C F Y T I N U M M O C N O T CLAP

Based in Forest Gate in Newham, East London, Clapton Community FC was founded in 2018 with a fan-owned, democratic model. All of the club’s 1500+ members can vote on important issues and get involved in running the club by joining committees - such as Community and Outreach, Comms, or Grounds.

Clapton Community FC plays at the Old Spotted Dog Ground, London’s oldest senior football ground. In Autumn 2019 they took on the lease and later bought the freehold. After years of work by passionate and determined volunteers, the once dilapidated ground has been repaired and refurbished. The club’s men’s and women’s first teams are now permanently based there.

The women’s first team play in the sixth tier, the London & South East Regional Women’s League Division 1 North. The club also has men’s and women’s development and reserve teams, beginners, 5s, inclusive youth teams, open training sessions for women and young people, and even a cricket team.

The men’s first team won promotion to the Middlesex Counties Football League Premier from Division One (Central & East) in 2018/19, their first season. Attendances were unprecedented, averaging over 400 and peaking when 1,266 fans watched the 3-0 win over FC Roast to clinch the title. In that season the team also won the club’s first-ever cup trophy, the Jim Rogers Cup, Defeating Hilltop on penalties.

In 2021/22 the team finished third in the MCFL Premier League, and again won silverware in the Alec Smith Cup on penalties against Kensington Dragons after dragging the final back to 2-2 from 2-0 down.

That year the women's first team made history by being the first seventh-tier team to reach the third round of the FA Cup. They also became the first ever to beat a team four divisions higher. The run saw wins against higher division Haringey Borough, Biggleswade United, Bedford Town and Hounslow, finally ending away at Plymouth Argyle.

The men’s first team won promotion to the Thurlow Nunn Division One South in 2022/23, winning the title by eight points. Promotion was won in front of 902 fans against Kensington Dragons, and confirmed a month later when the ground passed its ground grading.

After a season in the Thurlow Nunn Division One South, losing in the play-off semi-final, they were moved laterally to the South Counties Eastern Football League. Picked for the move on a geographical basis, the team played one season in the SCEFL Div 1, finishing just outside the playoff spots, before being moved back to where it belongs in the Essex leagues.

In this season the team won the SCEFL Division One cup, beating SE Dons 3-1 in the final in front of 1242 fans, with a brace from Fred Taylor and an early headed goal from Joel Akuwudike.

Having a positive impact on the local community beyond football is key to the club’s activities. The club’s charity partner is the Magpie Project, supporting mums and young children in Newham. Fans collect for food banks and have donated thousands to good causes.

The club went viral in the UK and abroad due to the design of its purple, red, and yellow away kit - a homage to the International Brigades that fought for democracy in the Spanish Civil War. Over 20,000 shirts have been sold. In 2022/23 a new home kit was chosen by member poll from a selection of kits club members designed.

In 2021 Clapton Community FC won the Football Supporters Association Lockdown Heroes Award in recognition of the Hardship Fund, Clapton Against Coronavirus. Members paid in what they could afford, and those in need were able to take out small amounts to help cover key expenses. Since March 2020 over £15,000 has been donated and distributed. In 2023 the club won the Non-League Paper’s Community Club of the Year award.

N O T T U H B U L C L L A B T O O F Hutton Football Club is an FA Charter Standard Community Football Club. Being part of our community is important to the Club.

We expect everyone connected with the Club to be respectful, disciplined and responsible. Our young players will learn the game in a positive environment. Hutton FC is a Club, a team, a family not individuals.

HUTTON FC HISTORY The club was founded in 1928 and has been prominent in local football since that time with cup winner’s medals dating back to 1932. A key factor in the continued success of Hutton Football Club is the progression of young, local players. The senior teams played in the Mid Essex League until 1989 when progression was made into the Essex Intermediate, now the Essex Olympian League. The Club expanded rapidly after 2005 with the merger of Hutton FC and Hutton Medway FC (established in 1969). The Club now has 70 teams based in our local community.

The current club house has been at the Polo Fields for over 50 years, two previous buildings being destroyed by fire, and the second one having been struck by lightning. In 2010, the Clubhouse was vandalised and set on fire but has now been repaired and enhanced thanks to a large grant from Sport England.

Recent history has seen more rapid developments at the club. The Football Association awarded Hutton FC with Charter Standard Community status which is the highest accreditation a club can achieve. In 2005, when the award was granted, there were only nine clubs in the whole of Essex with this status. The Club is very proud to have been awarded Community Club of the year twice by Essex County FA. The club has been encouraging girls to come and play for a number of years, and in 2005 the first official Hutton girls’ team was formed and since then, our Ladies 1st and reserve teams have been added to help with progression.

The Club has been involved in a European Tournament played against professional clubs' youth teams, with outstanding facilities. The Clubs are; Saint Ingbert (Germany), Rumelange (Luxembourg) and Zandhoven (Belgium). The tournament celebrates its 50th year in 2025. Our senior men’s 1st team won the EOFL premier division 2022/23 season gaining promotion to the NLS, playing in the Thurlow Nunn League South.

THE BOOTROOM

TONY BOOT, ASSISTANT MANAGER Good afternoon, everyone!

What a perfect day for football – the sun is shining, the crowd is ready, and it’s time for Matchday 6!

Our boys have been outstanding so far, proudly holding a 100% record, and we’re determined to keep that momentum rolling for as long as we can.

Last time out, we had a slow start, but with the guidance of our captain Dean, we found our rhythm, got organised, and began to dominate the game. It was a test of patience, but we knew the breakthrough was coming. Sure enough, a well-earned free kick by Bish, took a fortunate deflection off the wall and set us on our way. From there, it was one-way traffic, and the second goal felt inevitable.

Another clean sheet was the icing on the cake – a huge credit to Stef, who has been simply outstanding between the posts.

We’ve got such a strong squad now that choosing just 16 players each week is no easy task. But what’s truly special is the way every single player – whether starting or on the sidelines – is pulling together. That unity is exactly what brings success.

So, let’s make some noise today, compete with their fans, get behind the lads, and push them on to six wins from six.

Up the Tons!
