiwone who headed in a Miller corner from close range = to reach the second qualifying round of the FA Cup for the first time since<= /td>

2000. We led in the 57th minute after Oliveira was bun= dled over in the area and Green tucked away the penalty, but they equalised in= the 70th minute. Former Salt Gary Meakin was Manager of Risborough

Rangers. Callum Wilson 50th appearance. A pathetic attendance that was also under-reported so that we didn't have to give our opponents any gate money. Max Johnson was suspended for this match.

Aug 25 The branch I had been using to sit on has been removed, professionally cut down with a chainsaw. It's obvious that the c= lub did this to try and stop me watching, but I just went to another tree!

1/9/= 25 We draw Eastbourne Borough away in the FA Cup. They are Step 2.

1/9/25 The League gives Epsom approval to move to Chessington & Hook from the coming weekend. The Knaphill match is lik= ely to be moved from Friday 5th September to Saturday 6th September. Not yet<= /td>

clea= r whether they will do this or wait until the next home match scheduled for 16th September.

It then turns out that the move will not happen until = the Thatcham Town match, now on 11th October. It looks like the club are goin= g to try and hold matches on a Friday if they can, which would be sensible.

Aug = 25 Leo Cunningham joins from Colliers Wood. Also Damian Cech joins and Teddy Ral= ph joins from Spartans Youth, having been at Langley previously.

Sep 25 Our club decides to provide a supporters coach = for the journey to Eastbourne Borough, although from the times they advise (arrival at 2pm), it clearly isn't taking the players. Will be interestin= g to see�

how = many they get, even at a discounted figure of �5.

5/9/= 25 It is 100 years ago today since we played our first match at West Street.

5/9/25 We draw 2-2 at home to Knaphill in our latest League match at Cobham, but were 2-0 up after 34 minutes and good value f= or it. Green struck a penalty away in the 21st minute after Andrew Herring�

had been tripped in the area, and Anokye cut in from t= he left to lift his shot over former Salt Harvey Keogh in the 34th. Witter g= ave away a penalty in the 39th minute and a 90th minute equaliser gave them a�

poin= t, but it was a fair result over the 90 minutes.

9/9/25 We had an entertaining 0-0 draw with Badshot Le= a. Adam Green saw his penalty saved in the 33rd minute after putting it in t= he same place as his previous penalty which our Media team decided to put

onli= ne, despite being warned about handing opponents an advantage previously. As usual, t= hey think they know best.

13/9/25 We departed the FA Cup 4-0 at Step Two Eastbou= rne Borough who just had too much for us. We started well, but conceded after= 21, 30, 66 and 94. We also had Green sent off in the first minute�

of = the second half and then lost Witter with a suspected concussion, with Toby Young go= ing in goal. An unlucky day, but even without the bad luck, we wouldn't have = got anything here.

Club= runs a second coach, separating the players from the supporters for the first ti= me in years. Not clear how many used it, despite the cheap price of �5.�

16/9/25 We won our fourth penalty shootout of the cale= ndar year as we defeated Ashford Town 4-2 on penalties following an even 1-1 d= raw. We had Oliveira sent off somewhat harshly in the 50th minute but then

took the lead five minutes later as Herring scored with his second attempt, only for us to concede five minutes later. Debuts for Damian Cech (16), son of Chelsea legend Petr, and for Leo Cunningham when= he

came= on on the second half. We are now in the last 16 of the League Cup. Cech saved two penalties in the shootout.

16/9= /25 former Manager Darren Anslow leaves his role at Phoenix Sports after a year in t= he role.

Sept= 25 Zach Ingham-Wright is at Abbey Rangers.

Sept= 25 Harry Roy Murphy registers for our club. He played briefly for Horley Town last season.

Sept= 25 Oliveira and Green are suspended for three matches, starting with the trip to Cobh= am.

Sep= t 25 Two more new players join. Jason Vincent from Spartans and previously Knaphil= l, and Jake Brown� (Guildford City) = join and both make their debuts as subs against Cobham

Sep= t 25 former player Jayden Barber joins South Park Reigate. A former Fulham Academy pl= ayer he represented Aston Villa U23 and England U18. He is only 20 now.

