Grampus U-18s Go Top of Group 9

While AC Milan were being held to yet another draw, the Grampus U-18s romped to a 4-1 win over Stabaek to go top of the group, They now stand a great chance of qualifying for the next stage. Come on lads, let's show these Italians how to play. :-)

Official Squad Listing (Stick to the Italian for this one. Google makes a horrible mess of Nicky's name.)

Grampus Team

                         Ito
Tsubasa Kato (Nozaki), Okuyama, Nicky Havenaar, Watanabe
Hiei      Tomita (Mizuno)      Magara      Gai Kato 
               Aoyama    Nakane (Tsuzuku)

It seems defender Nick Havenaar is keen to follow his older brother Mike's example. :-) He bagged one of the goals, as did midfielder Hiei and striker Aoyama. (The other goals seems to have been an own goal.)

Will put up a 'translation' and link to the official Grampus report in due course.
