Clapton Community return home after over a month on the road this Wednesday evening. Well, almost home. They will be welcoming NW London to the Wadham Lodge Sports Ground – next to the Stray Dog – for this crucial league clash. The Tons notched a 3-1 pre-season win at the New River Stadium in Haringey […]
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 […]
This Saturday Clapton CFC get back to league business with a third game against Eastfield FC of the season. The two clubs previously faced each other in a hard fought 1-1 draw at the Stray Dog in December. A young Eastfield side put in a strong performance in front of a boisterous home crowd. The […]
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. […]
Clapton Community FC are honoured to be the opponents for Barkingside FC’s 120th season anniversary match. Barkingside formed in 1888 and played in local leagues for the first few decades before moving post-war to the London League, the Spartan South Midlands League and the Essex Senior League. Along the way they’ve won the London Senior […]
Clapton CFC are through to the final of the Anagram Records Trophy, aka the Capital Counties Feeder League Trophy. It comes after wins against Epping Town at home (3-1), Letchworth Garden City Eagles away (2-0), Chipperfield Corinthians at home (3-0) and Ware Sports away (3-1). It’s going to be another game against higher level opposition […]
Ware are we going this weekend? To the Anagram Records Trophy semis in Hertfordshire, of course.. Clapton CFC look to continue their strong form by securing a spot in their second cup final. To achieve this they will have to get past higher league opposition again on their own ground. Ware Sports FC will come into […]
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 […]
This Saturday, Clapton Community have a crucial league clash against Walthamstow neighbours FC Star London. The Romanian heritage side currently sit sixth in the table, a point behind Clapton. Only a win will do for both sides if they wish to escape the mid-table pack and make a late bid to reel in Stonewall and […]
It was inevitable that this game wouldn’t feel like much of an event. These teams have seen a lot of each other recently. This wasn’t a cup semi-final. But Clapton emerged with the three points, in spite of the best efforts of a Wilberforce Wanderers side that was noticeably more energised, motivated and willing to use […]
Can we play you every week? Yes, apparently we can. It’s déjà vu all over again this Saturday, as CCFC travel back to White Hart Lane to take on Wilberforce Wanderers – this time in the league. The Tons ran out comfortable 4-1 winners in last weekend’s Jim Rogers President’s Cup semi. Sizzling Sherwin Stanley bagged […]
Clapton CFC members have voted to buy a mobile defibrillator out of club funds to take to away games. At our temporary home, the Stray Dog, we have access to a defibrillator as well as accredited CPR and defibrillator-trained volunteers among us. If a player – or supporter – at the Stray Dog or adjoining pitches faces […]
Is Haringey windier than the other parts of London, or have CCFC just happened to play there on the two windiest days of the year? As with the 2-1 loss to NW London in the adjoining stadium last month, the wind was the twelfth player for whichever team had it at their tails. Although the crowd […]
Fancy lacing up your boots…and taking to the pitch in our famous purple, red and yellow jersey? We are looking for members who would like to represent CCFC in a fan tournament in celebration of International Women’s Day. The event is organised by Girls United and Peckham Town for the 10th of March, in the […]
It’s act two of a three act play this Saturday on White Hart Lane. Clapton Community take on Wilberforce Wanderers three times in little over a month. Sandwiched between two league games, this one is bound to be high drama, with a place in the final of the Jim Rogers President’s Division One Cup at […]
At the game against Chipperfield Corinthians we welcomed the brilliant football charity Crossworld FC who are facing a major funding shortfall. Crossworld FC, which was set up in 2006, uses football as a means of empowering young people from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds. However, the £2,000 shortfall now leaves them in danger of not […]
A resolute defensive display against a well-drilled, higher-league opposition paid off for Clapton as they defeated Chipperfield Corinthians 3-0 in the quarter finals of the Anagram Records Trophy. However, it was by no means straightforward with the Corinthians, who play a division higher than CCFC, completely dominating a goalless first half only for the game […]
Clapton CFC members have been blown away by the interest in our replica away shirt. But it could so easily have been a different design. As a members-owned, fan-run club, we try to put decisions to a democratic vote where possible. So in the summer, we invited members to submit a design for an away […]
Have your vocal chords recovered yet? After running rampant against league leaders Stonewall FC last week, cup fever is coming to the Stray Dog. Clapton CFC will be in action in the Anagram Records Trophy – aka the Capital Counties Feeder League Trophy – this Saturday against Chipperfield Corinthians. The competition sponsored by the punk […]
