In pictures: Clapton CFC matchday programme covers for 2018/9 season
Clapton CFC’s comms team put a lot of effort into the matchday programme, including a new eye-catching front cover design each match. We called out for artists/designers/illustrators to put themselves forward to design one of the covers and the response was amazing. You can read more about the programme with our in-depth interview with Ed […]
Clapton CFC vs Clapton Legends preview: All back to ours for one last party
It’s been a crazy 10 months since Clapton Community FC’s first game, a 5-0 seaside friendly defeat against Holland FC. The Middlesex County Football League Division One season drew to a close last week with a 3-0 win in front of 1,266 people to clinch the title. The fans and players have grown together in […]
FC Roast 0 Clapton CFC 3: Adejokun fires Tons to title glory
Clapton beat FC Roast 3-0 to pip Stonewall FC to the Middlesex Counties First Division (East and Central) title, by just a single point. This also clinched promotion to the Middlesex Counties Premier League. Next season there will be games with the likes of Pitshanger Dynamo, Indian Gymkhana and Larkspur Rovers. We don’t know exactly where they […]
FC Roast vs Clapton CFC preview: biggest game of season as win clinches league title
There is only one match left at the business end of the 2018-19 Middlesex Counties Division One East and Central. No more complicated permutations. Only one more ‘if’ and only one more ‘but’. If Clapton Community beat FC Roast on Saturday, they are champions. But if they don’t, Stonewall FC take the title. Simple as […]
Catholic United FC 5 Clapton CFC 1: Cup hopes washed away in second half goal deluge
The cup double wasn’t to be. Despite taking an early lead the Tons could not keep their ruthless opponents at bay. Catholic United stepped up their game in the second half to retain the Anagram Records Trophy in style. Geoff Ocran was able to welcome back left back Liam Smyth, who missed out due to […]
Clapton CFC 3 London Samurai Rovers 2: Nerve-shredding win puts title within reach
Clapton have won yet another game they had no right to win. The previous weekend, 4-2 down at half time. Torn to shreds by The Curve’s pacy attackers. Roaring back in the second half to win 6-5. This time, enduring an onslaught from some of the classiest players we’ve seen grace the Stray Dog. Holding […]
Clapton CFC 6 The Curve FC 5: Tons come back from dead on Easter weekend
With every game, Clapton pull out a more improbable, more outrageous win. They keep one-upping themselves in the drama stakes. As with their battling Jim Rogers Cup triumph over Hilltop FC the previous weekend, the Tons put in a mixed performance against The Curve. The margins were fine. There was some bad, but there was […]
Clapton CFC 2 Hilltop FC 2 (5-3 on pens): Rabia spotkick seals first silverware of new fan-owned era
On July 22 2018, Clapton Community took on Holland FC in their first game. They were beaten 5-0 in that friendly on the Essex coast. Less than nine months later, they have their hands on the first trophy of this new chapter of Clapton history. A nerve-shredding penalty shootout win over Hilltop FC at Uxbridge […]
CE Jupiter 5 Clapton CFC 0: Battling Tons beaten on momentous evening in Barcelona
Fans came from near and far to see Clapton’s historic overseas friendly with CE Júpiter. There were those who had followed from East London. There were familiar faces from the Clapton Ultras days who now live in the area. As a pleasant surprise, there were also a couple of Sant Miquel players, a three-hour round trip […]
Clapton CFC 2 UE Sant Miquel 6: Competitive clash in the friendliest of friendlies
This was the friendliest of friendlies. From the (for once acceptable) half-and-half scarves, to the fans singing songs together, to the joyous post-match scenes. But Sant Miquel, from the eighth tier of Spanish football, are also the kind of friends who beat the crap out of you for a laugh. A late flurry of goals […]
Hereford Palace 1 Clapton CFC 4: Low-key win to kickstart big weekend
Saturday saw the Tons taking to the pitch for the first of three games in three days and it’s safe to say this was a bit less glamorous than the trip to Barcelona. Since last Saturday’s sunny fixture at Eastfield FC the weather had taken a distinct turn for the worse. Plenty of layers were needed […]
Clapton CFC 4 NW London FC 4: Bittersweet night as Tons salvage point but title hopes fade
It was a big evening in North East London as fans of a historic club got to experience the unfamiliar surroundings of a bigger stadium next door. And as the expectant hordes crammed onto the Victoria Line, they realised Spurs were opening their new ground on the very same night. The match at the Wadham […]
Eastfield FC 4 Clapton CFC 6: Leyton gains for CCFC in topsy-turvy ten-goal nail-biter
Some games just don’t make sense. Clapton came from behind, raced into a massive lead, almost threw that lead away, then restored a comfortable lead in 90 chaotic minutes in Leyton. At times, it felt more like a basketball game (but enjoyable). In the end, Sherwin Stanley’s three goals, assist and all round menace got […]
Barkingside 0 Clapton CFC 0: Tons hold firm in home side’s anniversary match
Clapton CFC earned our first ever nil-nil draw as Step 5 side Barkingside celebrated their 120th season. Player-manager Geoff Ocran rang the changes, with players such as Bogdan Panescu, Jon Akaly, Phil Blakesley and Tom Carding handed a chance to stake their claim for a more regular spot. However, it was the subs bench that […]
Ware Sports FC 1 Clapton CFC 3: Stanley-inspired comeback seals second cup final spot
Clapton Community’s remarkable form continued as they dispatched Ware Sports in the semi-final of the Anagram Records Trophy. The Tons didn’t let a missed penalty, niggly opponents or a card-happy ref derail them. A double from Sherwin Stanley and another from Jake Stevens got them over the line. Today’s line-up in the Anagram Records Trophy. […]
FC Star London 1 Clapton CFC 3: Tons overcome elements and opponents for derby win
In tricky conditions, Clapton Community kept their winning run going away to Walthamstow rivals FC Star London. As seems to be the case every time the Tons have played this year, it was blowing a gale. The ball was flying all over the place in a highly unpredictable manner. Most corners just flew directly out […]
