Chelsea’s final match of the 2007/08 Reserve season ended in an exciting 1-1 stalemate with late drama. Franco Di Santo appeared to have given Brendan Rodgers’ team all three points with ten minutes remaining but Aston Villa scored a deserved equaliser to leave them still in pole position to win the Reserve League South and […]

In November, Chelsea’s Reserve season hit the lowest point as a young side travelled to Villa Park and returned having suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat. On Monday night, the season closes with the return fixture, and a chance for revenge after the initial match was postponed due to a frozen pitch back in February.
Of course, […]

Chelsea finished their home campaign for 2007/08 with one of their worst performances of the season and were lucky to end up with a draw against a very good Leicester City team. A late moment of class from Gael Kakuta, who had come off the bench, was enough to haul The Blues back into a […]

Another Under 18 season comes to an end at Cobham this Saturday lunchtime. Whilst Chelsea still have one more away fixture to complete this season at Portsmouth in a week’s time, their final home game of a long and gruelling campaign brings about the visit of Leicester City and a second meeting this year between […]

In the end, it wasn’t to be. At the final hurdle of a dramatic and improbable FA Youth Cup run, Chelsea fell to a 3-1 defeat in front of nearly 20,000 fans at the City of Manchester Stadium as the hosts secured their first competition win in 21 years, and ensured Chelsea’s extends another year.
After […]

If, at the start of the season, it was suggested to you that Nana Ofori-Twumasi was the most likely Chelsea player to be lifting silverware come the end of the season, you’d probably have laughed it off. However, after the unfortunate 1-1 draw with Wigan and with a typical Champions League Semi Final with Liverpool […]

If Cardiff are one of the worst teams in the FA Premier Academy League this season (based on their league record) they certainly didn’t show it on Saturday morning at Cobham. It took two Jacob Mellis goals towards the end of the first half to earn Chelsea a point in the end, and despite having […]

YOUTH GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO SHINE AGAINST CARDIFF thumbnail

For many teams, the Under 18 season is coming to a close and with little to play for, new faces for next season are being tried. That doesn’t quite apply to Chelsea, with the next seven days being the biggest thus far in the football careers of the players involved. On Wednesday the boys take […]
