Leading 2-1 at the time they managed to score the 3rd with a classic counter attack move. Congratulations to Sala FC.

With 10 minutes to go Musketeers were 3-2 down and were facing missing out on their first FJ Plate Final. By the time the final whistle was blown they had scored 2 more goals and also managed to miss a penalty. The two goals had secured their final spot and an impressive 4-3 victory over the ever improving Real Celts. Congratulations to Musketeers for winning the TOTW award and also for reaching the Plate Final.
Barbarians FC defeated table toppers Swiss Kickers 4-3. The corresponding fixture last year saw Swiss Kickers destroy Barbarians and secure the Division 1 title. Goals from Captain Shouchi Arai, Kaito Kato, Yuta Mochizuki & Yuichiro Misumi secured the 3 points. The victory sees Barbarians now having an outside chance to secure the TML Division 1 title. Congratulations to Barbarians FC.
King Geoge FC recorded only their second victory of the season verses 4th placed Zion FC. They played the last 30 minutes with only 10 players due to the their forward going off injured. Well done King KGFC.
Komaba Sub Ground for many players has always been in a great location but the old turf was warn down and would cut your legs to shreds. At the beginning of March Komoba opened again after a months closure with brand new 4G Artificial Grass.
On Saturday 12th March the new pitch hosted it's first TML action. Sadly the pitch was so nice that both teams wanted to keep the ball and failed to score a goal.
As it currently stands another 2 matches will be played...
With a heavy heart it’s almost time to say say “Goodbye” and send our best wishes to League Sponsors Wahl & Case, who’s sponsorship comes to an end this month. It’s hard to believe that Wahl & Case have been sponsoring the league for the last 4 and half seasons, within that time they have expanded from a small start up recruitment company to a company further on the path of pursuing their world-class dreams.
