The final part of our Cup Final countdown concentrates on a forward who without his goals, his teams may not have reached this far. Takuma ueyama scored an impressive 5 goals v Swiss Kickers in the Plate Semi Final. He will be looking to do the same v Sala FC this Saturday evening.
I went to watch the Plate Semi Final between Sala FC and Imperio FA! One of the first things I saw was a Sala player struggling to find one of his green shinpads seconds before kick off. Luckily it was found. The shin pad belonged to Shu Nakatani. A name I often saw on the referees reports for the goals he scored. He didn't disapoint by scoring a hat trick on the night. Let's get to know Shu a little more before he plays in his first FJ Plate Final this weekend.
After a break for Golden Week, the TML returned with 3 big Division 1 matches. BEFC and Zion were battling it out to stay in the division. FC International were looking at keeping hold of 2nd position. The other match saw Tokyo Hibernian looking to secure their 9th TML title.
They were up against Swiss Kickers who were looking at stopping their old enemies in securing another title.
Next weekend will see British Embassy in their first FJ Cup Final since the TML started 15 years ago. The Club's recent success is mainly due to this man. Let's get to know the Player/Manager a little bit more.
If you have played against Pumas in recent years then you would have probably played against this young man. He loves Football but he may love the antics that happen after a match more! Let's get to know the TML's Antonio Casano a little more!
Sunday evening saw the top 2 teams in Division 2 battle it out. Dutch FC had only dropped 2 points all season and that was in their opening match. They were up against a Shane FC team chasing their first ever promotion.
The game was played at a high intensity which is something that can't always be said in Division 3. Shane FC's played a in-your-face but fair game. This disrupted the usual slick passing that Dutch have shown all season.
Referee Nick had the privilege of refereeing the 2 standout teams for this weeks award. The first nomination goes to Real Celts. Having recently purchased a new kit it was only fitting that someone forgot the kit bag. Some quick thinking from the guys, and Real Celts were donning some lovely white sports shirts which were purchased from the near by sports shop.