23/9/25 Cobham ease to a 2-0 win, even scoring a second goal when they were down to ten men after their first goal scorer Osborne= had been sent off. Goals came after 49 and 82 and we threatened rarely.

23/9= /25 Debuts for Jason Vincent and Jake Brown.

26/9= /25 Kingsley Anokye joins Step Two Eastbourne Borough. He had started well for us, but= it was still a surprise to see him move three steps higher.�

26/9/25 Despite the absence of Anokye, we defeated Chipstead 3-1 with greater firepower than our opponents and three differe= nt scorers. We led in the 41st minute after Jake Brown put a ball in from the�

right for Herring to sweep home from twelve yards. Vin= cent scored his first goal in the 50th minute after controlling and the sendin= g a shot into the bottom corner from twelve yards� and although�

Stillwell picked up a second yellow card in the 78th minute we scored a third on the break after a good run from Akinniranye w= ho squared to the unmarked Fofahan who picked his spot from ten yards. Chips= tead

got= a consolation with a great strike in the 95th minute. Debuts for Che Bell, = who has an enormous throw, and Ryley Jude Merrett. Club hasn't advised where = they came from.

Sept= 25 It transpires that Che Bell is the son of actor Geoff Bell. He joins from Hampton & Richmond Borough Youth.

30/9/25 our final home match at Cobham ends in a heavy= 5-1 defeat by Step Three Farnham Town in the Surrey Senior Cup. We never real= ly got going and a burst of goals just before HT gave them a 5-0 lead

at the break! Goals came after 17,32,40,43,45. We got = one back after Fofahan finished well in the 75th minute but the match had been over as a contest for a while by then. Teddy Ralph debut as a sub.

4/10/25 We lose 2-1 to Tadley Calleva in the League wi= th all the goals coming in the first half. We trailed in the 14th but when Fofahan was brought down we equalised with a Green penalty in the 20th minute.

Tadley then went ahead again in the 26th but in the 35= th we earned another penalty after Green's header was knocked away by the sc= orer of their second goal Alex Miller who was then sent off. However, Green

the= n saw his penalty saved and despite the man advantage and the strong wind in our fa= vour in the second half, we failed to break through for an equaliser, let alon= e a winner.

Oct = 25 Warren Colman rejoins Horley from East Grinstead Town.

Oct = 25 We are given a fixture at Abbey Rangers on Tuesday 02/12/25.

11/= 10/25 The security guard returns again to try and keep me out at our new ground of Chessington & Hook United. Britain's unfriendliest club have no inter= est in their own reputation.

11/10/25 Thatcham Town are defeated 4-0 and are very disappointing. We scored twice through Miller in the 3rd minute and the 8= th, with the second goal being a deflection off a defender, before Miller�

then set up Fofahan for a tap in in the 45th minute. We remained on top, restricting their chances and scored a fourth in the 82nd minute when McShane's right wing delivery was tapped in at the far post�

by A= kinniranye from close range. Debut for Harry Murphy who joined from Merstham on loan (dual registration), although also played for Horley Town.

12/10/25 AGM at Chalky Lane attended by just 15 people= and the club took the opportunity to amend a number of club rules, with the m= ain change being that officials are now elected for three years, surely a

constutional red flag and particularly concerning seei= ng as Carl Boorer and Peter English lasted less than a season each. Of course this wasn't challenged by the members who are mostly Committee and their<= /td>

fami= lies. Change is needed soon here. All current officials re-elected unsurprisingly.

14/= 10/25 An 82nd minute goal consigns us to a 0-1 defeat at home to Tooting & Mitcham, who were the last Step Five team to win at Epsom, back in April.= It was an even match.

Oct = 25 Shane Dunne, Nathan West and Conrad Worrell-Scott all register for us. Our club hasn't sadvised where any have come from yet.

