July 3rd had the final fixtures of TML19 played. The captains meeting was held that very night. The meeting consisted of talks about the league, mainly focused on manager duties and rule changes to the league. The start date of the new season was also mentioned, which will be on the weekend of August 27/28.
It was King George's last game of the season and promotion was out of there hands (Real Celts/BEFC Lions have secured first and second). But as a team that is true to their description of a fun team, they decided to end their season with style... by using their regular goal keeper Brad Miwa as a field player!
Come and join the party to celebrate the Winners and losers of TML 19.
All TML players are welcome to attend this event. Bring your teammates, girlfriends (and boyfriends), friends and join the best celebration in Tokyo!
Going into this weekend, there was a lot riding on Clash FC's and Sala FC's games. If both of these teams lose their remaining games, YeBoiz (who have finished their season) will finish second place. Depending on how Sala and Clash do for their remaining games, they both had a chance to get promoted.
Kanto Celts have won against Clash FC in stunning fashion (9-3) but the Robert Walters TotW goes to Sala, who have earned their second place spot in division 2 after this weekends game.
As teams wrap up their season, it is looking very likely that everything will wrap up on the first week of July.
Real Celts have solidified their position as first place in third division, having never lost a single game. Suns are also guaranteed to finish first in division 2. However, there are a few more crucial matches that need to be played to figure out all the teams that will be getting promoted and demoted.
At last, the Cup final was help this weekend. Two teams with polarising standings in the table, Hibernian FC and Lions FC faced off at Shigaku.
Hibs beat Guapo, Kanto Celts, Panthers, British Embassy to reach the final. Lions beat King George, Eastern Capital, Suns, YC&AC to get to the final. Both teams had a luxurious line up, with so many footballers with long resumes. Just looking at the rosters made it apparent that the game was going to be a fierce one.
