Actonians Reserves vs Clapton Community FC takes place on Sunday, November 9 2025 with a 2pm kick off at the Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub, Popes Lane London W3 8LQ
Just 21 days after our last trip to Gunnersbury Park, we head there again, this time in the London & South East Regional Women’s Football League Cup second round.
Since then, the team have been on a good run, winning all three games and conceding just one goal.
This will be the eighth away game in nine games in a gruelling schedule for the Clapton CFC Women’s First Team.
It is one of two cup competitions we’re left in – with the other taking place next week when we host Denham United in the Capital Women’s Cup. Finally, a home game on a Sunday.
About the competition
This is one of two league cup competitions that the L&SERWFL operates. All teams start in the L&SERWFL Cup then the losers in the first two rounds drop into the LSEWFL Trophy. So the winners of this tie will stay in the competition, while the losers will enter the L&SERWFL Trophy.
In the last round, we beat Hastings United for our second ever win in the L&SERWFL Cup – away at Welling United in 2023 being the other. In the L&SERWFL Trophy, we’ve fared much better, reaching the final twice, including last season against Dulwich Hamlet Res…
