ANAGRAM RECORDS SEMI-FINAL - HUGE GAME FOR WARE SPORTS & CLAPTON CFC

There is likely to be larger than usual attendance for a Ware Sports home game this Saturday as they entertain Clapton CFC in the Anagram Records Trophy Semi-Final who will bring a good away following to Hertfordshire.

The game sees Step Seven Ware Sports (currently fifth in the Herts Senior County League Premier Division) take on Step Eight Clapton CFC (fourth in the Middlesex County League Division One Central & East). The visitors have won their last five games in a row with the home side winning four of their last six so it's all set up to be an entertaining game. Clapton have beaten two HSCFL Premier Division sides on the way to semi-finals including top of the table Letchworth Garden City Eagles. 

Entrance to the game, which is being held on the 3G pitch at the rear of the Wodson Park completed, is £3 which includes a match programme. My advice would be to arrive early if you are going to the game.
