Vagabonds defensive solidity holds while scoring issues continue in draw to Dutch FC.

BFC Vagabonds 0 Dutch FC 0 Komoba Sub Ground, Saturday 24th October 2015

A week off from the pitch didn’t do much to change the fortunes of the Vagabonds at either end of the pitch as they continued to limit the opposition to a few clear shooting chances.

He made no mistake and hit a first time volley with the outside of his foot which curled into the top corner....

Muzzy’s Farewell that Never Was

BFC Vagabonds 6 King George FC 2 Shigaku, Saturday 26th September 2015

Saturday’s game was billed to be the swansong for one of the Vag’s longest serving players – James Musgrove a.k.a. Muzzy who was leaving Japan for the UK the next day.
