Youth SYL U14 League Winners 2018/19 LCSYFL U14 League Runners-Up 2018/19 U7 Boys SYL Invitation Cup Runners-Up 2018/19 Westside FC History SYL U13 League Runners-Up 2017/18 U18 Boys SYL Division Winners 2017/18 Westside FC was founded by Graham Holder, our current Chairman, in May 1996 and is based at LCSYFL U13 League Winners 2017/18 West Side Church in Wandsworth. Graham travelled to the USA in 1994 with Ambassadors in Sport to U7 Boys SYL Invitation Cup Winners 2017/18 coach and evangelise in San Jose, California during the 1994 World Cup. While he was there he had U12 Boys SYL Division Runners-Up 2016/17 a vision to form a Christian football club on his return to the UK. LCSYFL U16 League Winners 2014/15

In 1996 this happened. With the team only having 7 players, it joined Division 5 of the Kingston & LCSYFL U16 League Cup “Finalists” 2014/15 District League (KDL). By the start of the season, the team had 17 players mainly from the West Side U16 Boys AFA County Cup Runners-up 2013/14 LCSYFL U16 League Winners 2013/14 Church youth group. In this first season the team, player managed by Graham Holder, won KDL LCSYFL U16 League Cup Winners 2013/14 Division 5, the Tec Cup, and the Sportsmanship Cup and were runners-up in the League Junior Cup. LCSYFL U16 Charity Cup Winners 2013/14 Not a bad start and with Dave Doran scoring 55 goals. U15 Boys London FA County Cup Runners-up 2012/13 The club grew to have three adult mens teams in the KDL with brothers, friends and friends of friends LSYFL U15 League Winners 2012/13 joining. The 1st team progressed through the divisions of the KDL and in 1999/20 were Division 2 LSYFL U13 League Runners-up 2012/13 Champions and were promoted directly to the KDL Premier Division and won this the following season U18 Boys SYL Premier Elite Division Winners 2011/12 2000/01. LSYFL U14 KO Cup Winners 2011/12

The club decided to have a further season in the KDL Premier and apply for promotion to the Surrey LSYFL U14 League Winners 2011/12 South Eastern Combination Intermediate League (SSEC) the following season. Unfortunately, the U14 Boys London FA County Cup Winners 2011/12 plan went wrong when the team ended 3rd. Graham decided to take a gamble and transferred the U12 Boys London FA County Cup Runners-up 2011/12 team into the SSEC Junior 1 and it gained promotion to the Intermediate League in 2002/03 by LSYFL U12 KO Cup Runners-up 2011/12 LSYFL U16 Shield Winners 2011/12 winning the last game of the season against promotion rivals Warlingham. LSYFL U16 League Runners-up 2011/12 Graham Holder remained Manager until 2008/09 and after 12 years stepped down to manage the U16 Boys London FA County Cup Runners-up 2010/11 Reserves in SSEC Junior 1. His Assistant Manager, Steve Walters took over the job of 1st team LSYFL U16 League Runners-up 2010/11 manager. During those 12 years, the club won numerous trophies – see clubs honours page - LSYFL U15 KO Cup Winners 2010/11 including being FA Charter Standard National Adult Club of the Year 2005/06. LSYFL U15 League Runners-up 2010/11 Steve Walters led the first team to the SSEC Intermediate Division 2 title in 2014/15 and Division 1 the LSYFL U16 KO Cup Winners 2009/10 following season gaining promotion to the Surrey Elite League and we switched to playing our home Boys U14 AFA Cup Winners 2009/10 games at AFC Athletic. In 2018/19 we finished 3rd and gained promotion to Step 6 of the LSYFL U14 League Runners-up 2009/10 National Football Structure and entered the Combined Counties Division 1. We moved to ground U16 Boys London FA County Cup Winners 2008/09 share with Chessington and Hook United and despite a relatively good start, our season like many LSYFL U16 League Runners-up 2008/09 others was curtailed by COVID -19. We are starting the 2020/21 season ground sharing at Colliers Boys U13 AFA Cup Runners-up 2008/09 Wood United FC. LSYFL U15 Sporting Spirit Award 2008/09 LSYFL U15 KO Cup Winners 2008/09 Also, in 2004, the club became the first Christian team to take a Mission Tour to Senegal in West LSYFL U14 Sporting Spirit Award 2007/08 Africa. A great adventure, two years of planning and a difficult one for a Christian team in a mainly LSYFL U14 KO Cup Winners 2007/08 Muslim country. The tour was a great success and we returned in 2007 with an even more gruelling LSYFL U14 League Runners-up 2007/08 schedule of matches, coaching and Christian evangelism. There were some very unusual pitches and Surrey County Girls U16 Prem Division Sportsmanship Winners 2007/08 football in the jungle is a real experience! We also have connections with Romania and Sierra Leone. Girls U16 London County Cup Runners-up 2007/08 We believe that our original vision to be a multi team club has blossomed over the years since 1996. Girls U16 AFA Cup Runners-up 2007/08 The club has expanded greatly since starting youth and girls’ football in 2002. Under the overall LSYFL U13 Sporting Spirit Award 2006/07 control of Jane Walters, we now have over 30 youth boys teams from U7 to U18 with teams playing LSYFL U12 League Runners-up 2005/06 on both Saturday and Sunday and a ladies and two girls teams (U14 and U10). All these teams have LSYFL U12 League KO Cup Runners-up 2005/06 also won numerous trophies across all levels of the club – please see the honours list in our LSYFL U12 Walter Perry Cup Winners 2005/06 programmes. Last year, we joined forces with Sean Innes Coaching and formed three new teams in LSYFL U12 Sporting Spirit Award 2005/06 the Surrey Youth League.

