"The Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle achieved a great success representing the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea at the Volleyball London Youth Games 2019.
Mr Moran and Mr Dooham selected a group of our students to travel for a long day of competition of more than 20 teams per gender at the University of East London on Friday 8th of March.
The boys played very well during their pool phase to progress to the single elimination competition where we forfeit quarterfinal game because an injury. Cesar Molte, Thibault and the brothers Marius and Felix Tattan Brown got a very meritory 5th place, showing their great skills and determination.
Louise Corre, Clarisse Govi, Imann Donon and Katrina Gambino were our team in the girls tournament. They competed very well and achieved a silver medal after loosing a hard fought final match. The girls also showed fantastic skills and playing discipline and only a couple of mistakes in the last points kept them away from the gold medal.
This is the beggining to a very exciting journey to be ready for next year’s competition when we'll try to replicate and improve this year’s result with a new group of players inspired by those who came before them and the support of our coaches.
Allez Lycée!"
