FC GRONINGEN
TEAM NOTES
Coach: Ron Jans (since October 2002) Dutch League
Record: 11-16-7
Rank: 12th, 40 points
Last Result: 2-1 loss at AFC Ajax, May 22
Streak: Lost 2 The Viking, Erik Nevland, opened the scoring in Amsterdam in the final match last weekend with his 16th goal of the season in his 20th game. It wasn't enough for the northerners, however, as Ajax struck twice after the break to keep the last three points of the season in Amsterdam. The average home attendance went down 2 percent to 11,968. Nevland was the club's top scorer. FC Groningen signed Yuri Cornelisse from NAC Breda for the next three years. Arnold Kruiswijk signed a one-year extension to his contract until 2008. The 20-year-old defender made his debut when he was 17, and played 72 league games so far. FC Groningen is interested in Morten Berre of Valerenga Fotball in Norway. He should form an solid offensive duo with Nevland.
