Clapton CFC’s first cup adventure ended in heartbreak last week in the nine-goal thriller in the BBC Essex Premier Cup against Hutton FC. However, don’t fret, there are still two more cup competitions for Geoff Ocran’s side to go for silverware – and it starts in Wembley on Saturday. Our opponents, South Kilburn Reserves, are […]
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 […]
After an historic win in their first competitive game, CCFC look to keep their momentum going with a win against Hutton FC in the 1st round of the BBC Essex Premier Cup. The Tons first competitive home fixture kicks off at The Stray Dog this Saturday at 2pm. If it’s level after 90 minutes, it […]
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 […]
An amazing afternoon for Clapton CFC’s first ‘home’ game as a determined Wanderers made it a very competitive friendly in front of a big crowd.

Never let it be said that we don’t like trying new things here at Clapton. In a summer of firsts, we played in the first ever match at Holland FC’s new ground and Clapton CFC were the first MCFL club ever to compete in the final of the Supporters Direct Cup – against England’s first […]
Clapton CFC are to play newly-promoted Hutton FC at home in the first round of the BBC Essex Premier Cup. Hutton, based in Brentwood, will play in the Essex Olympian Premier Division, one step above CCFC, this season after finishing runners-up last season. Last season in the Essex Premier Cup, Hutton reached the fourth round, […]
Epping Town are on a mission to go back to the glory days of the Seventies and Eighties. In the early 1980s they disappeared due to financial problems, despite the team reaching the Isthmian League, basking in their best ever FA Cup and FA Vase runs and playing the likes of West Ham and Spurs […]
Clapton notched up a second win in 7 days on Saturday, with an impressive victory over MCFL Div 1 counterparts, NW London, at the vast New River Stadium. Our second visit to North London in a week saw Geoff Ocran’s team put in arguably their most complete performance of pre-season to date against well drilled […]
