Clapton CFC Over 35s played St Pauli-on-Sea from Southend on Saturday (December 7) to fundraise for the charity The Magpie Project.  

Due to the wet and stormy weather, the game was switched from the Stray Dog grass pitch at Wadham Lodge in Walthamstow to the 3G pitch next door.

It ended up as a 4-3 win for the visitors but more importantly £530 was raised via the crowdfunder page here.

The Magpie Project provides a safe and fun place for mums and under-fives in Newham who suffer in temporary or insecure accommodation.

• £3 will pay for a mum to get to us on the bus (sometimes saving her a two-hour walk)
• £7 will pay for nappies and wipes to ensure a baby is comfortable and dry
• £30 will cover a lunch for everyone that comes to us in one day
