“2.00 is the Magic Number”

Epsom Eagles monitor their teams in several ways.

This website provides comprehensive information regarding fixtures, results, match reports and squad details

In addition teams are monitored on an AVERAGE POINTS PER GAME Basis.

Taking traditional points awards (3 for win, 1 for draw and 0 for loss) and applying this to all COMPETITIVE matches per team (League, Cup and where applicable friendlies), this give the club a sharp guide as to how a particular team is performing. This allows the club to divert resources to help teams that are struggling.

It is the stated aim of the club to go into each game to win – fairly and squarely. With this in mind, all teams are placed in leagues where they can compete to the best of their ability. It is no fun for the players to be in a league where they lose heavily each week. Equally it is no challenge where a team wins too easily each week.

Having made the right choice of league, it is then a club goal to see each team achieve an average points score per game of 2.00 or above (See performance per week and team results).

Generally a team with avg 2.00 or above will be challenging for (and winning) trophies at their level – this is what Epsom Eagles teams are expected to do.

Across the club we have another more ambitious goal – to raise the club-wide average points per game across ALL Teams to 2.00. Season 2004/5 looks like ending on a creditable 1.81. We strive to improve this towards 2.00 in 2005/6

2.00 is the magic number
