Jun 25 A number of players are retained from last season
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 appear a
bit random with no Step 5 opponents of any kind. Instead we face Step 3 Cray
Valley PM and Step 7 Richmond & Kew! Also no mention of the

Stella Lamont
Trophy and it will be interesting to see whether they devalue it by trying 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 signing
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

Wednesday.

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 top
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 Manager in
Senior English Women's football, although whether our Women's

team really
play at a Senior level is debateable. Also, it seems unlikely our club could
have done research on every other club in the six tiers above them to prove
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 23rd
minute, but an equally high quality equalising strike followed just four

minutes later.
We had more of the ball, but didn't threaten enough to say we deserved more
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

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 years
back.

19/7/25 Club arranged an in house training match between
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 wanted
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 night
before against Guildford City. Still no mention of any Stella Lamont Trophy
match.

21/7/25 An extra league fixture is advised by the League
for Tuesday 29th July as we visit Tadley Calleva. However, this was an error
on the FA site and the fixture is cancelled as Tadley were hosting Eversley!

July 25 New registrations for our club include Kingsley
Anokye, Filip Ksaidz, Obasanjo Akinniranye, Ben Grummitt (gk), Emmanuel Limpo
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 Dundas
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 was

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 minute
second half burst of goals. It was a fairly even first half but we led after
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 the
ball beyond the keeper from 12 yards to make it 2-0 in the 62nd minute. Then
Nelsono-Roberts found Fofahan in the area and his low shot from the

penalty 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 programme,
despite our lowly finish last season. The programme is no different to last
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 to 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

inevitable
consequences. We were 5-0 down before we found the net to reduce the score to
5-2 before conceding two late goals.

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

may be moved to later in the day or switched to the KGF.
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 25th
minute

with a clever Brendan Murphy-McVey free kick which
wrongfooted the keeper, then a keeper clearance went straight to Anokye who
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 Anokye
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 the

98th minute.
This was a very solid performance.

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

7/8/25 BBC London News carries the story about our club'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 strange
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

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

with an Anokye penalty in the 96th minute after
Akinniranye was brought down by the Balham keeper. It was our first win over
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 covered
by the Epsom and Ewell Times and Radio Jackie.

9/8/25 Carl Oblitey has joined Chipstead. The club doesn'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 defensive
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 improved

notably after
the break and we conceded in the 62nd and 74th minutes, the latter of which
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 comments
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 too

after 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 after
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 his
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 off!

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 trailed 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 the
roof of the net. However, Young was sent off in the 71st minute after a foul
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 Andrew
Herring comes in from Bedfont. Both make their debuts at Corinthian-Casuals.

It turns 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 place as
they have a Vase tie on that date and this was known back in early July!

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

2000. We led in the 57th minute after Oliveira was bundled
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 club
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 likely
to be moved from Friday 5th September to Saturday 6th September. Not yet

clear 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 going 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 Ralph
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 interesting 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 for
it. Green struck a penalty away in the 21st minute after Andrew Herring

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

point, but it
was a fair result over the 90 minutes.

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

online, despite
being warned about handing opponents an advantage previously. As usual, they
think they know best.

13/9/25 We departed the FA Cup 4-0 at Step Two Eastbourne
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 going
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 time
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 calendar
year as we defeated Ashford Town 4-2 on penalties following an even 1-1 draw.
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 the
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 Cobham.

Sept 25 Two
more new players join. Jason Vincent from Spartans and previously Knaphill,
and Jake Brown  (Guildford City) join
and both make their debuts as subs against Cobham

Sept 25 former
player Jayden Barber joins South Park Reigate. A former Fulham Academy player
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 different
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. Vincent
scored his first goal in the 50th minute after controlling and the sending 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 who
squared to the unmarked Fofahan who picked his spot from ten yards. Chipstead

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 really
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 with
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 35th
we earned another penalty after Green's header was knocked away by the scorer
of their second goal Alex Miller who was then sent off. However, Green

then saw his
penalty saved and despite the man advantage and the strong wind in our favour
in the second half, we failed to break through for an equaliser, let alone 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 interest
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 8th,
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 Akinniranye
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 main
change being that officials are now elected for three years, surely a

constutional red flag and particularly concerning seeing
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

families. 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 for 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!

