What a season it has been…
Our women’s and men’s first teams both won their league cups and the women’s first team and men’s development team were promoted, the latter as champions.
Our women’s first team also made history by reaching the third round of the FA Cup, and beating a team four divisions higher, helping to force a change in the prize money rules.
Our women’s 5s teams won the Amsterdam Weekender tournament and the Super 5s League.
So the end of season awards on May 29 at the Walthamstow Trades Hall was a time to allow ourselves to look back at what we’ve done and honour some of the players for their achievements.
The news of the women’s first team promotion was announced live on stage by head coach Claudio Gomes, simultaneously posted on our website and social media.
Thanks to all who organised the event, who presented the awards, who attended and who voted.

As someone who was involved with Clapton FC in the late 80s – the Mike Fogg, Iain Hollowell, Paul Upton era – I am astonished at the progress that CCFC have made both on and off the field in such a short time. Securing the future of Spotted Dog is a remarkable achievement given the obstacles that were – and still are – put in the club’s way. CCFC is now the locally-popular, completely inclusive club that some of us fantasised about thirty years ago. I look forward to visiting the Dog once it’s hosting games again.
