However, Leatherhead snatched a point scoring in the 8th minute of the 4 minutes of injury time !!!

The Moles have their last game before Christmas with a home tie against Leatherhead FC.
Matchday: Monday 23rd December. KO 7.45pm
Leatherhead came into being in its’ current form with the merger of Leatherhead Rose and Leatherhead United just after the end of the Second World War. They based themselves at the home of Leatherhead United, Fetcham Grove. This is still there home to this day.
The merger club won the Surrey League four times in a row before moving across to the Metropolitan and District league in 1950.
In the 1970s, they had several runs deep into the FA Cup. In 1974, they beat Colchester in the 2nd round, Brighton in the 3rd round before losing 3-2 away at Leicester City despite being 2-0 up.
They struggled in the early 1980s and were relegated down to Isthmian Division 2. In 2011, they had an extra time win over Dulwich Hamlet to take them back into the Premier Division. They only survived for one season before being relegated back to Division One South. Another promoted via playoffs and relegated places them into the South Central Division.
Last season, the Moles lost 2-0 to Leatherhead in both games. Whilst the 2022/23 will be remembered for a thrilling 2-2 draw on the last day of the season.

Following a pitch inspection, the game against Rayners Lane (14th December) has been postponed.
Please keep an eye on the website and social media for the rearranged date.
After two postponements, the Moles are back in action against league newcomers Rayners Lane.
Matchday: Saturday 14th December. KO 3pm
Rayners Lane Football Club were founded in 1933. The club initially joined the Spartan League in the 1960s but left in 1970, returning briefly between 1973 and 1975, during which they reached the Second Round of the FA Vase. In 1978, they joined the Hellenic Football League Division One and achieved notable success by winning the league title in the 1981-82 season, leading to promotion to the Premier Division. Despite a strong showing in the FA Cup during the late ’80s and early ’90s, Rayners Lane faced challenges, including relegation in 1994 due to floodlight issues. The club transitioned through various leagues, including the Middlesex League and Chiltonian League, before settling into the Combined Counties Football League.
In recent years, Rayners Lane has experienced a resurgence under new management. The 2012-13 season saw them win the Hellenic Football League Division One East title but miss promotion due to ground grading issues. After several managerial changes, including David Fox’s appointment in June 2017, the club made significant strides. They won their first Middlesex Premier Cup in April 2023 and secured promotion to Step 5 after a playoff victory. The following season marked another milestone as they achieved promotion to Step 4 for the first time in their history by defeating Bedfont Sports on penalties.
Rayners Lane currently sit in 13th position on 24 points which is 3 point and 2 positions above the Moles.

The Allieds won 3-2 away at Windsor & Eton.
A good first half saw them go in 1 nil up goal from Mitch Woozley, and there should of been more.
2nd half we were sloppy with Windsor the better team coming back to 1 all. They then went 2-1 through Jack Saleh credit to Windsor with 5 minutes left they made it 2 all.
This season the squad have never given up and Matt Tweed scored the winner with 1 minute to go. Next game is Monday at home to Thatcham Town FC.
The Allieds November player of month is Rhys Littleford
This is Rhys’s first season with Allieds. He came from our U16 Tornadoes as a centre back. Though the goal scorers normally take the credit and we scored some exceptional goals in November, we felt Rhys has shown real quality in his role who leads by example and great communicator for someone so young in the CB role has led to him become a regular starter for the Allieds.
