Last month saw Tomasz Motyka referee his last TML match. He will be staying in Japan but due to new work commitments he cannot find time to referee at the weekends. Tom has kindly written a summery of his time involved in the Tokyo Metropolis League. Thank you Tom.
By the start of November the footballing world was all talking about Chelsea and their fight against relegation. Star players not performing, revolts against the management and the regime, the season was going to be a long one. Tokyo Hibernian were in a similar situation with 4 points after 5 matches but then they managed to beat table toppers Swiss Kickers 6-1.
A one nil victory for the Pumas was enough to secure the Division 2 title and back to back promotions. To top of a good few days for Pumas they have won the latest FJ TOTW award. Congratulations Pumas. Special mention must go to Musketeers who secured the Division 3 title.
With the first silverware up for grabs it was a tough choice for the FJ TOTW. We have opted for Swiss Kickers. After going a goal down after 12 seconds, it took them a while to get hold of the match. Goals from Shimon Kato and Captain Yusuke Tanaka was enough for Swiss to claim the famous FJ trophy.
Kanto Celts FC have come the 6th winner of the FJ TOTW award. With the pressure on table toppers Swiss to increase their lead at the top, goals from Satoshi Mitsuda and Celts newboy Shotaro Fujimatsu was enough to overcome a strong looking Swiss team. This fixture will be repeated this weekend in the FJ Cup Final. Could Celts become the first back to back winners of this award?
With only two matches played over the Golden Week weekend, Real Celts have won the 5th edition of the FJ Team of the week.
A hat trick from Shousuke Yamagishi and 2 goals from one of Division 3's leading marksman Michael Dragsbaek helped Real to defeat Guts SC 9 goals to 1.
The battle for Promotion in Division 2 looks like it will go to the final weekends of the season. Sala FC stretched their unbeaten league run to 6 matches. Goals from Josh Bateson, Takahiro Kirihara and Shunsuke Nakatani helped defeat table toppers Pumas FC 3 -1. Sala were reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes to play. Leading 2-1 at the time they managed to score the 3rd with a classic counter attack move. Congratulations to Sala FC.
