  Clapton CFC vs FC Baresi | Eastern Counties Football League Division One South |
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
