New Sponsor

After a long time with no sponsor, Avispa found one with the Everlife Group.
In my opinion, the sponsor looks shit with the big yellow stripe. It looks like "Hey, there is free space for a sponsor *SPLASH* ...Ok, it looks awful but we have a sponsor!!!"
That must be the way Avispa officials tought.








I really don't like it, but i'm happy we can earn a bit money we need so badly.

PS: Hail GEORGIA!

[J2-R8] Avispa 1-0 Ehime

Nothing special here.
The worked was done after 2 minutes with the 1:0 from Yutaka Takahashi.
Alex made his first game of the season after he was subbed in for Kurobe, who replaced injured Jumbo Okubo.
Now we are unbeaten in 5 games with 4 wins and 1 draw and back in buisness as far we can say in this early time of the season.
So we are are ready for the Avispa Helldays in May!

Avispa played 1:1 at the first Kyushu Derby 2009 against Roasso Kumamoto.
We had big luck, because Roasso had a few big chances and outshoted us with 10 to 15 shots, but Yoshida had another great day and kept his goal clean.
Hisashi Jogo scored a superb goal after he took a cross from Nakajima volley in the 34th minute.
In the 67th minute, Nagira "fouled" Roasso-forward Satoshi Nakayama and the referee showed to the point. No chance for Yoshida, 1:1.
Kiyokazu Kudo celebraited his comeback after a long injury. Kiyo was subbed in for Jogo in the 79th minute.

DF: Yamagata, Tanaka, Nagira, Nakajima
MF: Jogo, Wellington, Suzuki, Okamoto

So, we are well prepeart for the first Kyushu Derby in 2009 against Roasso Kumamoto at home next sunday. Takahashi should be very motivate at that game against his old club.
But we should be careful, because Roasso destroyed Consadole with 4:0 today, so they got a motivation-boost too.