18/10/25 A 97th minute equaliser forces us to settle f= or a 2-2 draw after we had led 2-0 at the half at Kiln Brow. We took the lead = in the 23rd minute when Brendan Murphy-McVey guided his downward header

past the keeper from six yards and four minutes later a good crossfield pass from Dunne on his debut set up Fofahan to drill his = shot below the advancing keeper, but we conceded in the 55th minute and then

had that late equaliser. Nick Inwugwu and Tommy Smith = were in the Redhill side which was Managed by former player and Manager Sam Morgan. Shane Dunne debut (Hanworth Villa).

Once again we had an issue as Barry Gartell marched up= to the area the players went off to berate the referee about the timekeeping, the amount of which, we thought was completely fair. Embarrassing!

20/1= 0/25 We draw Eastbourne United away in the last 128 of the FA Vase to be played on Saturday 8th November.

21/10/25 Poor performance at Alton but somehow we resc= ued a draw with two late goals. Alton had a man sent off for kicking Toby You= ng in the 26th minute, yet we went behind to a penalty eight minutes later�

and struggled to break the opposition down before conceding again in the 84th minute. Ayran Kugathas scored his first goal = for us with a good run and strike into the top corner in the 86th minute and<= /td>

despite a large scuffle in the 90th minute after an Al= ton player hit the fencing, we equalised in the 94th minute after a good run = from Akinniranye who pulled the ball back for Jason Bloor to score from 8 yard= s. It

was = his first match back from injury.

25/10/25 An 87th minute equaliser from former Salt Will Kendall enabled Horley to steal a point from a 1-1 draw at Chalky Lane. We had led after Green had set up Limpo for a low finish from ten yards, but= we

fail= ed to push on from that and got caught with a sucker punch.

27/10/25 A terrible night ends in a 6-0 defeat at Carshalton Athletic by Sutton Common Rovers with Courtney Swaby scoring t= hree times in the first 16 minutes, the third of which was a penalty. Two more=

fol= lowed after 29 and 35 to leave us five down at the break and a sixth goal came after = 50 minutes, but that's how it ended. 50th appearances for Nazareth and Stillwell.

Oct = 25 Kallum Peart has left and is now playing for Guildford City. Kiyo Brown also lea= ves for Corinthian-Casuals.

1/11/25 Despite Camberley going down to ten men in the 56th minute we were 2-0 down after goals in the 63rd and 65th minute and although we scored one in the 91st minute as Merrett scored his first for= our

club with a thumping, if unmarked header from Fofahan's corner, we failed to secure the points against yet another team playing w= ith ten men and lost 2-1. Callum O'Keeffe joins on a dual registration from�

Hamp= ton & Richmond Borough while Karl Bailey also joins from Harrow Borough. Both m= ade their debuts.

Nov = 25 Ryley Merrett is on a dual registration with Loxwood and is mostly playing for them.

3/11/25 Adam Green announces he is leaving the club. I= t is disappointing that he doesn't thank the supporters in his statement, alth= ough he did at least tag in the supporters X account. Our club makes no�

comment for twenty hours, yet manages to advertise club scarves during that period. Almost as if our club either wasn't bothered,= or have to get every statement cleared by our club's inner circle. Embarrass= ing!

4/11/25 We held on for a 1-1 draw at home to Abbey Ran= gers after leading in the 32nd minute after Oliveira set up Vincent for a close range finish. Oliveira then received a second yellow card just after Abbe= y

had = equalised in the 67th minute. We created little from that point and held on until the = end for the draw.

4/1= 1/25 Programme numbered as 11 this day when it should have been 12. Our club l= ater re-issues it on its website with a number 12 on it, but this wasn't the official issue.

8/11= /25 We depart the Vase to a 47th minute wonder strike from 30 yards at Eastbourne United. It was a poor match with few chances.

8/1= 1/25 Adam Green makes his debut for Fleet Town. It was rumoured via Peter O'Donovan that Green was going to get �250 a week there which seems unlikely but�..=

Nov = 25 Our home match against Horley Town will take place on Tuesday 25th November.

