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 […]
Some of you may recognise Nick (pictured above) and his story. We tweeted about the campaign to save him from deportation back in November last year. Here it is in his own words. Becoming a member of Clapton CFC has been an amazing experience for me. I was recently deported from Canada for things I […]
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 […]
I first heard about Clapton CFC via the club’s now famous away shirt. Commemorating the end of the Spanish Civil War with the ‘No Pasarán’ International Brigades shirt was a brilliant idea. It also made me curious about the way that Clapton Community Football Club was organised. For me it’s about more than football. When […]
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 […]
