A talented daughter from Kingston topped her father’s childhood success by scooping gold in the London Youth Games.

Clara Woodbridge, 17, helped the Kingston girl’s squash team conquer Bromley 2-1 to take home the title, in the same games final which her father won silver in, 40-years-ago.

Clara's father, Andrew Woodbridge took part in the very first London Youth Games, in 1977, which was officially opened by the Queen as part the Sliver Jubilee celebrations.

Mr Woodbridge said: "Squash was a really major sport in 1977 and I remember as a 16 year-old how prestigious the London Youth Games felt being tied to the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.

“It was a wonderful event then as it was again this year and to see Clara win 40 years on was quite something.”

Winning the only gold medal for the borough at the Youth finals, the girl’s squash team helped Kingston to finish 14th out of the 33 London boroughs behind reining champions, Bromley.

“Winning the gold was a really happy moment,” Clara added.

The London Youth Games is the largest annual youth sports festival in Europe with more than 140,00 young people taking part over 10 months to culminate in the finals weekend at Crystal Palace.

Jon Hughes, Chief Executive, London Youth Games said: “The finals weekend was an amazing climax to the 2017 London Youth Games Year.

“It was great to see over 6,000 young people from every borough in London coming together to see just what they can achieve working together as part of a team.”
