Epping Town went onto to join the Athenian League and Isthmian League which they withdrew from midway through the 1984/85 season and folded due to financial problems. 

The modern day Epping FC joined the Essex Olympian League in 1976 and became Eppingsale in 1992 and then eventually just Epping in 1999.
