Corinthian-Casuals & Kingstonian Football Clubs are delighted to confirm that they have extended their ground share agreement for season 2019 - 2020, fully ratified by the Isthmian League.

The arrangements are a replication of this current season and once again, both clubs are happy to continue the season ticket offer which enables supporters of either club to enjoy the other’s home matches for half price.​

This past season has seen Casuals and K’s work together on a number of initiatives, not least the successful fundraising drive which benefited two local charities, KCAH and Kingston Carers Network. It’s hoped that more initiatives will follow into a second season.

In recognition of our first season together at King George’s, we’ll be hosting a Casuals vs Kingstonian supporters match; Representatives from both sides will take to the field on Sunday 28th April for bragging rights. Admission will be free and a buffet (tbc) and bar will be open for all to enjoy. More details to follow, including how you can get involved, however in the meantime please save the date as it promises to be a good day.

Kit and boot donations from Corinthian-Casuals have finally found their way to The Gambia thanks to the amazing work of Vic Doggart and her charity Team Playground.
 
A dear friend of ours, Vic Doggart is the daughter of great Corinthian Hubert Doggart. She founded Team Playground in 2012 to build playgrounds in West Africa alongside local people with and for children. Team Playground provide safe, exciting and educational play with and for children of all ages through both playgrounds and activities including football.
 
From an initial playground in Brufut in Gambia in 2012, the Team have built 5 further playgrounds within Gambia and Senegal and now organise inter-village football tournaments for all girls and boys of all ages.  They are currently raising funds to acquire the land to build a youth club in Brufut and the aim is to introduce cricket to the children.
​
As Vic reports in her own words, from The Gambia after travelling for the past few months by road…

“We made it! I want to send all the thanks from myself, team playground and the Brufut dragons for the amazingly generous gift of kits. They look super fly in them and the games have been fantastic.

“We have played the local neighbouring village every Sunday. A young team and an older team as well. Our team is from the Brufut and the other team is Madiana which is across the bush. We are hoping to find a third.

“The journey was long and eventful. We have maintained three playgrounds and built a new one as well as distributing all the donations. Thank you again for the generous gifts - we are so grateful. Regards to CC.”

 As with all charities, they are looking for funding and currently their major concern is for equipment and more specifically football boots and trainers.
 
Should you wish to cast off all those old football boots that are no longer wanted or don’t fit any more, why not give them to a great cause? Likewise, any goal keeping gloves and sports socks.  Any sizes are welcome and ideally, they are not caked in mud!

Corinthian-Casuals’ King George’s Arena will have a dramatic makeover during the close season as we set to start work on transforming the clubhouse into London’s premier trendy cocktail bar.

The venue will be re-named as ‘Jackson’s’ – in honour of Corinthian’s founder N.L. ‘Pa’ Jackson and will look to become South London’s premier venue for chocolate and pink drinks - matching our unique club colours.

The whole clubhouse will be gutted and re-glitzed in resplendent chocolate and pink with the focus on drinks such as Strawberry Daiquiris, Pink Lemonade Vodka Martinis and a range of chocolate liqueur-based beverages. Gone will be the traditional lagers, beers and wines.

Bar Manager Martin Foley will become Head Cocktail Waiter and has already been fitted with a new waistcoat and bow tie. Foley is fully qualified for the role as chief flair-man as in his own words, ‘he’s probably mixed every form of alcohol known to man.’
​
The work is expected to be completed in time for the start of the new season.