The Chairman’s view

Hi everyone and welcome to Wibbandune. I hope you all enjoy the experience and I would ask you all to remember the COVID rules to ensure your own and others safety and ensure your time with us is a safe time.

CLUB HONOURS Remember, it is very easy to get comfortable at matches and forget the need to social distance, Surrey FA Charter Standard Club of the Year 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 groups of 6 etc .Three clubs in the CCL have already had Players or Officials tested positive for South East of England FA Charter Standard Club of the Year 2005, 2006, 2007 COVID resulting in matches cancelled. Let us all, Westside FC or our opposition be vigilant. FA National Charter Standard Club of the Year 2006 We all realise that the rules are changing rapidly and a change by the Jersey Government this week is the reason we are here today for this match against Epsom & Ewell because Jersey, who we were Wandsworth Borough’s ‘Developing Community Sports’ Award 2006 due to play our visitors today and ourselves tomorrow, cannot travel this weekend. Wandsworth Borough’s ‘Outstanding Contribution to Sport & Physical Activity’ Award Jane Walters, Westside FC 2015 Another reason why we should all take care is that clubs in the CCL are seeing more spectators than normal because people are wanting to see live football and with the cheaper entrance fees and the Wandsworth Borough’s ‘Outstanding Contribution to Sport & Physical Activity’ Award Dave Crilly, Westside FC 2016 availability of a bar/clubhouse our games are becoming attractive to local residents. Farnham Town from our Division appeared on Sky Sports last week showing how many people they were getting through the turnstiles. Adult Men

Step 6 Promotion to Combined Counties League 2018/19 In our last home game, we lost our unbeaten record to Walton and Hersham 2-0. We had the chance Step 7 Promotion to Surrey Elite Intermediate League 2015/16 to walk away with a point as we were awarded a penalty 10 minutes from the end but their keeper Surrey South Eastern Combination Intermediate Division 1 Champions 2015/16 made a good save and they then scored with a fine free kick with a couple of minutes to go. However, Surrey South Eastern Combination Intermediate Div 2 Champions 2014/15 we had a great 5-0 win at Chessington last week and therefore still remain in second place and with a game in hand over Farnham who are top. Surrey South Eastern Combination Geoff Ellis Senior Shield Runner-up 2014/15 Surrey South Eastern Combination Junior Division 4 Sportsmanship Winners 2013/14 This afternoon we welcome the Players, Officials and Supporters of Epsom & Ewell, along with our Surrey South Eastern Combination League Junior Cup Runner-up 2013/14 referee, Dave Sheldrake and his two Assistants, Martin Etheridge and Roger Wells. I am sure that Surrey South Eastern Combination Junior Division 4 Sportsmanship Winners 2012/13 they will make a great contribution to the enjoyment of the match without needing the assistance of Surrey South Eastern Combination Intermediate Div 2 Sportsmanship Winners 2007/08 VAR which is still causing great controversy in the professional game! Does anyone really know the Wandsworth Borough’s ‘Developing Community Sports’ Award 2006 hand ball law, even after the explanations which appear in the newspapers after every controversial Kingston & District League Division 5 Runners-up 2003/04 decision!! And now we are told that the VAR official at the Merseyside derby did not know he could Surrey South Eastern Combination Junior Division 1, Runners-up 2002/03 still consider a red card for Pickford after the offside decision. Surrey South Eastern Combination Geoff Ellis Premier Shield Runners-up 2002/03 I must also stress that we will not tolerate racial abuse of any kind at our matches. Kingston & District League Intermediate Shield Winners 2002/03 Kingston & District League Division 4, Runners-up 2002/03 Those who read my comments regularly last season will know, I cannot finish these notes without a Kingston & District League Premier Division Champions 2000/01 reference to God who provides the talent that enables both our players and those of our opponents to Kingston & District League Division 2 Champions 1999/2000 play this great game. So when you watch the game today or even be lucky enough to be playing, just Kingston & District League Sportsmanship Cup Winners 1999/2000 & 1996/97 remember that it was God who gave you the talent to play, the eyes to watch and the Hope for every Kingston & District League Division 5 Champions 1996/97 part of our lives. If you need to know more talk to me or our Chaplain.

