The Clapton CFC Women’s First Team will play Dulwich Hamlet Reserves in the final of the London & South East Regional Women’s Football League Trophy.

The game has been scheduled by the LSERWFL for Sunday, May 25 at 3.30pm at Dorking Wanderers’ Meadowbank Stadium. Further information in due course.

Clapton CFC reached the final by beating Soccer Elite Football Academy 2-0 in the semi-final at the sunny Old Spotted Dog Ground on Sunday in front of 467 spectators.

In earlier rounds we beat Hackney and Ashford United, both also at home. Dulwich meanwhile beat Bognor Regis Town, Bexhill United and Newhaven at home, and Ashmount Leigh away.

In our meetings in the league earlier in the season, we lost 2-1 away and drew 0-0 at home.

This will be the CCFC Women’s First Team’s second appearance in the LSEWRFL final. In 2023, we lost 5-3 after extra time against Ashford United at Maidstone United’s Gallagher Stadium.

There have been two other final appearances, both in 2022 – a 1-0 defeat against Dorking Wanderers in the Capital Women’s Cup final at their own ground, and a 1-0 win against Enfield Town Thirds in the John Greenacre Memorial Trophy at Bedfont Sports.
