An online campaign in 2014 – spearheaded by white men – pushed games publishers to reject calls for greater representation for women and people of […]
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 […]
It’s our first Saturday home game for two months and it’s a big one as we enter the last few weeks of the season.. There’s been a lot of highs already but there could be more to come. It’s really simple – win our last three games of the season and we win the Middlesex […]

The first of two cup finals the Tons have reached this season takes us to Honeycroft, Uxbridge FC’s home ground in West Drayton. Our opponents […]
