Bromley vs Clapton CFC kicks off at 1pm on Sunday, February 23 2025 at Hayes Lane, Bromley, BR2 9EF
Finally, it’s time for Clapton CFC Women’s First Team to play their first away game of 2025, indeed the first for 106 days in a stop/start season.
Our last four away games have all been wins but a visit to the league leaders is a different prospect. Bromley have won nine games in a row, but they need that run to continue as second-placed Brentford have yet to drop a point all season.
The game is taking place in the main stadium at Hayes Lane. Note that tickets are cheaper in advance, details below.
About the opposition
Since merging with the men’s club in 2012/3, Bromley have progressed rapidly, winning a shed-load of trophies. Last season they finished in second place in London & South East Regional Women’s Football League Division One South, before being laterally moved to the North with us.
Form guide
It’s been a superb season so far and The Ravens are still in the hunt for promotion despite Brentford’s unbeaten season. They’ve dropped points in just two games – a defeat at Dulwich Hamlet Reserves and a draw with Actonians Reserves. With Brentford and Bromley still to meet twice, there could still be some twists and turns…
Previous meetings
In November, Bromley won 3-0 at the Old Spotted Dog Ground in front of 168 spectators. We’d met twice before then, in 2021/22 when both teams were promoted from the Greater London Women’s Football League Premier Division. At a muddy Stray Dog, we triumphed 3-0 thanks to goals from Emily Link (2) and Marta Casanovas in front of 202 spectators. In the return game at Hayes Lane, Bromley won it 2-0 and they eventually pipped us to the title.
Players to watch
Striker Leen Ekwo has scored 20 in 10 games for Bromley, having bagged 9 in 4 games for AFC Whyteleafe earlier in the season too. She scored one of Bromley’s three goals at the OSD earlier in the season.
