25.01.2022 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 1980’s and 90’s. He came to the club when his son Nathan signed to play with the Epsom juniors in the 1980’s. 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.

08.01.2022 LARNI GUIDICE MAKES NTC SQUAD Former Epsom FC Junior Player, Larni Guidice, has made the Football Victoria National Training Centre (NTC) Under 15 Girls Squad. The Epsom Football Club would like to congratulate Larni on this fantastic achievement and wish her all the best at the NTC. Larni has spent the last two seasons at Bendigo City, further developing her craft, and will now play for the prestigious NTC U15 Girls in the NPL Girls competition. ... Her former Epsom Coaches, Ryan Braszell and Tyler Mclennan, said "‘having coached Larni in 2018, it was obvious from the way she conducted herself, on and off the pitch, that she was destined to play at a very high level. Despite predominantly playing against 11 and 12 year old boys, much bigger than herself, Larni was consistently one of the best players on the pitch." "Off the field, Larni was always the first person to training and the last one to leave, always trying to improve herself and gain whatever feedback possible. Larni was always a tremendous leader, tried to lift those around her and make them better players, and always did it with a smile on her face." "We both would like to say a massive congratulations to Larni on this fantastic achievement and look forward to seeing her progress even higher in the future. - Epsom Football Club

03.01.2022 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 everyone's 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 Government's 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, we're 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 they're okay and don't 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
