We are pleased to announce that former Hendon favourite Dermot Drummy will be bringing the Chelsea U21 side to Earlsmead for a pre-season friendly. The game has been arranged for Tuesday 6th August, kick off at 7.45pm.

Dermot joined the club at the beginning of the 1980-81 season, and was with the club for most of the decade, just having a spell away in the 1984-85 and 1985-86 seasons. He made 348 appearances, scoring 62 goals. We are delighted that he will be bringing the Chelsea youngsters to Earlsmead for what is likely to be our final friendly before the league season starts four days later.

Admission charges for this game will be announced much nearer the time.
