The most successful team in TML history has done it again. Another trophy, they had to battle for it, but battle they did.
After an exciting Plate Final, Pumas and Tokyo Hibernian were determined to put on a show for the 30 plus spectators who had come to watch the FJ Cup Final.
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 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.
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.
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.
When non-footy people ask how we keep going after soul-crushing, debilitating 7–0 defeats on bitter-cold January nights, the answer is days like these.
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.
