We at Malteenoes are very proud of your achievement and we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication and commitment to the sport; also to the coach, Idi Lewis, also a member of Malteenoes, for his contribution over the years nurturing and training Chelsea to achieve this feat. Keep soaring Chelsea.”
