BEFC Lions had a rough season last year ending in last place. Getting demoted to Division 3, their season opener proved to be another tough loss.
But what is very impressive about BEFC Lions is that despite their struggling form (only seeing two wins last season), their players remain relatively unchanged. And this is truly the mark of a football club, their players are still commited to the team despite going through a hurricane of losses.
Brunello clinch out a close game last weekend against Sala FC.
Brunello FC is a team that is run by the Oketani brothers (3 of them). The team has a strong bonding with one of the most regular turn out of core members in the league.
Starting their first game with a loss from Suns (who are in promising position to win division 2), Brunello has not looked back since. A 2-0 win over Sagarmatha at Sagarmathas homeground, they continued their streak with...
After being freshly relegated from Div 1, Suns FC have started there season stronger than ever!
Fortunately they were one of the few teams that had their game played last weekend while most other teams had their game rained off.
Picking up their second win last weekend, Suns are at the top of the table with 6 total goals and 0 conceded. That’s two wins, two clean sheets! With all goals scored by different individuals, Suns are going to be fighting...
A great season opener for Guapo FC winning their first game!
Their match took place at Mizumoto Sports Center, one of the few tokyo venues. While most teams turned down the oppurtunity to play at that location, we were very fortunate to have Kilimanjaro and Guapo organize a squad.
Although both teams looked a little rusty, Guapo looked more organized as the game progressed.
Both of their goals came from crosses on the left side, with one of them...

With a full day booked at Shigaku and no teams except Jetro, Albion Old Boys and Zion eager to play, the first and only match that could be fixed was Albion vs Jetro! A mid afternoon kick off between two long time TML teams, it was good to see the many familiar faces back out onto the pitch! With both teams hosting a healthy amount of subs, the game was quite even. It was Albion Old Boys that edged out this fixture finishing the game 3-2. Congratulations to Albion Old...
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to BEFC Lions over their win over Shane FC.
The last time these two teams faced off each other in Kemigawa, Shane had a fantastic performance winning 4-1 with only 10 men. The two teams have since remained at the bottom of the table since the last time they clashed, with Shane's only win being against BEFC Lions. BEFC Lions on the other hand were sitting at 2 points, struggling to see their first win of the season. But...
