The Tons come into the game off the back of away wins at Ealing Town and South Kilburn Reserves sandwiching a nail-biting defeat at a damp Stray Dog in the cup against Hutton FC a fortnight ago. Our […]

Epping Town are on a mission to go back to the glory days of the Seventies and Eighties. In the early 1980s they disappeared due to financial problems, despite the team reaching the Isthmian League, basking in their best ever FA Cup and FA Vase runs and playing the likes of West Ham and Spurs […]
