The FJ TOTW award started towards the end of TML14. Every team has gone on and won it once if not more. The first ever winners were non other than King George FC. That maiden TOTW award was almost the last time KGFC won anything!
Since that award, KGFC have always turned up early for matches with a large squad. That was until Sunday afternoon for their match v Albion Old Boys. The squad mail sent out last Thursday showed a solid 14 man squad. 10 minutes before KO...
Football can be a cruel game is so many ways yet it also brings the best out of teams and players.
Saturday afternoon Hachioji Park hosted a bit of everything. First up saw Swiss Kickers play FC International in a 4-4 thriller. The second game was Real Celts v Dutch FC. Half time saw both keepers on top as it was 0-0.
Within the first 5 minutes of the restart the Dutch player Taku Hishida sustained a serious injury after a tackle. An ambulance was called...
Having won 9 Division 1 titles since TML's inception in 2002, Tokyo Hibernian are not use to losing. After their opening 3 matches they had only collected 1 point. Was the club in crisis?
Crises what crises? It was business as usual on Saturday evening as they faced Lions FC. Hibs scored 2 early goals. Lions FC battled to try and back in the game. Hibs held firm and the Lions ran out of energy and conceded 4 goals in the last 15 minutes. Debutante Yaysuya Kamijima...
What a weekend for Clash FC. 3 games, 3 victories, 14 goals scored and 3 conceded.
The weekend started with Clash defeating Celts Legends 6-0 in their opening FJ Masters 7s League match. Next up they knocked 5 past Morooka Yatagarasu. The 2 results puts them sitting on top of the league.
Sunday evening saw the Clash young guns kitted out in their lovely new...
Before we start let me say how great it is to have Robert Walters as a supporter of FJ Competitions TOTW for the remainder of the year.
The battle for TML's top prize is as open as it's ever been. Hibernian FC have dominated the famous Division 1 trophy for the last 3 seasons but after a slow start all teams are starting to dream. No more so than Kanto Celts. After 2 solid performances v Hibs and Panthers they came up against early division leaders BFC Tokyo....
Like Loris Karius had in the Champions League final we too have had some technical difficulties. The first round recorded Cup Draw has some how wiped it's self from Sid's computer and also the device it was recorded on. Sorry that you don't all get to watch me work my magic for 5 minutes but you can view prevoius draws using this LINK .
So here is a picture of the Draw. Pumas FC (Current holders) and BEFC (...
BEFC have been on a footballing roller coaster over the last 2 seasons. The highs of a near perfect season in TML14 which saw win Division 2 and gain promotion. Last season was a tough one which resulted in relegation.
Last Saturday saw them take on Fussa FC and beat them 4-1. Their first 3 points of the season and are worthy winners of this weeks FJTOTW.
As BEFC write up match reports on their site I am handing this over to them:
It's always interesting to see how promoted teams get on in a higher division. Currently of the 5 teams who gained promotion throughout the TML, one team, Dutch FC seemed to have adapted to life the quickest.
On the opening weekend of the season they beat Jetro 3-0 and they carried on their good form late on Sunday evening. This time they were up against Sala FC who scored in the first half. 10 minutes into the second half the game flow changed as Dutch scored 2...
