After being freshly relegated from Div 1, Suns FC have started there season stronger than ever!
Fortunately they were one of the few teams that had their game played last weekend while most other teams had their game rained off.
Picking up their second win last weekend, Suns are at the top of the table with 6 total goals and 0 conceded. That’s two wins, two clean sheets! With all goals scored by different individuals, Suns are going to be fighting the season as a collective team rather than relying on a few star individuals.
A great season opener for Guapo FC winning their first game!
Their match took place at Mizumoto Sports Center, one of the few tokyo venues. While most teams turned down the oppurtunity to play at that location, we were very fortunate to have Kilimanjaro and Guapo organize a squad.
Although both teams looked a little rusty, Guapo looked more organized as the game progressed.
Both of their goals came from crosses on the left side, with one of them being directly volleyed and the other scored off an unlucky clearance.

With a full day booked at Shigaku and no teams except Jetro, Albion Old Boys and Zion eager to play, the first and only match that could be fixed was Albion vs Jetro!
The finalists for the ESR FJ Cup and Plate have been determined.
Brunello and Jetro played in the semi final last week to qualify for the finals and the game seemed like a one way boshing from Brunello. Brunello carried a 3-0 lead until Jetro scored 2 rapid goals in the second half closing the gap to only 1 goal. However Brunello tightened up their defence in the last 10 minutes and packed in another goal to finish the game 4-2. The Plate finals will be Brunello vs Clash!
As some teams start preparing themselves for the upcoming Golden Week, the TML pushes on its games. A huge plate match occured between Clash and Sala where Clash come out triumphant in a 2-0 victory. Clash have qualified into the finals where they will be playing either Jetro or Brunello.
Another very pivotal match happened this weekend down at YCAC between Panthers and Eastern Capital.
