20.01.2022 BASL SEASON CANCELLED The Bendigo Amateur Soccer League (BASL) Committee have announced the official cancellation of the 2020 BASL Junior & Youth (U18s) Seasons. Although the news is unfortunate for all our teams, as our players were enjoying being back on the pitch, the decision BASL have made is fully supported by the Epsom Football Club. The current COVID-19 situation in Victoria is worsening, and the health risk to our community is increasing every day. The health ...and well-being of all members being the number one priority through this time, the cancellation of the 2020 BASL Season comes with a heavy heart but for the right reasons. The Epsom Football Club Committee will convene soon to discuss fees, and once an official decision is made, we will inform our members. Stay safe and healthy, we will continue to provide you with updates. - Epsom Football Club Committee Read the BASL Statement below - https://www.facebook.com/1572120589710976/posts/2678868055702885?sfns=mo

20.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY With our ninth segment of Flashback Friday, we Flashback to 1997. We take a look at the 14 teams we had in 1997, from seniors to juniors. A lot of familiar faces within the photos, tag them to let them reminisce over their time with Epsom!! ... In case you missed last weeks Flashback Friday where we looked at our 2016 teams, go back and have a look on our page!!

20.01.2022 SEASON & COVID-19 UPDATE With Regional Victoria now entering Stage 3 Restrictions, community sport is not allowed to continue during this minimum 6 week period, resulting in the current BASL Junior & Youth Seasons coming to a halt. And although the news is disheartening, the work and effort that all clubs undertook to get a season up and running was very much worth it to see the satisfaction and enjoyment on the faces of the kids for rounds that were completed.... We are now currently awaiting further official updates from the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League (BASL), as they weigh up all options in regards to if a season is viable or not. A official decision has not yet been made, we will communicate any updates when we receive them. As we are awaiting confirmation surrounding the potential end to the current season, as a club we are looking at alternative opportunities, if the season is cancelled, that we can provide to our players to get them on the pitch having a kick, when the Government says its safe to do so. We have received a few messages about fees, and what a potential cancellation means for fees. If a cancellation of the season was to occur, we would have to wait for BASL and Football Victoria (FV) to provide correspondence surrounding a refund of fees from the money they have received. As a club, our Committee will appropriately discuss and consider the options we have at the current moment in time, and once we receive all information from BASL & FV a formal decision will be made and communicated. We understand that everyones personal circumstances are altering day to day, and if you are in a position of financial hardship and may require help, please reach out and get in contact with us. For now we ask you all to please stay safe and healthy. We strongly encourage you all to adhere to Governments latest restrictions. If we want to return to normality, we need to follow these restrictions. Do you want to see your kids out on the pitch enjoying themselves again? We do, so if we all play our part we can achieve that sooner rather than later. We are more than just a club at Epsom, were a community. So check in with fellow players, parents, and families to ensure that they are healthy and safe. We are facing uncertain times, and that is very overwhelming to people, so reach out to others to see if theyre okay and dont hesitate reach out if you need help. For now though as a club, we will continue to try and offer support to our Epsom FC community. In doing so, we will communicate regular updates on what is occurring, important information and any assistance that may be available. If you have any question, please send us an inbox and we will get back to you. Stay safe, healthy and follow the rules. - The Epsom FC Committee

12.01.2022 Please be aware of the latest update from BASL below.

10.01.2022 Epsom Football Club Life Member Terry Jenkins has Sadly Passed Away Terry Jenkins was a valuable contributor to the club in a variety of roles over an extended period during the 1980s and 90s. He came to the club when his son Nathan signed to play with the Epsom juniors in the 1980s. With the club based at Howard Street Epsom (where the current supermarket now resides) with little to no infrastructure he was a key contributor on many projects including the building of the... then clubrooms, toilet block and canteen area. He was always willing to lend a hand and help grow the club in whatever way he could in our formative years. As Nathan progressed through the ranks, Terry was always there to lend encouragement to the Epsom players. He was well known for the odd chirp from the sideline when an opposition player was getting out of line. He was awarded Life Membership for his contribution to the red and blue in 1994. The Epsom Football Club extends its deepest sympathies to Pam, Nathan and the Jenkins family.