May God Bless you all, players and spectators. Ladies Please enjoy our hospitality and the game which hopefully is played in a way that is exciting, sporting Greater London Regional Women’s League Division 3 Champions 2006/07 and enjoyable. Greater London Regional Women’s League Division 4 West Runners-up 2004/5 Graham Holder

Welcome to our visitors . . . Epsom & Ewell

Founded in March 1918 as Epsom Juniors Cricket Club and played throughout the summer. In the autumn, Eversley & California Epsom Juniors F.C. came into being and played a handful of games from what is now known as Alexandra Division One Club Directory Eversley Sports Association Recreation Ground. Competitive football followed as we entered the Surrey Junior League in 1919, and became Fox Lane, off Reading Road founder members of the Sutton & District League in 1920. 2020-21 Eversley, Hampshire RG27 0NS Tel: 0118 973 2400 A change of name in July 1922 to Epsom Town F.C. heralded the start of a very successful era. By now resident at the Horton Hospital Sports Ground, we were unfortunate to lose 2-1 after extra time at Dorking F.C.’s Pixham AFC Hayes Farnham Town Farm Park, Kingshill Avenue Memorial Ground Lane ground to Caterham Mental Hospital in a replay of the Surrey Junior Cup Final. However, we won three Hayes, Middlesex Mead Lane, Farnham other trophies that season, the Hospital Shield, the Sutton Hospital Cup, and the Epsom Hospital UB4 8DD Surrey GU9 7DY Cup. In addition, we also won the Sutton & District League, and under the forward thinking of their visionary Tel: 020 8845 0110 Tel: 01252 715305 Chairman Hugh Bradley, took the step into Intermediate Football, where we won the Southern Suburban League Ash United FC Deportivo Galicia without losing a match. Senior football was granted as we were unanimously accepted into the Surrey Senior Shawfield Stadium, Youngs Drive Bedfont Sports FC League for 1924/25, where we finished third. Shawfields Road, Ash, Aldershot Hatton Road, Bedfont Hampshire GU12 6RE Middlesex TW14 9JR In September 1925, the club relocated to the old Ewell F.C. ground at West Street, which was purchased through Tel: 01252 344264 Tel: 020 8831 9067/07967 370109 the generosity of our future President Robert Bradshaw. In 1925/26 the Championship of the Surrey Senior Bagshot Fleet Spurs League was attained, and the following season, we defeated Egham 1-0 at Egham in the League Charity Cup to Camberley Town FC Kennels Lane complete a League and Cup “double”. Election to the London League followed, and the title was claimed in the Krooner Park, Camberley, Surrey Farnborough, Hampshire first attempt in 1927/28. Unfortunately, we were unable to repeat this, instead finishing runners-up in 1931/32, GU15 2QW GU14 0ST 1932/33, 1934/35, 1936/37 and 1937/38. Cup Honours were limited, although in 1929 Redhill defeated us 3-2 in Tel: 01276 65392 Tel: (M) 07734 109816 front of 4,600 at in our first Surrey Senior Cup Final, having seen off Wimbledon 4-1 in the semi-final! Bedfont & Feltham Godalming Town