11/11/25 We blow another lead as we dominate the first half against Eversley & California, only to concede direct from a cor= ner in the 77th minute and settle for a 1-1 draw, despite the visitors having= a man sent

off in the 90th minute after an altercation with Murphy-McVey who was also booked. We led in the 43rd minute after a poor clearance to Merrett led to a ball in for Fofahan who was tripped as he t= ried to turn. He

then= got up and struck the penalty away, but the game had a familiar ending.

Nov = 25 Tyler Robinson joins from Bedfont Sports. He is a powerfully built striker.

15/11/25 We edge a 4-3 win at Sheerwater and although = it was deserved, we lost two leads and needed an 87th minute winner. We led after Collins followed up to head in after Bloor's shot was blocked in th= e

6th minute and Collins made it 2-0 in the 40th minute = with a superb free kick from a wide angle that nestled in the far top corner. However, goals after 50 and 53 made it all square and we needed a thirty<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>�

yarder from Murphy-McVey to put us ahead again, only to conceded in the 85th minute. O'Keeffe took advantage of a kindly ricochet= to round the keeper with the defence appealing for offside. It was

our = first away league win of the season and our first over Sheerwater for fifty years. T= yler Robinson debut.

22/1= 1/25 Jason Vincent leaves for Redhill. Clearly the arrival of Tyler Robinson has pus= hed him down the list.

22/11/25 Our League match at home to Badshot Lea is abandoned at half time with the score 0-0. We were well on top before the interval which ended with the referee concerned about an area in the midd= le of

the pitch. We had a female referee for possibly the fi= rst time in our history. The decision looked a little premature, but the rain= did continue throughout what would have been the second half. Our much�

hera= lded pitch work in the summer fails its first test. The match will be replayed at a later date.

25/11/25 Horley Town (H)(SCC) is also p-p despite no r= ain on the Monday or Tuesday. Not good. Prog issued (15) but none were printe= d, except for two possessed by Richard Lambert and Paul Merrett.�

It a= ppears that our club are getting lazy on the programmes.

25/11/25 Our home match with Badshot Lea has been rearranged for Tuesday 16th December and our final match at home to Fleet Town is on Saturday 11th April. Our last two matches are now against Flee= t!

27/11/25 it is announced that former regular supporter Pete "Grandad" Grover passes away at the age of 81. Pete used t= o be a regular at West Street and often worked behind the bar there, occasiona= lly driving

the = team coach to away matches as he was an HGV driver.

29/11/25 We just lose 2-1 at Tooting & Mitcham Uni= ted in another niggly match with lots of cards for both sides. We went behind= to a harsh penalty against Nazareth in the 16th minute and then conceded aga= in

in the 46th minute. We were more of a threat in the se= cond half and pulled one back in the 67th minute from Robinson after a couple = of earlier shots had been blocked, but were unable to score an equaliser.�

After the match there were a few scuffles and cards we= re issued to former Manager Jamie Byatt and one of our Assistants. It was an unpleasant match, low on quality but high on incident.

2/12/25 We secure a good 2-0 win at playoff chasing Ab= bey Rangers with a pair of goals from Herring. His first in the 31st minute c= ame after Oliveira set up Fofahan whose shot was blocked by the keeper and�

Her= ring followed up. Then in the 56th minute when he was on the end of a low Nelson-Roberts cross to fire the ball in from a narrow angle at the far p= ost. It was a deserved win.

Dec = 25 Horley Town (H)(SCC) has been rearranged for Tuesday 13th January.

Dec = 25 Milton United withdraw from League Cup so we will now host Sutton Common Rovers = in the Third Round on Tuesday 6th January.

