The first day of the Kanto International Masters Sevens Soccer kicked off at the recently renovated YC&AC. The opening day hosted a very international crowd, with 90% of the participants being non Japanese players. A truly international league fitting of it's name!
With this being a league and no longer a one day tournament. Teams were definitely more competitive. YC&AC’s new signing, Robin Abe Snaith, scored a beautiful opening goal from outside the box. But this would be their only goal that day, although they did create chances, they ended up losing both of their games. Union Pacifico also lost both of their games but entertained the spectators immensely by stirring up a riot during their game. The referees did well by staying strong and remained unmoved by any of Unions claims! FJ Masters and Celts lost one and won one, with both of their games being very close. Fine Vintage and BFC won both of their games, preforming very well for their first date.
Currently Fine Vinatge are topping the ranks with their massive goal difference but it is still the first day of a long season. Teams will change and adapt as the months go by. It’s still anybody’s league to win it!
The next match day will be on October 5th at BST Nagasawa Sports Ground (16:50 kick off)
TML22 has finally kicked off with most teams playing their first game. An exciting see-saw game between Kilimanjaro and Jetro down at the freshly renovated YC&AC pitch had Kilimanjaro come out victorious. Brunello's first game in Division 1 was a rough one. A very physical game between YeBoiz where YeBoiz pounded them 3-0. But of all the games, the most lopsided result was between BEFC and Clash. A 6-0 win for BEFC, a statement that they are ready to try and win the league this season! New team that joined this season, Teranga FC, had all the qualities of an African team. Strong, physical, and arriving late to their games! Their debut game was a 5-0 win, which isn't surprising considering their roster had quite a few players that have played in division 1 before and a player that has played pro before!

Despite having a late start to the season (started end of September), the season wrapped up the earliest it has in the past decade (June 15th). It was a compact season, with the cooperation of teams getting their games played (instead of forfeiting/rescheduling). The new season will begin on the weekend of August 31/September 1st!
We've presented the Season 21 awards to the winners on July 6th listed below:

It's been a rough season for Zion this year in Division 1.
Their relegation was already determined a few months ago. They've let in the second-most goals and have only managed to scrape 9 points this season. In fact, they have more wins in the ESR FJ Cup than in their regular season this year! But alas, such is the cup. Every team has a chance of winning it.
The two finalists for the ESR FJ Cup this season were Eastern Capital FC and Zion FC. For ECFC,...
Despite having a late start to the season (started end of September), the season is looking to wrap up on June 15th.
Looking at all the past seasons recorded from TML8, this is the earliest the games have finished. Fortunantely this means matches will be avoiding the most dreaded hot summer days.
We will have an annual end of season party as always down at Hobgoblin where the participation of it will be mandatory for the captain/or designated proxy. Teams...
With a few of their players injured, Shane had barely enough for their game against Jetro. Starting with 11 with a player joining later, it was looking like Jetro had the upper hand with their 14 players before the game started. The game did seem to start that way, with Jetro having some great passwork but no strong finish. However, it all changed after 20 minutes, with a goal from their leading goal scorer Kodai Takano. After this goal, Shane gained immense momentum and...
The Masters session has seem a healthy amount of teams participating in them. The last two sessions have been a tournament with 5 teams, of which both of them have been won by the lads of Fine Vintage. Composed of members mostly from King George and Shane FC, the boys in blue have pulled in the wins through sheer team effort. No reliance on any single player, each member plays their role and contributes. Even without an actual goal keeper in attendance, they still manage...
