Bedfont & Feltham has a County cup match on 22nd Jan so the League cup match will have to be rearranged.

The Combined Counties League held an EGM prior to their AGM to decide upon a proposal to remove AC London from the proposed constitution for 2018-2019 as the organisation and management of the club had fallen below the standards appropriate to membership of the competition. It is likely that the club will appeal to the FA and they have been included in the cup draws for the time being. If there is no appeal or any such appeal fails, the club(s) against whom they have been drawn will receive a bye into the next round. Other matters of note were that the issue of paper programmes will be optional next season, along with the alternative of producing a programme on-line. It was also noted that the final senior constitutions would always be subject to any enforced move required or requested by the FA. The league and cup winners were re-presented whilst the other awards were as follows: Best Programme (Premier Division): Guildford City Best Programme (Division One): Ash United Fair Play Winners (Premier Division): Balham Fair Play Winners (Division One): Raynes Park Vale Best Administered Club (Premier Division): Spelthorne Sports Best Administered Club (Division One): Bedfont & Feltham There were also medals for the leading scorer in both divisions and these were picked up by Max Blackmore (Westfield) 48 goals and Harrison Deacon (Worcester Park) 46 goals. In “outside" competitions, the most praiseworthy achievement was that of Balham FC, who won the London Senior Cup. Staines Lammas won the Southern Combination Challenge Cup, beating premier Division CB Hounslow in an enthralling final played at Bedfont Sports. The Middlesex Charity Cup was also an all-CCL affair with Hanworth Villa defeating Spelthorne Sports. Other worthy mentions went to Worcester Park, finalists in the Surrey Premier Cup and Eversley & California, finalists in the Aldershot Senior Cup. The Chairman welcomed the new or returning clubs to the League, namely Southall, Dorking Wanderers Reserves, British Airways, Tooting Bec and Sandhurst Town. He sent the League’s best wishes to those clubs leaving the League, namely North Greenford United, Bedfont Sports, Westfield, Farleigh Rovers, Staines Lammas, Worcester Park and South Park Reserves.

The draws were made for the opening two rounds of the Cherry Red Records Premier Challenge Cup and the Esoteric Recordings Division One Challenge Cup as follows: Cherry Red Records Premier Challenge Cup, 2018-2019 (39 CLUBS) 1st Round (7 matches) (25 clubs receive byes) 1 Camberley Town v Cobham 2 Horley Town v Chertsey Town 3 Badshot Lea v Walton & Hersham 4 FC Deportivo Galicia v Cove 5 Chessington & Hook United v AFC Hayes 6 Farnham Town v Southall 7 Hanworth Villa v Kensington Borough 2nd Round (16 MATCHES) 1 Bedfont & Feltham v Tooting Bec 2 Sheerwater v Balham 3 Ash United v Fleet Spurs 4 Frimley Green v Guildford City 5 Godalming Town v Dorking Wanderers Res 6 Abbey Rangers v Redhill 7 FC Deportivo or Cove v AC London (prov) 8 Camberley Town or Cobham v Chessington & Hook United or AFC Hayes 9 CB Hounslow United v Badshot Lea or Walton & Hersham 10 Hanworth Villa or Kensington Borough v Sandhurst Town 11 Epsom & Ewell v Bagshot 12 Sutton Common Rovers v Farnham Town or Southall 13 Horley Town or Chertsey Town v British Airways 14 Eversley & California v Knaphill 15 Banstead Athletic v Colliers Wood United 16 Spelthorne Sports v Raynes Park Vale Esoteric Recordings Cup, 2018-2019 (19 clubs) 1st Round 3 matches, 13 byes) 1 Farnham Town v Godalming Town 2 Cove v British Airways 3 FC Deportivo Galicia v AC London 2nd Round (8 matches) 1 Eversley & California v Bedfont & Feltham 2 Epsom & Ewell v Sandhurst Town 3 Tooting Bec v Ash United 4 Kensington Borough v FC Deportivo Galicia or AC London 5.

That’s good to hear. It would be a shame to lose such a club due to impending changes.

It gets worse. Much worse... https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/dorking-wanderers-meadowbank-stadium-been-14417507

We can't really play a team in our own division but thanks.