20/10/25 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 rescued
a draw with two late goals. Alton had a man sent off for kicking Toby Young
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

despite a large scuffle in the 90th minute after an Alton
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 yards.
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

failed 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 three
times in the first 16 minutes, the third of which was a penalty. Two more

followed 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 leaves
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 with
ten men and lost 2-1. Callum O'Keeffe joins on a dual registration from

Hampton &
Richmond Borough while Karl Bailey also joins from Harrow Borough. Both made
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. It is
disappointing that he doesn't thank the supporters in his statement, although
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. Embarrassing!

4/11/25 We held on for a 1-1 draw at home to Abbey Rangers
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 Abbey

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

4/11/25
Programme numbered as 11 this day when it should have been 12. Our club later
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.

8/11/25 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 corner
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 tried
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 the

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

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. Tyler
Robinson debut.

22/11/25 Jason
Vincent leaves for Redhill. Clearly the arrival of Tyler Robinson has pushed
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 middle
of

the pitch. We had a female referee for possibly the first
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

heralded 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 rain
on the Monday or Tuesday. Not good. Prog issued (15) but none were printed,
except for two possessed by Richard Lambert and Paul Merrett.

It appears 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 Fleet!

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

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

29/11/25 We just lose 2-1 at Tooting & Mitcham United
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 again

in the 46th minute. We were more of a threat in the second
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 were
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 Abbey
Rangers with a pair of goals from Herring. His first in the 31st minute came
after Oliveira set up Fofahan whose shot was blocked by the keeper and

Herring
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 post.
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 minute
as he finished off a Nazareth volley back from a deep corner, and although it

was 1-1 in the 22nd minute we led in the 31st minute after
a great cross from Brazier was met with a superb header into the top corner
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 Osunkoya

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

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

fault, 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

kick 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 fair
one.

13/12/25 former
players Les Peck, Tony Coombe and Tim Tweedy were in attendance at this match
which was played in front of 71 people, despite the club making it up again
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 crappy
excuse about "tight printing deadlines" We all know when Christmas
is coming,

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

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

performance
from our boys. Nathan West and Zacharia Belbachir debuts, although they had
been at our club for a while, so I think it's fair to say we were short for
this match.

20/12/25 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

Aderogba 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 though 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 us to
escape with a point from a 2-2 draw against Corinthian-Casuals. We trailed 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 volley

from a Merrett free kick gave us a point that we probably
didn't deserve. Casuals went down to nine men after another sending off after
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

season 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 and
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 adjudged
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 80s
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 playing
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 Smith
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 yellow
card

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

Akinniranye
knocked in the loose ball in the 85th minute, only to concede to a late
Aiwone own goal  in the 93rd minute.
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 years,
only to spoil it all by using AI to write it. As a result it contained

nothing 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 the
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 dark day for our club as the
eefconline website is suspended and also the X site EEFCOnline. The Club
Committee will pay for this one day.

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 Eversley
& California as we lose 3-1 in front of 36 people. We had Toby

Young sent off after 15 minutes, but were still dominant,
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

87th 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 this
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 after
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 Bedfont
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,

although 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. Goals
came after 28, 53, 70 and 85 and our cause wasn't helped by a silly red card

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

when the
Redhill keeper dropped a cross and Collins knocked in the loose ball in the
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 fourth 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 leading
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 followed

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

24/3/26 Once again we fail to defeat ten men as Chipstead
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 minute later,
only for us to concede a header from a free kick in the 84th minute. Another
match we should have won but didn't.

28/3/26 A late Fofahan penalty enabled us to win our first
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

penalty 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.

31/3/26 Richard Lambert escorted from the
ground by British Transport Police following a report of trespass on Network
Rail property. I wonder where that report came from!

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 after
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 and
pass from

Gillfillian-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 Wilson
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

been dealt with
by the keeper, and Ore Allen came off the bench to score an 88th minute goal
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 about

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

errors 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.

Brendan 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.

Committee 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!

25/4/26 We defeated Abbey Rangers 3-0 at Addlestone Moor
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 passed 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.
