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! A mid afternoon kick off between two long time TML teams, it was good to see the many familiar faces back out onto the pitch! With both teams hosting a healthy amount of subs, the game was quite even. It was Albion Old Boys that edged out this fixture finishing the game 3-2. Congratulations to Albion Old...
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to BEFC Lions over their win over Shane FC.
The last time these two teams faced off each other in Kemigawa, Shane had a fantastic performance winning 4-1 with only 10 men. The two teams have since remained at the bottom of the table since the last time they clashed, with Shane's only win being against BEFC Lions. BEFC Lions on the other hand were sitting at 2 points, struggling to see their first win of the season. But...

The game was determined by penalties after a 4-4 draw where once again, both teams continued to score until...
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to Saitama Jets. They faced off Fussa FC where the result of this game would substantially change their placements in the table.
Both teams used frequent subsitutions in short intervals, trying to dictate the pace of the game to their liking. A few scuffles occured throughout the game through contact play, simulations in the box but it was Jets that scored first. Fussa equalized later making the game neck and neck but it...
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to Suns, after their hard-earned win over Hibs.

Having just faced another tough loss the week before in the ESR FJ Cup against YeBoiz, Suns were determined to change their sails. And what better place for a team to take a new direction than Atsugi Cancha, a new pitch for TML and with Noguchi Naoya, a class 2 licensed new ref for the...
