What a weekend. This had to be the toughest choice for TOTW all season.
Honorable mentions go to: Pumas who made it 3 Charity 7s wins in a row. Fussa and Zion both won to keep their dreams of Division 1 football alive. Real Celts secured the Division 3 title with a fine 3-1 victory over the Jets....
The most successful team in TML history has done it again. Another trophy, they had to battle for it, but battle they did.
After an exciting Plate Final, Pumas and Tokyo Hibernian were determined to put on a show for the 30 plus spectators who had come to watch the FJ Cup Final.
With the season slowly drawing to a close the battle for top spot in Division 1 is hotting up. Current leaders Tokyo Hibernian would have been hoping for slip ups from either FC International or Panthers FC.
With FC International kicking off the Division 1 action they ventured into the new TML Venue Zozo Ground looking to keep up their good recent form....
With only 3 matches played on matchday 34 it was an easy choice to make. The Golden Week TOTW goes to Real Celts. The 5-2 victory over Oakwood Clash puts them 6 points clear at the top of Division 3.
Not often does a team score 5 and have 5 different scorers but this shows the attacking quality that Real Celts have within their squad. The goals came from the French duo of Gaboriau...
The rebrand in the summer was controversial. The Geckoes turned into SUNS FC. Geckoes had a rich history in the FJ Cup & Plate. A decade ago they won the Cup and 5 years ago they won the Plate. The Plate final will always be remembered for the 16/15 penalty shootout scoreline.
SUNS FC have carried on the tradition and have reached the Plate FInal. Goals...
A TML first, joint FJ TOTW winners. Division 2 has been under represented so far this season when it comes to this award so this will go someway to even it up.
Dutch FC reached their first FJ Plate Final by recording a 5-1 victory over Lions FC. Amazingly it was their first victory in normal time in the competition. 2 goals from Shoya Miyashita and goals from Numao, Sato & Komishi was enough to fire them to next months final.
When non-footy people ask how we keep going after soul-crushing, debilitating 7–0 defeats on bitter-cold January nights, the answer is days like these.
