Dorkinian under-7s have received their first kit, donated to them by Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.
The team were presented with their kits at St Martins School, after former Chelsea defender Guehi continued his support to the club.
Dorkinian youth chairman Vince Baldwin said: “Marc has given up his time for the last four seasons to come down to St Martins School, where we base our U6 to U10 sides to present our youth awards to the children and has made a massive positive impact on them.
"At the awards last summer, he made a very generous donation to the club which we have put towards getting our growing U7 squad their first kit, and also making improvements to our Westhumble site.
Many thanks to Marc Guehi for giving up his time this morning and watching both our U12 sides at Westhumble - they loved it and raised their games, winning both matches. pic.twitter.com/yjpUtoooUL

“We are very grateful to Marc and his family for their support and we wish him well for the rest of the season.”
