Manager Notes
Today, we welcome Banstead Athletic to Culver Road for what is undoubtedly a massive six-pointer in our season This is a game that could have significant implications for our league position, and we must approach it with the utmost focus and intensity
We come off the back of an excellent performance against Forest Row, where we showcased what we're capable of when we play to our strengths That display was a testament to our hard work on the training ground and the unity within the squad Now, we must build on that momentum and ensure that today’s result reflects the quality and determination we ’ ve shown in recent weeks
Banstead Athletic will not make things easy for us They’ll come here looking to put in a strong performance of their own, but we have to make sure we control the game from the start. It's crucial that we remain disciplined, stay compact defensively, and press them high when the opportunity arises. We need to be aggressive, show our quality, and execute the game plan with precision.
Remember, every point matters in the tight race we're involved in, and today’s game is no exception. Let’s make sure we turn up, fight for every ball, and make the most of every opportunity. This is our home ground, and it’s vital we make it a fortress.
Let’s stay focused, stay together, and make sure we take three points today
Key Points:
- Build on the positive momentum from Forest Row
- Be aggressive and assertive from the first whistle
- Control possession and be clinical in front of goal
- Defend as a unit and make sure we don’t give Banstead any easy chances
Let’s go out and deliver a performance we can all be proud of!

ACTION
The club was established in 1944 as Banstead Juniors, before adopting their current name during the 1946–47 season.[2] After winning the Surrey Intermediate Cup that season, the club won back-to-back league titles before moving up to the Surrey Senior League in 1949.[2] They finished as runners-up in their first season, and went on to win four consecutive league titles between 1950–51 and 1953–54, with Harry Clark scoring 81 goals in 26 games in 1950–51.[2] The next two seasons saw them finish as runnersup to Dorking, before they won their fifth title in 1956–57.[3] Although they finished as runners-up again for the next two seasons, the club went into decline at the start of the 1960s, and finished second-from-bottom in 1961–62.[3]
The 1964–65 season saw Banstead win their sixth Surrey Senior League title, claiming the championship on goal average from Chobham, and they moved up to the Spartan League.[3][4] When the league merged with the Metropolitan–London League in 1975, forming the London Spartan League, Banstead were placed in Division One.[4]
In 1979 the club switched to the Athenian League, where they remained until it disbanded in 1984, winning the League Cup in 1980–81. When the league folded most clubs (including Banstead) joining the Isthmian League, with Banstead placed in Division Two South.[4] The league was reorganised in 1991, with the club placed in Division Two.[4] They remained in the division until 2002 when further league reorganisation saw them moved to Division One South. Two years later another reorganisation saw them placed in Division One.[4]
At the end of the 2005–06 season Banstead resigned from the Isthmian League and dropped into the Combined Counties League Premier Division. After finishing bottom of the division in 2011–12 they were relegated to Division One.[4] They were Division One champions in 2016–17, earning promotion back to the Premier Division. Following league reorganisation in 2021 the club were placed in the Premier Division South. However, after finishing second-from-bottom of the division in 2022–23 they were relegated to Division One of the Southern Combination.
