BFC Off to Flyer in Mag 7's
YC&AC, Sunday 21st June.
BFC started the New Magnificent 7's Summer League in Grand style, punishing Panthers and Zion with resounding 6-0 & 7-1 defeats respectively, while their 'partners' Shane FC scraped a 3-2 victory over Zion but lost 2-0 to Panthers. This was still a great acheivement for the Shane Players who'd run a half marathon for charity that very same morning - kudos to the Shane boys.

For the second year in a row, the Footy Japan select team bowed out in the semi-finals of the Tesco Lotus Bangkok 7's, this year at the hands of the All Star team.
An Ian Rush goal was all that separated the 2 teams after a tight match in which Lee Sharpe hit the upright and a shot from FJ's USAF pilot 'Juice', rolled agonizingly past the post. More...

Whaam Bam Thank You Maam!
Hachioji Park, Sunday 3rd May.
Whaam bam thank you maam sums up a calamitous almost frightfully hard fought plate semi affair between the div 1 underachievers Sala and their opposition div 2 landsliders FC Int. The sultry conditions served up a plate full of steamy action culminating in a 1 – 1 deadlock at the end of normal time, only for Sala to clinch the deal on penalties 4 – 2. More...

Rain Will Not Stop Play (this year either)!
Footy Japan Charity 7's Football Tournament
Friday, March 20th 2009.
The new 3rd generation astroturf pitch at YC&AC was the saviour of this years Charity tournament after torrential rain hit as the captains were about to make the draw. Players ran for cover, schedules, league table & other paperwork got soaked, but once the rain was over, unlike last year the playing surface was immaculate.
17 teams battled it out over 8 hours but it was Division 1 strugglers, British Embassy FC and Footy Japan's own BFA coaches who walked off with the Silverware.
Remarkably, even in these times of economic recession we were still able to raise over ¥300,000 for Billy & Jeannie’s Children’s Foundation, thanks to all those who showed support. More...
