Showing Support For Local Sport

As proud sponsors of the Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith and Fulham teams in the London Youth games, Chelsea Football Club would like to offer our congratulations to both boroughs who have been making a real impact on local sports.

The K&C team has made a splash, achieving some outstanding results in the regatta where they finished a creditable seventh in the rowing and fifth in the kayak sprint.

The star performer was Olivia Hithersay who won first place in the kayak slalom. Hithersay was one of over 700 entrants from across 31 boroughs to compete on the Royal Victoria Dock

The boys' basketball team and girls' volleyball teams have also made it through to the finals which will be held on 3 and 4 July at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

Hammersmith and Fulham have also made the last eight in the badminton and the final of the girls' hockey.

The Youth Games has been running for 33 years and some former competitors have gone to greater glory including Olympic 400m Champion Christina Ohuruogu, Olympic Gold Medallist Bradley Wiggins and our very own Ashley Cole.

We wish all the competitors the very best of luck.
