Last Sunday's game was a crucial turning point for the BFC Vagabonds. Losing last week's game but still gaining the points because of an unregistered player, there was mixed emotions for this 3rd division team.
This win puts them third in the division. With a possible promotion to the 2nd division one placement away, the Vags are pumped up and ready to work through any obstacle, whether this is the opposition or the environment.
Shane FC and Jetro FC were both desperate for 3 points as they faced each other on Sunday night. A victory would put Jetro 2nd in the table, however a Shane victory would lift them off the bottom of the league and out the relegation zone. So all to play for.
Shane FC were on it from the first whistle.
Looking assured at the back, with centre-backs Aki and Conor marshalling a solid defensive performance. Add to this a combative and high energy centre-...
The last game of 2018 for both Kanto Celts defeat Lions FC 4-0 in the TML's top division.
4 weeks later and both teams were playing each other again in the FJ Cup. Lions new manager Omer had recruited some new players and they were very much the difference.
Two of the 4 mew recruits scored. Seiji Muto scored an impressive hat trick and Yokota scored a goal too. Lions regular Kenji Isoda scored a brace and Shiotsuki completed the scoring.
Rarely has a year brought so much uncertainty. Brexit, a change of TML leadership and who knows what the new era will be called or be like in Japan? So many questions, yet so few answers. We can only go on what we know, so what do we know so far?
We know that Tenshin Nasukawa is not as good at boxing as Floyd Mayweather and also that BFC Tokyo and King George have won some silverware.

Many of my Robert Walters TOTW write ups have had me talking about how open Division 1 is this season. This can also be said for Division 2 & 3.
The weekend saw the top 4 in Division 2 all win. 3 points separate them all. Suns FC narrowly missed out on promotion last season and are aiming to go the extra mile to make sure they claim a top 2 finish this season.
On Saturday they faced Fussa FC at YC&AC. Suns were on the front foot throughout the...
This week's Robert Walters team of the week goes to Nepal United after coming out on top of a slugfest. It is always difficult playing against the Albion Old Boys at the St. Marys Pitch as it is there home turf, accustomed to the shorter than usual pitch. Nepal United was seemingly in charge of the game with a 4-0 lead until the Albion Old Boys came back with 4 goals of their own. Nepal United finished second to last place in Season 15 but this years Nepal United are...
