 Nayan Grant and his Gillingham Academy teammates secured a solid 2-0 victory on the road against Cheltenham Town in their latest Youth Alliance fixture. The win was a testament to the young Gills' defensive solidity and their ability to seize crucial opportunities.
Gillingham were already leading 1-0 when Grant was introduced from the bench in the 64th minute. The Bermudian made an instant impact, demonstrating his speed and skill just a minute later. A brilliant breakaway saw Grant sprint down the right wing, before delivering a precise cross to teammate Freddie Carruthers. The Cheltenham keeper spread himself well to make a good save, denying what would have been an instant assist for Grant.
The result is another positive one for the Gillingham Academy side, which has been in fine form early in the season. Grant's ability to come off the bench and immediately influence the game will be a huge boost for his confidence and is a promising sign for his development within the club's youth setup.