6/12= /25 Guildford City (A)(L) is p-p - waterlogged. Prog Y. - rearranged for 28th March

9/12/25 We win a hastily arranged friendly at Bedfont Sports 5-2 with some good goals. Bailey scored the first in the 14th minu= te as he finished off a Nazareth volley back from a deep corner, and althoug= h it

was 1-1 in the 22nd minute we led in the 31st minute a= fter a great cross from Brazier was met with a superb header into the top corn= er by Herring. We extended our lead in the 53rd minute after Oliveira set�

up Robinson to strike and Herring smahed in his second goal in the 60th minute from a Bailey pull back. We conceded a second in = the 76th minute when scored our fifth in the 79th when triallist Frasier Osun= koya

stru= ck at goal and although it was well saved, Leo Cunningham tucked away the loose ball= .

Dec 25 Former Manager Warren Burton returns to take ch= arge at Fleet Town, only a few weeks after leaving. Their Manager was sacked a= mid lots of charges of failing to pay players, but whether that was his

faul= t, we will probably find out if he gets another job shortly.

13/12/25 We received a lesson as Cobham beat us 4-0 at Chalky Lane. They dominated throughout and led in the 17th minute, which = they extended in the 37th minute after a Nabbad error when he let a free�

kic= k through his legs. Further goals came in the 62nd and 85th minute and although we didn't help ourselves with some individual errors, the scoreline was a fa= ir one.

13/= 12/25 former players Les Peck, Tony Coombe and Tim Tweedy were in attendance at this m= atch which was played in front of 71 people, despite the club making it up aga= in as 101.

Dec = 25 former player Lewis Pearch returns to Horley Town from Fleet Town.

16/12/25 Our club announce that they will only be producing a digital programme for the Badshot Lea match, due to some crap= py excuse about "tight printing deadlines" We all know when Christ= mas is coming,�

and the club should have planned for this. This is the first time we have deliberately failed to produce a printed programme sin= ce 1975, when we had many in a week due to our Vase run backlog. Embarrassin= g

and lazy from our Committee who continue to insult our supporters, not that many buy the programme anyway, seeing as it is way overpriced and lacking in any significant content. We used to get them done�

free= by Kall Kwik, yet they seem to be no longer involved. Another cock up from our Committee.

16/12/25 Our worst home defeat for thirteen years came= out of the blue at home to Badshot Lea, in our replayed League match, despite= us being the better side in the original abandoned fixture. We conceded to

a really good goal in the 8th minute and really created little from that point, conceding in the 22nd, 26th, 55th, 59th and 88th minutes with the third and sixth goals coming from the penalty spot. An abject

per= formance from our boys. Nathan West and Zacharia Belbachir debuts, although they h= ad been at our club for a while, so I think it's fair to say we were short f= or this match.

20/1= 2/25 In the League Cup QF we would travel to Reading City or Abbey Rangers if we can = beat Sutton Common Rovers in the Third Round.

20/12/25 We defeat Balham 1-0 with an Akinniranye goal after good work by Robinson in the 62nd minute. It was a deserved win although Robinson then got sent off towards the end of the match. Prince<= /td>

Ader= ogba debut. He had played in our friendly win at Bedfont Sports.

27/= 12/25 Three security guards are deployed to stop me coming into the ground, even thou= gh I don't even try right now. What a waste of money Our Committee's ego trip = is costing!

27/12/25 A 91st minute equaliser from Aiwone enables u= s to escape with a point from a 2-2 draw against Corinthian-Casuals. We traile= d in the opening 90 seconds and then conceded a second in the 35th, but

a sending off for a foul on the edge of the area after= 51 minutes opened the door and we pulled a goal back in the 58th minute when Dundas sent a cross in for Nazareth to head in and Aiwone's late half vol= ley

from a Merrett free kick gave us a point that we proba= bly didn't deserve. Casuals went down to nine men after another sending off a= fter 71 but then Nazareth picked up a second yellow card six minutes later

and = the match finished with just 19 players on the pitch. Frazier Osunkoya debut and a stupidly inflated crowd of 242 when there were around 160 in the crowd.

Dec = 25 former player Nicolas Bostan joins Sutton Common Rovers having been at Westfield since leaving us in the summer of 2025.

