After 8 weeks of no TML football it was back with a bang. 22 goals scored in 4 matches. The stand out result saw El Diego score 6 past Lions FC. Lions dominated possession but El Diego were clinical with their finishing. Yoshiyaki Koyasu was up front and his pace caused the Lions back line all sorts of problems. He scored a hat trick, veteran forward Satoru Kawahito scored a brace and El Diego new boy Ren Okuno scored too. With Wayne Baxter now bossing the defence El Diego will be looking for more consistency this season.
Going into match-day 41 of a very long season, there was still one more issue to be resolved. Who would join Imperio in being relegated from Division 1?
Zion went into their fixture on Saturday knowing that 3 points would confirm their promotion to Division 1.
The opposition Dutch FC have been on fine form since the turn of the New Year. So it would be no easy game for Zion. When the pressure is on, teams can either thrive on it or get nervous and struggle to express themselves. Zion on their big day were able to pass the ball around well but the Dutch keeper was having the game of his life.
Footy Japan and Centre Circle NPO is pleased to announce that the total raised from our Football Charity Day was ¥365,148. All the money will go directly to Refugees International Japan.
With 3 TML weekends left before the season finishes, half the awards have already been decided. The biggest battle of them all is race to win the free pair of Adidas Football Boots. With the Golden Boot winners virtually decided in Divisions 1 & 2, the race for the winner in Division 3 is between 5 players.
