AS London vs Clapton Community FC takes place on Saturday, January 3 2025 with a 3pm kick off at New River Stadium, White Hart Lane, Wood Green, Haringey, N22 5QW
We start 2026 with a short trip to Wood Green looking to avenge two defeats to AS London this season.
About the opposition
AS London formed in 1991 as Park View and originally drew players from London’s Ghanaian community. They joined the Middlesex County Football League Division One Central & East and won it in the first season – exactly like we did a decade later. Since then they’ve progressed through the levels and narrowly missed out on promotion again last season, losing in the play-offs. Last season was their first under their new name, which stands for All Stars London.
Previous meetings
Earlier this season AS London beat us 2-1 in the league, despite a Cameron Gordon goal. They also beat us on penalties in the League Cup after a 0-0 draw in 90 minutes.
We did the double over Park View two seasons ago, winning 4-0 at home then 5-2 away at New River Stadium.
Form guide
AS London have changed management since they beat us, with Joe Olabanji recently replacing Frankie Sinclair. He’s had a tough fixture list but drew with Stansted and lost by the odd goal to Coggeshall Town and Lymore Gardens – all three of them in the top five.
Player/s to watch
Top scorer Naim Mejdoubi is on 7, including a goal scored against us earlier in the season.
Admission
Admission is £8, or £6 concessions with U16s free.
