After the disappointment of failing to gain promotion last season British Embassy FC were out to lay down a marker in their opening TML match of the season. They certainly did that with a 8-1 victory over Suns FC. A hat trick from Kentaro Takahashi and a brace from James Pounder helped the Embassy claim this weeks FJ TOTW title. Congratulations to everyone associated with the British Embassy Football Club.

As the final whistle blew on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Hodogaya, Zion FC became the first team to record back to back victories this season. They may be the only team to have played 2 matches but consecutive victories is not an easy thing to do in TML's middle division.
Two goals from Yusuke Toda and goals each from Takeishi Yoshikatsu and Yusuke...
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. Given the usual boiling Tokyo temperatures it seems like we have been lucky over the last few years. This...
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...
With only 2 matches played last weekend It was between Zion FC and Real Celts for having the honor of receiving the last FJ TOTW award of the season. As they scored 6 goals and one more than the Celts, Zion FC have won it. With 3 goals in the first half from Kohei Shiozaki, Yuki Kadowaki and Yusuke Kawano, there was no coming back for Dutch FC. Another 3 goals late in the 2nd half made it an enjoyable evenings work for the men in green. Well done Zion FC.
The final battle for some TML silverware saw Jetro face Division 3 specialists Shane FC. Both teams had the chance of promotion. Jetro needed to avoid defeat and Shane needed the 3 points. The game was played on a lovely Sunday morning at YC&AC. With both teams having a big squad, substitutions were frequent. Both teams huffed and puffed but were unable to break the deadlock. The nil nil draw was enough for Jetro to return to Division 2 for the first time in 2...
Last month saw Tomasz Motyka referee his last TML match. He will be staying in Japan but due to new work commitments he cannot find time to referee at the weekends. Tom has kindly written a summery of his time involved in the Tokyo Metropolis League. Thank you Tom.
