Wow! We’re delighted to announce that 100 people signed up for the DKMS stem cell register on Saturday at our match against Stonewall FC. The DKMS Football vs Blood Cancer drive had an amazing response with more than 15% of the total attendance of 618 registering. That’s substantially more than expected by the charity. That is […]
Forget Man City’s thrashing of Chelsea, or the QPR-Birmingham epic at Loftus Road, last week’s biggest football story was about a Bahraini full back being released from detention in Thailand. Hakeem al-Araibi fled Bahrain after the 2011 crackdown on protests and was given asylum in Australia, where he plays for Pascoe Vale in Melbourne. But […]
A visit to the Stray Dog from league leaders and world-famous LGBT football team Stonewall FC is probably the marquee event of our season so far. Clapton Community FC player-manager Geoff Ocran’s side are sure to be fired up after our 4-0 away defeat in January, a match that was much more competitive than the […]
Clapton Community FC aims to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive place for everyone, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. So we are delighted to support Football v Homophobia at our game on Saturday during their tenth annual month of action. FvH is an international initiative opposing homophobia and celebrating diversity in football […]
We’re teaming up with charity DKMS for a big push this weekend for Football vs Blood Cancer, a campaign that members voted to support. Before and after the game against Stonewall FC on Saturday we’ll be encouraging you to spare a few minutes to join the blood stem cell donor register. Clubs such as Everton, […]
Storm Erik was a wildcard factor in this closely-fought encounter between North West London and Clapton CFC in Haringey. It was the hosts who took the three points in this hastily-rearranged game courtesy of a contentious late goal against a weakened but battling CCFC side. The management of Clapton had had a difficult week in terms […]
Clapton CFC travel to take on NW London FC in a noon kick-off this Saturday, with the Tons hoping to build on a recent run of good form. The fixture was originally scheduled for April, but both teams were free this weekend. So they thought: why not? North by northwest NW London were formed in 2015 by friends from […]
In January 2019, Clapton CFC spent £35,119.88, with the largest costs (£24,646.92) once again going towards the production and distribution of our replica shirts: another 1500 were produced this month. The month also saw the club finish construction of our temporary new stand, which so far has cost us £5,034.18. We also settled our half […]
Clapton consolidated their recent upturn in form with a statement win against Wilberforce Wanderers at the weekend. The scoreline probably didn’t do justice to a tidy away side, but the majority of the chances fell to the men in red and white. And the men in red and white ruthlessly dispatched quite a lot of those […]
We have an exciting film screening and raffle to announce for Tons members, fans and friends. Forest Gate venue The Wanstead Tap – which is run by CCFC member Dan Clapton – is screening the brilliant film Nae Pasaran to raise funds for the club. The 2018 documentary tells the inspirational story of workers at […]
