The last few years, however, most of the teams consist of members who belong to several indoor Clubs. Since the 2014/15 season Epsom have played 44 matches, won 18 & lost 26. They reached the Semi Final in 2018/19 & lost in the final against Purley Bury in the very first season entered. Epsom have played Reigate Priory 7 times, won 4 & lost 3. Appearances 55 members of Epsom Bowling Club have played in this Competition since 2014/15 and the most appearances are:- Fred Read who has played in 34 matches, Brian Kenyon 33, Martin Harbottle 25 & Eileen Mills 21. Over the years Epsom have played 11 different Clubs – Purley Bury, Godstone, Caterham, Churchfields, Dorking, Redhill, Monotype, Reigate Priory, Warlingham Park, Ashtead & Co. & Donyngs. This winter Epsom play Reigate Priory, Purley Bury & Redhill in the early stages. They play each other twice.