The thirties were a very successful era, and we won the Surrey Charity (Senior) Shield in 1933 with an impressive The Orchard The Bill Kyte Stadium, Wey Court Hatton Road, Bedfont Meadrow, Godalming 5-0 win over Woking at Kingfield. However, the proudest moment of our pre-war history was an appearance in the Middlesex TW14 9QT Surrey GU7 3JE First Round Proper of the F.A.Cup in 1933/34. Woking (after a replay), , Tooting & , Beddington Tel: 020 8890 7264 Tel: 01483 417520 Corner, and Leytonstone were defeated, and a crowd of 9,485 at the Lea Bridge Speedway Stadium witnessed a British Airways Jersey Bulls 4-2 loss against the hosts Clapton Orient. At the end of that season we changed our name to Epsom F.C. Bedfont & Feltham FC Springfield Stadium

In 1939 a newly formed team, Epsom Town (no connection to the earlier name) shared the ground with Epsom The Orchard, Hatton Road Janvrin Road, St. Helier F.C. However, this arrangement was suspended when war was declared, and we folded for the duration. In the Bedfont, Middlesex TW14 9QT Jersey, Channel Islands JE2 4LF Tel: 020 8890 7264 Tel: 01534 500015 meantime, Club Chairman Charles Pettett threw in his lot with Epsom Town in an attempt to boost morale by Chessington & Hook U Kensington & Ealing Boro keeping the football flag flying. It was successful, as that club competed continuously throughout the war years, Chalky Lane Hanwell Town FC winning the Surrey Combination in 1939/40, and reaching the Surrey Senior Cup Final in 1944, losing 3-1 to Chessington, Surrey The Powerday Stadium Tooting & Mitcham, at Sandy Lane.

Temporary homes were found for Epsom Town while they competed for a season in the Tel: 020 8998 1701 newly created Corinthian League, but disbanded in 1946. Cove Sandhurst Town In 1949 we entered the Corinthian League ourselves, where in 1952 we reached the League Memorial Shield Oak Farm Fields, 7 Squirrel Lane Bracknell Town FC Final in 1952, going down 2-1 to Champions Hounslow at Eastbourne after leading at half-time.

In 1955 we won the Surrey Senior Shield with a 1-0 Tooting Bec Meadowbank Stadium Tooting & Mitcham United FC win over Athletic at West Street. Mill Lane, Dorking Imperial Fields, Bishopsford Road In 1960 we changed our name once again to Epsom & Ewell F.C. This was not because of any merger with Ewell Surrey RH4 1DX Morden, Surrey SM4 6BF & Stoneleigh as is often quoted, but was an attempt to increase support across the whole of the Borough.

Thank you to our Sponsors were avoided in the early seventies by the benefit of re-election. However in 1973, despite “improving” to finish second from bottom, the Athenian League ran out of patience and cut us loose. This was unfortunate timing as we had just cleared all of our debts, and in addition to a virtually new Committee, former Fulham player Pat O’Connell had taken over as Manager. The Surrey Senior League took us in at the last minute, and the new squad, including young striker Tommy Tuite, won the League Cup, and the following season, 1974/75 achieved a second Surrey Senior League “double”. However, the season would always be remembered for reaching the Final of the inaugural F.A. Vase, where 9,500 saw the Blues edged out 2-1 by Hoddesdon Town at Wembley Stadium. The Athenian League welcomed

us back, and promotion was achieved in that first season. In 1976/77 we reached the Athenian League Cup Final, Inspiring Children to fall in love with Sport losing 1-0 at Chalfont St Peter. By then, we knew that we had been invited to join the expanding Isthmian League for 1977/78, and were placed CEO & Managing Director: Luke Smith BSc in the new Division Two. Our first match under floodlights took place against Met Police in August 1977, and the title was clinched the following April, securing a move to Division One. In 1979/80 we won the Southern 0203 375 6114 Combination Cup 7-2 over Hampton on their own pitch, where the opposition were blitzed by five goals from