27/12/25 Rob Hendry no longer appears as Women's Team Chairman in the programme, being replaced by Mel Tough. The Committee is = now down to seven people. The Ladies team have had a poor�

seas= on and Hendry has rarely been seen at matches.

3/1= /26 Alton (H)(L) is p-p for a frozen pitch. An online request from the Alotn Manager offered the chance to play at Alton, but clearly our people chose not to = take this up.�

The = match has been rearranged for Tuesday 27/1/26

Jan 26 Tyler Robinson leaves the club to rejoin one of= his former teams Reading City. Our club says he has made six appearances but = he made seven. Clearly they have chosen to ignore his appearance�

in our abandoned match, contrary to all previous club records which include these matches; something done by both Dave Wilson a= nd former Secretaries before him and that I will cnotinue to do.

6/1/= 26 Sutton Common Rovers (H)(LC) is p-p for a frozen pitch. Rearranged for 03/02/26.=

10/1= /26 No match this Saturday. Gap in the fixtures.

13/= 1/26 Horley Town (H)(SCC) is p-p. Waterlogged. Rearranged for 10/02/26 at Horley Town= as the club maybe realise that we may be playing away from Chessington for a while.

17/1/26 We lose 1-0 at Knaphill after conceding a soft= and harsh penalty in the 82nd minute after Kionte Gillfillian-Waul was adjudg= ed to have brought down their Captain Dale Burnham. We didn't deserve to

lose this match and arguably shaded the possession, but didn't really trouble former Salt Harvey Keogh. Former Captain from the 8= 0s Colin Miles was in attendance, as he was scouting for Cobham.

Jan = 26 Ben Grummitt leaves for Spelthorne Sports where he will surely get more playi= ng time.

24/1= /26 Eversley & California (A)(L) p-p - waterlogged. Rearranged for 21/02/26.

27/1= /26 Alton (H)(L) - waterlogged. Much rain about.

31/1= /26 Sutton Common Rovers (H)(L) - waterlogged. Fifth straight home postponement at Chalky Lane. Rearranged for 31/3/26.

Jan 26 Max Johnson announces two new signings. Tom Smi= th joins on a dual registration from South Park Reigate, while Ezekial Coker joins from Bedfont Sports. Coker is a striker while Smith is a midfielder= .

3/2/= 26 Sutton Common Rovers (H)(LC) is p-p - waterlogged. Our sixth straight home postponement.

7/2/= 26 Chipstead (A)(L) - p-p - waterlogged. Prog Y - digital. Rearranged for 17/3/26.

10/2= /26 Horley Town (H)(SCC) at Horley Town is p-p waterlogged. No programme produced.

14/2/26 Tadley Calleva (H)(L) is p-p after originally being advised as on by our club. Apparently a video inspection was taken,= but the club advise that "there was no chance of playing" yet still advised the�

game= as on, without� advising the risk of the= match being called off later, which it then was. Embarrassing and the latest shambles at the circus.

15/2= /26 Our match at home to Sheerwater on Tuesday 17/2/26 is moved to be played at Sheerwater's ground which has an artificial surface.

17/2/26 We concede a late equaliser to draw 2-2 with Sheerwater on their own ground in our home match. We trailed in the 15th minute and didn't threaten much until their keeper picked up a second yel= low card

for time wasting in the 62nd minute and Murphy-McVey equalised in the 82nd minute with a great strike past stand in keeper Ell= iott York before York failed to hold a Murphy-McVey shot and�

Aki= nniranye knocked in the loose ball in the 85th minute, only to concede to a late Aiwone own goal� in the 93rd minu= te. Probably a fair point. Ezekial Coker and Tom Smith debuts.

19/2/26 Our club decide to try and copy the EEFCOnline website by producing a match preview for the first time in a number of ye= ars, only to spoil it all by using AI to write it. As a result it contained

noth= ing of any quality and looked embarrassing. They persist with this stupidity.

21/2= /26 Jake Brown leaves for Alton. Wasn't playing very often for us and made just six appearances.

