Chelsea are champions of the Under-18 Premier League South for a fourth year in a row after defeating West Ham United 5-1 at Little Heath on Saturday morning. The Blues also surpassed last season’s total of 52 points – with two games to spare – with a resounding win that owed much to a devastating first half in which the majority of the damage was done. Charlie Brown scored a…
Development Squad: Chelsea 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
A brace of free kicks from Keanan Bennetts consigned Chelsea’s Development Squad to defeat in their final home fixture of the season against Tottenham Hotspur on Friday night.

Four more were added to the total this week, lifting us to 84, and they came from far and wide….

Chelsea moved within one point of a fourth consecutive Under-18 Premier League South title on Saturday morning as they avenged their sole defeat this season in beating Southampton 4-0 at Cobham.
