The busiest day of the Footy Japan season came and went without incident. The 3rd Edition of hosting the 2 tournaments in one day was a great success. The youngest competitors were aged 5 and the eldest were in their 50's. They played for the love of the game but also helped raise money for Refugees International Japan .
The morning started with 57 BFA kids plus teams from 3 International...
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....
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.
After 4 straight loses, not many gave Kanto Celts a chance of taking anything from Saturday nights match verses table toppers Tokyo Hibernian. The match between the two earlier in the season produced a dull 0-0 and once again Kanto Celts held firm and did not concede. The difference in this match was that Celts took their chances. 3 in total. The pacey forward line of Satsohi Mitsuda and Jiro Yamashita scored a goal each and also a debut goal from Neil Shonard was enough...