21/2/26 A 98th minute goal sends us to a 2-1 defeat at Thatcham Town in a match with low quality, but two excellent goals from t= he home side with the first in the 32nd minute of top quality. In between sub Oliveira

had = equalised in the 51st minute with a shot from a narrow angle that seemed to go through= the keeper at his near post. Nothing between the teams.

21/2= /26 Stefan Aiwone's 50th appearance

24/2/26 A mad three goal in five minute spell early in= the second half sends us to defeat at an almost empty Fox Lane against Eversl= ey & California as we lose 3-1 in front of 36 people. We had Toby�

Young sent off after 15 minutes, but were still domina= nt, hitting the woodwork twice before the dismissal. However, goals in 50, 52= and 54 left us with a mountain to climb and we only got one back, in the�

87t= h minute when O'Keeffe's head back across goal was kneed in from a foot by Zakariya Shabir on his debut as a sub. Ore Allen also made his debut as a sub in t= his match.

Feb = 26 Our match at Chipstead has been moved back a week from 17/03/26 to 24/03/26 as they have a County Cup tie that evening.

Feb 26 Our former Captain Adam Green leaves for New Zealand to play football with his brother! Our club only announced this on Facebook and I got it from Chris Farnan.

26/2/26 We won our fifth successive penalty shootout a= fter a dire 0-0 draw at Horley Town in the Southern Combination Cup. We had conceded home advantage, following a home postponement in November

and on a dreadful surface, neither side created much. = In the 19th minute Murphy-McVey smashed the ball into the net from twenty minutes, but the referee had just blown the whistle because he had entered�

the field of play without permission after treatment. = He also got booked for it by an apologetic ref!! He then hit the bar from 20 yards in the 33rd minute. Horley had a shot deflected onto the post and away�

in the second half but neither side came that close and both had a player put a penalty over the bar too! Dundas got lucky as his penalty was saved but the Assistant flagged for an early move. Won 4-3 on pens.

28/2= /26 Redhill (H)(L) - p-p - waterlogged. Again this is the only postponement in our division.

Feb = 26 Chipstead (A)(L) moved back from 17/3/26 to 24/3/26 due to a County Cup QF for Chipstead.

Feb = 26 Shay Honey is at Langley.

Mar 26 Our Southern Combination Cup tie at home to Bed= font Sports is now on Thursday 19th March, while Redhill (H)(L) is now 17/3/26= and the League Cup tie at home to SCR is on Tuesday 21st April,�

alth= ough the Redhill date is already taken by Chessington & Hook United, so may change.

7/3/26 We are defeated 4-0 at Horley Town in a League match in a really poor display, looking very light up front right now. Go= als came after 28, 53, 70 and 85 and our cause wasn't helped by a silly red c= ard

for = Coker who had only been on the field as a substitute for four minutes!

Mar = 26 Jason Vincent rejoins from Redhill and Courtney Swaby joins from SCR to add some firepower.

14/3= /26 Despite Camberley having a man sent off in the 31st minute, we still can't defeat them and have to settle for a 0-0 draw. A poor game. Swaby debut.

17/3/26 Another late goal costs us a point as Redhill defeat us 2-1 at Chalky Lane. It was an average matech at best and we went behind in the 51st minute after a shot came back off the post. We equalised�

whe= n the Redhill keeper dropped a cross and Collins knocked in the loose ball in t= he 62nd minute but in the 90th Kit Fletcher flapped at a cross and it went in off him for the winner.

19/3/26 Bedfont Sports ease past us 4-0 to progress in= the Southern Combination Cup QF. A Witter error in the 5th minute set things = up badly and goals in the 14th and 19th ended the match as a contest, with

a fo= urth goal in the 57th making the score about fair. We produced very little of attacking note as we exited the cup we held.

