Clapton CFC Vs FC Romania 
📍Old Spotted Dog Ground 
Tickets: £5 🎟️
Attendance: 1712 

The last league home game of the season for Clapton CFC. 

A quick start to the game saw the hosts take the lead just after six minutes. A free kick was delivered in from the No.30 on the edge of the box and headed into the back of the net by the No.9. 

A few minutes later, FC Romania managed to equalise. A ball into the box wasn't dealt with properly and allowed the No.10 to smash the ball in from close range. 

With half an hour on the clock, the away side managed to take the lead. Yet again another cross into the box wasn't dealt with and this time allowed the No.7 to tap the ball in from close range. 

Just before the half time break, Clapton CFC equalised. A brilliant weaving run from the No.7 which resulted in him having a shot on goal. The first effort was initially saved but the ball was parried out to the No.29 who tucked the ball underneath the goalkeeper. 

Late on in the second half, the hosts finally managed to take the lead. The ball was played through to the No.17 who found himself one on one with the goalkeeper. He managed to tuck the ball under the on rushing goaklk and eventually the ball rolled into the back of the net. 

Clapton CFC then secured the victory a few minutes from time thanks to the No.17 again. The No.24 picked up the ball in the middle of the park and started to drive forward. He bided his time and played a brilliant ball through to the forward who rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball home. 

The final whistle then went with Clapton CFC winning the game 4-2. They will now take on Lynmore Gardens in the play off semi final.

Corby Town Vs AFC Rushden & Diamonds  📍 Steel Park  Tickets: £12 The first game of the new year and my first time for quite a while venturing out of London to watch a game of football.  It was the away side who took the lead with only five minutes played. A free kick was swung into the box from the edge of the area and met by the head of the No.4 and captain, who saw his effort loop over the keeper and into the net.  The rest of the action in the first half was rather scrappy in fairness, which resulted in not a lot of chances for either side being created.  Three minutes after the break, it was the captain again who doubled Rushdens lead. A swift counter attack resulted in the ball being played up to the No.10. He then held the ball up and played it through to the No.4 who found himself one on one with the goalkeeper. He kept his composure and slotted the ball underneath the goalkeeper and sent the away end into madness.  Once again though the game tu...

17/01/26 - Ground 464 - 📍 High Road - Tooting Bec Vs Clapton CFC

Tooting Bec Vs Clapton CFC  📍 High Road  Tickets: £6 A difficult ground to get to in all honesty but it worked out well in the end. I didn't expect to be offered a lift on route but took the opportunity, big thanks to the Tooting fan who saved me a fair walk!  The game itself was quite an end to end affair, with both sides creating a few half chances each. The opening goal of the game came just before the half time break. A corner was swung into the box from Tooting and then nodded back across the goal. The loose ball was then stabbed in by the No.7 to give the home side the lead.  The pattern of the game continued in the second half, with it becoming a lot more scrappier and stop start. With the game approaching the final whistle, Tooting added a second goal to seal the win. Another corner was swung into the box but this time cleared. It was then worked back out and crossed in towards the No.6. He managed to meet the ball with his head and saw it roll into the back...

13/12/25 - Ground 462 - 📍 Royal Holloway College Sports Centre - AFC Royal Holloway Vs Richmond & Kew FC

AFC Royal Holloway Vs Richmond & Kew FC 📍 Royal Holloway College Sports Centre  Tickets: Free Entry  Another eventful game in the Surrey Premier League which saw the away side dominate the match.  The first goal of the game went in just after thirty five minutes had been played. A corner ball found itself eventually working it's way out to Richmonds No.31 on the edge of the box. He then set himself and let off a brilliant strike into the top right hand corner of the net.  A couple of minutes before the break, the away side managed to double their lead. A lovely through ball from the No.7 split the defence and allowed the No.7 to run through clear on goal. He kept his composure and slotted the ball into the corner of the net.  In the second half, with half an hour left to play, Richmond added a third in style to kill off any hopes of a comeback from Holloway. After a one two between the No.11 and No.7, the ball was then played across the goal for the No.15 t...
