Fair enough- does seem to be a mixed bag of clubs that put teams into the tournament, but also includes teams from:
Bayern Munich
Man Utd
Benfica
Hibs
Hearts
Watford
River Plate
FC Brussels
Sheffield Utd
Chelsea
and has previously included teams with Beckham and others before going on to better things (LA Galaxy, for instance
Seems to me to be worht getting players exposed to htis typoe of competition, again with the hope taht someone will stand up and be noticed.

Milk Cup- Otago Youth Development Squad
The Otago Youth Development Squad have lost their first match in
the Northern Island Milk Cup tournament, going down 0-2 to
Fermanagh. There is a match report on the Soccerotago website
http://www.soccerotago.co.nz/MilkCup08/1fermanagh.htm
The next game is against Bayern Munich, and is played tomorrow.
The Soccerotago website also has reports from previous Otago matches at the tournament over recent years, including matches that involved Jacob Spoonley and Jeremy Brockie.
I see Central Utd under 15 squad are playing in the Man Utd Cup (and look to have done well in pre tournament games). Good to see coverage of that on the NZ Football website, but a bit puzzling as to why no mention of the Milk Cup squad?

was this before or after it was the Rumbelows Cup? Or the
Worthington Cup?

Good luck to the boys
This has been a long tradition of Otago football, with some pretty
good results as well. They actually played Man United's kids
as well last year I think. Keep an eye on the BBC website as
well, it has updates from the tournament and sometimes video of the
games.

Otago went down 2-1 to Bayern Munich,
which seems like a pretty good result. Report and match pics
can be found here.
No joy for the most recent games, going down 3-0 in both- to County
Tyrone and County Londonderry. Sounds like the Londonderry game was
pretty good, with the Otago boys a bit unlucky not to get some
thing from it. They are play River Plate overnight in their final
match.
