    LEAGUE HISTORY

    On Wednesday 22nd November 1972 a handful of people met in the café of the swimming baths situated in East Street, Epsom. A draft constitution was drawn up and it was agreed to run just two divisions, playing on a Saturday morning, one at U10 and the other at U12.

    Three weeks later the inaugural meeting was held at the same venue and The Epsom & Ewell Parks Boy’s Football League was formed. There were just six founder clubs accepted that evening - 2nd Hook Scouts, Stoneleigh Boys, Langley Vale, Court Comets, 7th Epsom (Epsom Eagles) and Epsom Comets. One of those clubs is still with the League and going strong – Stoneleigh. 

    Competitive football commenced on 13th January 1973. To mark the advent of mixed gender football and to coincide with the 25th anniversary, the name of the league was changed to The Epsom & Ewell Youth Football League in the 1997/8 season. In season 2022/23 there were 732 teams and over 9,000 players in the league. A bit of a difference from more than 40 years ago!
