Nayan Grant and his Gillingham FC Academy teammates started their Under-18 PDL Cup campaign in spectacular fashion, cruising to a dominant 6-1 victory over Millwall. The match, played at Beechings Cross, showcased the young Gills' attacking prowess and their control over the game.
Grant and his teammates were in full command by the halftime whistle, leading 5-1. The final goal of the match was created by a moment of brilliance from Grant. The Bermudian provided a perfectly weighted low cross from the right side, which found Freddie Carruthers on a good run. Carruthers adjusted his body slightly and tucked the chance away at the second attempt, sealing the comprehensive 6-1 win.
The result is a statement of intent from the Gillingham Academy side as they begin their PDL Cup journey. Grant's assist and the team's all-around dominant performance will give them great confidence heading into their next group-stage match.
