Some people fear the Summer 7s. A 9:30 kick off, an expected finish for finalists around 4pm all in 30 plus degrees, with constant sun exposure and playing the game they love on a hot artificial pitch. It’s now been 4 years since the above weather conditions have shone out from behind the clouds.
TML 14 kicked off with 7 league matches and a 16 team Summer 7s tournament so competition to claim the first FJ TOTW was fierce. Notable preformances from Zion FC in Division 2 beating El Diego 4-1 and also TML newboys FC Sagarmartha winning thier first match. At the 7s, British Embassy FC played well as did Cup Runners up Panthers FC but Swiss Kickers can claim a double. Summer 7s Cup Winners and also the first FJ TOTW winners. Unbeaten throughout the day and only conceaded 4 goals. Congratulations Swiss.
Football is a special sport in so many different ways. It keeps you fit, it creates friendships and the occasional rivilary. It’s played by people of all ages and also people from all walks of life. Saturday was the culmination of all the above sentences.

I have spent the last three months absorbing life in Tokyo. I flew to Japan as part of a university exchange with the Tokyo Institute of Technology and have completed my Master of Engineering thesis. Having previously refereed in Scotland, I was lucky to enough to be given the opportunity to join the Tokyo Metropolis League (TML).