21/3/26 We lost narrowly 3-2 at Fleet Town despite lea= ding in the 12th minute after a Swaby cross crept in at the far post, although= we soon trailed after goals in the 19th and 22nd minutes and a third followe= d

after just 37 seconds of the second half, but Aiwone smashed home a loose ball after a corner wasn't cleared in the 48th minut= e. We nearly equalised towards the end and this was an improved performance.=

24/3/26 Once again we fail to defeat ten men as Chipst= ead come from behind to draw 1-1 at High Road. They had a man sent off in the 64th minute and we led after Dundas got a toe to a deep free kick

a mi= nute later, only for us to concede a header from a free kick in the 84th minute. Anot= her match we should have won but didn't.

28/3/26 A late Fofahan penalty enabled us to win our f= irst match of 2026 as we defeated Guildford City 2-1 at the Spectrum. We needed the 98th minute winner as we had thrown away another lead, given to us

by Swaby with a dipping shot from the edge of the area. Former Salt Kallum Peart scored the equaliser in the 88th minute and it looked like a familiar story unfolding before we secured the late and very soft

pena= lty after Fofahan collided with former Horley keeper George Hyde.

31/3/26 A weak performance against Sutton Common Rovers ends in a 1-0 home defeat thanks to a goal in the 43rd minute. We created little throughout although the opposition wasn't much better.

7/4/26 Finally a home win after 178 days as we defeat Alton 3-0 with three goals after the break. We deserved the win although = the first half was fairly dull but Wilson put us ahead in the 54th minute aft= er a�

Collins free kick hit the wall in fell into his path. Swaby added two goals later on, after 88 when he tucked in the loose ball after Vincent's shot had been saved, and then after 92 after a good run a= nd pass from

Gill= fillian-Waul had put him through, his shot going in off the post.�

11/4/26 We make it two back to back 3-0 wins as Fleet = Town are defeated at Chalky Lane in our penultimate League match and Callum Wi= lson scored again, this time in the 12th minute when�

he headed in a deep Murphy-McVey corner at the far post from two yards out. A goal from Vincent added in the 74th minute when his volley from a Murphy-McVey right wing delivery probably should have

bee= n dealt with by the keeper, and Ore Allen came off the bench to score an 88th minute g= oal to wrap up the scoring as he chipped the keeper after running onto a Swaby pass.

14/4/26 An 89th minute winner for sub Joshua Arthur following a keeper error was enough for us to defeat Tadley Calleva 1-0 in our last League match. Both teams had many changes and maybe we just abou= t

edged it in terms of possession. A third straight clean sheet, this time for Witter as Fletcher was injured. We finish the season= in thirteenth place, far higher than we spent much of it! Arthur debut.

21/= 4/26 We win another penalty shootout with five perfect penalties as we go first and defeat SCR 5-3 on penalties after a dire goalless draw in the last 16 of = the League Cup.�

24/4/26 Club presentation at Horton Park Golf Club. Despite this being an important occasion, it appears that no fans were in attendance apart from the usual group of kids. Also, the club made several spelling�

erro= rs which just showed more of the usual disrespect for any form of quality control.=

The = main supporters award was shared by Stefan Aiwone and Brendan Murphy-McVey.

Bren= dan won the Players Player of the Year award with Stefan as runner-up, while the positions were reversed for the Management award.

The = Club Player of the Year award, which is hard to work out how this is determined, went= to Callum Wilson with Oba and Leo Cunningham as joint runners-up.

Comm= ittee Player of the Season went to Stefan and Brendan was runner-up.

The club also gave out a host of random "special recognition awards" but it is hard to work out what they were for, particularly one awarded to Alex McKay who passed away in April of 2025!<= /td>

25/4/26 We defeated Abbey Rangers 3-0 at Addlestone Mo= or in the QF of the League Cup and were good value for the win. Murphy-McVey= set the tone with a 22nd minute free kick and a Young�

header in the 57th minute after Abbey had been reduced= to ten men made the game safer. Despite the dismissal of Aiwone for a second yellow in the closing minutes, Bailey scored his first goal for the club as�

he p= assed the ball into the net from twelve yards in the 92nd minute.

28/4= /26 We departed the League Cup at the SF stage at home to Windsor & Eton by a goal to nil. The goal came in the 31st minute of an even match.
