Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal—Report
Young Chelsea Appeal 2022—Ukrainian Staff
We are delighted to announce that we have raised the grand total of £5,521.21 for the Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal. The club organised a special fundraising duplicate on 6 March and our Ukrainian staff rallied round baking cakes and donating Ukrainian goods for sale. The event attracted a great mix of club members and others, all of whom gave very generously and the funds rolled in. We are very grateful to all, and every penny will go to the Ukrainian people.

Young Chelsea Knockout 2022
YCKO 2022
Fourteen teams have entered this year’s competition. After seeding the teams by NGS, the draw (updated regularly with match results) has been made. The competition is under way with all Round Four matches completed. The play‑by date for the Quarter‑final was 11 September. However, with many teams unable to fix matches during the summer, some earlier matches ran late. The play‑by dates will not be enforced over the summer and autumn, but teams should be pro‑active in preparing dates for subsequent rounds, should they get through.
The director, Gitte Hecht‑Johansen, made a draw on Friday 9 September at the end of the evening duplicate to decide the Quarter‑final matches (from possibilities that prevent teams which have already met from facing each other again):
|
|
winner: Binkie (undefeated) |
|
|
winner: Orca |
|
|
winner: Leslie |
As the undefeated team, Binkie has qualified for the final. The remaining two teams have played the only semifinal.
The final will be on Monday 16 January 2023 between Binkie and Orca. [See more…]
