Its deja vu all over again for followers of the annual J Youth Cup. (This year known as the J Youth Sunstar Tonic Cup.) In a repeat of the clash hat saw the likes of Maya Yoshida, Toru Hasegawa, Oribe, Nikawa, Sho Hanai and Ryota Isomura bow out of the 2006 edition (when it was known as the Sahara Cup), the Grampus U-18s are set to meet their FC Tokyo counterparts at Nagai 2 on Sunday 20 December. Grampus emerged as narrow 1-0 victors against the Cerezo U-18s yesterday.
