  Clapton CFC vs FC Baresi | Eastern Counties Football League Division One South |
An amazing afternoon for Clapton CFC’s first ‘home’ game as a determined Wanderers made it a very competitive friendly in front of a big crowd. Player-manager Geoff Ocran named a relatively settled starting XI but with two debutants on the bench – attacker Charlie Fagan and midfielder Paul Oshin. The latter is very familiar to […]
Never let it be said that we don’t like trying new things here at Clapton. In a summer of firsts, we played in the first ever match at Holland FC’s new ground and Clapton CFC were the first MCFL club ever to compete in the final of the Supporters Direct Cup – against England’s first […]
Clapton CFC are to play newly-promoted Hutton FC at home in the first round of the BBC Essex Premier Cup. Hutton, based in Brentwood, will play in the Essex Olympian Premier Division, one step above CCFC, this season after finishing runners-up last season. Last season in the Essex Premier Cup, Hutton reached the fourth round, […]
Epping Town are on a mission to go back to the glory days of the Seventies and Eighties. In the early 1980s they disappeared due to financial problems, despite the team reaching the Isthmian League, basking in their best ever FA Cup and FA Vase runs and playing the likes of West Ham and Spurs […]
Clapton notched up a second win in 7 days on Saturday, with an impressive victory over MCFL Div 1 counterparts, NW London, at the vast New River Stadium. Our second visit to North London in a week saw Geoff Ocran’s team put in arguably their most complete performance of pre-season to date against well drilled […]
After the glamour games and the free hits, the serious preparation for the league season begins. A shot at silverware against Step 3 Enfield Town at their lovely stadium; a trip to the seaside to open Step 6 Holland FC‘s impressive new £550,000 facility; and a visit to the immaculate second stadium on the Olympic Park […]
Clapton CFC defied the five-division gap to push Enfield Town hard but ultimately lost out in the Brian Lomax Supporters Direct Cup with late goals in both halves. The Tons were missing player-manager Geoff Ocran – out with a minor knee injury – as they had their first shot at silverware in only their fourth […]
This Tuesday, Clapton CFC’s pre-season schedule moves up a gear with the chance of lifting some silverware against Enfield Town. The venue is the beautiful, Grade II-listed Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, which is holding its second cup final of the summer, having already hosted the ConIFA World Cup for non-FIFA affiliated regions. Enfield Town and […]
Eliot Crosbie smashed home Clapton CFC’s first ever goal to put the Tons on their way to a hugely impressive victory in the East London sunshine. After games at much higher opposition Holland FC and West Essex, player-manager Geoff Ocran had earmarked this as the first chance to properly gauge how his newly-formed team would […]
After a gruelling first test by the seaside in week one, Clapton dusted themselves off, stepping up against even tougher opposition last Sunday against West Essex. In terms of league standing, the ESL side represent our most difficult game of pre-season, sitting three divisions above us in the non-league pyramid. While the 3-0 result wasn’t […]
