attended their fourth Gothia Cup, sending an U16 age group squad of
18 players with five staff. Staying in a very pleasant hotel in the
city, they enjoyed Gothenburg playing in the World's biggest Youth Football
tournament on good grassy pitches.
The opening ceremony held in the prestigious Ullevi stadium made every one aware how important this tournament was and after three league games in three days the Carthusians found themselves second in their league, thus qualifying for the knock out phase. The hardest fixture was against a 1st division outfit from Allborg, Denmark (2-4 defeat) and their easiest was against Torslanda (8-0 win) who come from the Volvo City in west Gothenburg. The other league match was drawn 1-1 against a Stockholm side called Skogstrops GoIF. |

wiser for their cultural exchange. |