www.pioneersportsacademy.co.uk Tuite. The following season a new clubhouse opened at West Street, and we finally won the Surrey Senior Cup in 1981, defeating Woking 2-1 at Tooting & Mitcham, although we just missed out on promotion. O’Connell resigned in 1982, being replaced by Adrian Hill and in 1983/84 we clinched a spot in the Premier Division as runners-up, although this time we missed out in the Surrey Senior Cup, defeated 4-0 by Sutton United in the Final at Imber Court. We survived comfortably in our first season at the Isthmian Premier, but Hill’s departure to Croydon in 1985 started a decline. Much of the squad left with Hill, and new Manager Alan Webb had too much to do. We were relegated in 1986, and also in 1987, by now under the Management of Ricky Kidd. Adrian Hill replaced Kidd for a second spell at the helm in 1990, but we were placed in the new Division Three in 1991 in league reorganisation following a finish one position below the required half way mark. In 1993 a large chapter in our history ended as we left West Street and moved in as tenants of Banstead Athletic. The decade was largely one of frustration, although we did reach the Final of the Associate Members Trophy in 1998, losing 2-0 to Bedford Town at Hendon’s old Claremont Road ground. In 2002 Adrian Hill took us back up to the newly created Division 1 South, where we topped the table for a month, eventually finishing 9th, but Hill’s retirement at the end of the season led to relegation a year later and then in 2006 we were transferred into the Combined Counties League Premier Division. In October 2006 Lyndon Buckwell, a former player became our new Manager, and in his first full season (2007/08) we were back in the top ten. In 2008/09 we exceeded this achievement and finished in fourth place after heading the table for a few months. In 2009/10 the club recovered from a slow start to finish fifth and also reached the last 32 of the F.A.Vase for the first time in 21 years, bowing out 3-2 in Northamptonshire to Long Buckby. In April of 2010 we terminated our seventeen-year ground sharing agreement with Banstead Athletic and spent two unspectacular seasons at Merstham F.C. before relocating to High Road, home of Chipstead F.C. for the 2012/13 season, where we would spend eight seasons. The season brought significant playing success as a slow start was followed by a spectacular run of form, including a club record 12 straight League wins, which put us at the top of the table for over a month, before a tricky run in resulted in a final position of fifth. However, any disappointment there was tempered by the club’s first silverware since 1981 when we defeated South Park 3-0 at Farnborough to win the Combined Counties League Cup. On a sadder note, 2012/13 also marked one thousand games since we left West Street. We carried our form into 2013/14 and led the league with eight straight wins, but couldn’t hold on and had to settle for third place, our highest league finish since 1984, but the following September Lyndon Buckwell departed and Glyn Mandeville and new Assistant Matt Smith steered the club to seventh place, and improved this to fourth in Vehicle Operating Centre: 2015/16. 35-37 Herne Place, Herne Hill, London SE24 0EN In the summer of 2016 our club visited France and played a friendly against our twin town Chantilly, which was where the England team had been based before their Euro 2016 campaign. The players were able to meet Roy T: 020 7737 8039; M: 07885 950779 Hodgson and Gary Neville and performed admirably as ambassadors for our town. E: [email protected]; W: gseskips.com In 2016/17 we started the season with an incredible 9-2 win at newly promoted Bedfont & despite trailing 2-0

Environmental Agency Registration No. CBDU201123 at half time and went on to repeat our fourth place finish in the League. In addition, we reached the League Cup Final but were defeated 4-1 by Westfield at Windsor FC.

However, in the summer of 2017, we suffered a large player exodus with a substantial number joining local rivals Sutton Common Rovers. Glyn was unable to replace them with enough players of real quality and three quarters of the season was spent at the foot of the table. His resignation in January 2018 led to the club promoting our Coach Neil Grant into the Manager’s role and although he managed to get us off the foot of the table, relegation was always likely and was confirmed in mid-April; not a great way to celebrate our Centenary!

The attempts at bouncing straight back did not start particularly well and Grant departed in October. He was replaced by Simon Funnell, who stepped up from his Assistant role and oversaw a good run of results which took us as high as eighth with the consolation of reaching the Division One League Cup Final at Meadowbank. Unfortunately the new season of 2019/20 started poorly and Funnell resigned at Christmas. His Assistant Sam Morgan was appointed to the role and with his new Assistant Tim Moffatt they oversaw an undefeated league run that took us up to the abandonment of the season.

The 2020/21 season commences with another ground move, this time to Leatherhead’s Fetcham Grove ground, although the target of promotion back into the top flight of the Combined Counties League remains the same as the previous year. Luckily last year’s null and void finish gives us another chance to claim one of the four promotion spots that remain available this year and a significant club restructure off the field enables us to look forward to this season with a greater degree of optimism.

Meanwhile, the search continues for a new ground back in the Borough…..
