CHELSEA pair Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill attended a non-league clash on Saturday.

The pair enjoyed a rare Saturday off as the Blues are not in action until Monday when they take on Everton.

But Palmer and Colwill were still keen to get their football fix.

So they took a trip to Southern League Premier South side Walton & Hersham to watch their clash against Sholing FC.

And it was the visitors who the England pair came to see, as Colwill's uncles Dan and Byron Mason play for Sholing.

The defender posed with his relatives for a photo and he was all smiles on the sidelines, as was Palmer.

But unfortunately for Colwill his uncles were on the losing side as Walton & Hersham ran out 1-0 winners.

Colwill previously attended a Sholing FC match as a mascot aged 14.

It was the FA Vase Cup final and featured three more of his uncles, Marvin McLean as well as Bryan and Barry Mason, brothers of Dan and Byron.

Colwill has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge this season after spending the last few years on loan at Brighton and Huddersfield.

His form saw him win his first England cap but injuries have hampered his progress since the beginning of the year.

Palmer has also been rewarded for his good form with a place in the England squad and is likely to go to the Euros this summer.
