SPONSORSHIP

THE secretary of Leyton Orient Advanced Soccer Schools (LOASS), Steve Jones, looked on with fatherly pride as his two children - Gemma (ten) and namesake Steve (14) - completed the annual 'City Dip' as part of the Lord Mayors Appeal 2008.

As children, they are only required to swim 1000m.

But Steve jnr, who captains the LOASS U14s football team, completed his 5km swim in 1hr 55min with Gemma successfully completing double the distance of 2km.

The youngsters have so far raised £750 and with a bit more help they hope to make it up to £1,000.
