On a drizzly autumn day, just over 400 people saw Clapton CFC’s first competitive game at the Stray Dog – and they were treated to a barnstormer that will live long in the memory. The Tons looked dead and buried at half-time but mounted a dramatic comeback, only to lose out to the odd goal […]
Clapton Community FC staged a fine second half comeback to get the league season up and running with three points – but it was mighty close. Player-manager Geoff Ocran selected a familiar looking side that had bonded over the long pre-season. Two names missing, however, were goalkeeper Vlad Bendovskyy and forward Bogdan Panescu, whose international clearance have […]
The friendlies are now over – finally – and Clapton CFC signed off pre-season with a narrow win and a first clean sheet. With Clapton CFC’s temporary new home The Stray Dog having been booked by another team, the game had to be played at noon on a 3G pitch nearby with no space for […]

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.

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 […]
Clapton CFC succumbed to a 3-0 defeat against West Essex on a drizzly afternoon at the London Marathon Community Track, but there were plenty of positives for player-manager Geoff Ocran to take into next Saturday’s game against Sporting Hackney. A much-improved CCFC showed cohesion and looked dangerous on the counter attack against their ESL opponents. […]
A joyous day by the seaside saw Holland FC open their new £550,000 ground with a bumper crowd and a thumping win – while Clapton CFC’s new-look side took plenty of positives on their very first outing.
