Renofa out. Grulla needs "plus two" goals against Sanyo and no more than one point for Sapporo GP – next to impossible I guess. Sagamihara, Parceiro and Kamatamare to JFL. Please.

Final Week of JFL: Sagawa Shiga 2-2 Kanazawa Yokogawa 0-0 Tochigi Uva Sony Sendai 3-2 Matsumoto Tottori 3-0 Ryukyu Honda 1-0 RKU Biwako 4-3 Machida Sagawa Print 2-1 Takasaki Akita 1-1 Honda Lock Nagasaki 0-1 JEF Chiba B Takasaki thus occupy 17th place and must battle in pro/rel series against 3rd place in Regional Promotion Series. Hopefully it is either Yokohama SCC or Sanyo Sumoto and then Takasaki keeps them OUT!!!
V-Varen, I hate you. Also, any idea on what happens to RKU after relegation? Will they play in Kanto league, or will be dissolved in order to return to college football system?
The Play-offs from the relevant three Prefectural Leagues into Division 2 (South) of the Tohoku League were completed on Sunday, details as follows: PARTICIPANTS Fukushima Kureha SC Miyagi Minami Sendai FC Yamagata FC Parafrente Yonezawa RESULTS 14 Nov FC Parafrente Yonezawa 4-0 Kureha SC 21 Nov Kureha SC 0-1 Minami Sendai FC 28 Nov Minami Sendai FC 2-4 FC Parafrente Yonezawa STANDINGS 1. FC Parafrente Yonezawa 6 (+6) ---------------- 2. Minami Sendai FC 3 (-1) 3. Kureha SC 0 (-5) FC Parafrente Yonezawa are promoted.
Finals of the regional league playoff start today... and JFA is streaming them live here: http://www.jfa.or.jp/jfatv/live/index.html
Play-off details from Friday: YSCC 1-2 Sanyo Electric Sumoto Kamatamare Sanuki 0-0 AC Nagano Parceiro (PK 7-6) 1. Sanyo Sumoto 3 (+1) 2. Kamatamare 2 (-) 3. Parceiro 1 (-) 4. YSCC 0 (-1)
I assume, top two get automatic promotion, while the third-placed club plays a playoff. Is that correct?
That is the structure. Based on the first day I'll predict Nagano and Sanuki with Sumoto as #3. Something tells me Takasaki can beat Sumoto.
Saturday's scores: YSCC 2-3 Kamatamare Sanyo Sumoto 0-4 Parceiro 1. Kamatamare 5 (+1) 2. Parceiro 4 (+4) 3. Sanyo Sumoto 3 (-3) 4. YSCC 0 (-2)
One more win (or draw with penalty win) for each, they go up and Sanyo Sumoto have to battle Takasaki.
On Sunday, the final round of play-off matches: Sanyo Sumoto 0-1 Kamatamare YSCC 0-0 Parceiro (PK 3-1) 1. Kamatamare 8 (+2) 2. Parceiro 5 (+4) ---------------- 3. Sanyo Sumoto 3 (-4) - - - - - - - - 4. YSCC 2 (-2) Kamatamare Sanuki and AC Nagano Parceiro are promoted to the JFL. Sanyo Electric Sumoto will play off against Arte Takasaki.
Any news about the association membership applications? Kamatamare and Blaublitz were going to apply after the season and Zweigen's one is still laying somewhere in J. League office.
I just remembered, with winning this National Regional League Playoffs then we could say that Kamatamare Sanuki just got their treble? Chugoku League, Shakaijin Tournament, and this National Regional Playoffs. Although its a minor treble, but treble still something that is not easily to achieve.
Kamatamare Sanuki completed not a treble but a quadruple this year, as they also won the Western Japan Shakaijin tournament in February. This is a competition for the teams that finish first and second in the preceding year's Kyushu, Shikoku, Chugoku and Kansai leagues. Kamatamare beat Tokushima Vortis on penalties in the final.
It was the Tokai League Play-offs over the weekend, details as follows: PARTICIPANTS Aichi FC Goal Nagoya Club Gifu Nagara Club NK Kani Mie Honda Suzuka FC FC Ueno Shizuoka SBR VOLARE FC RESULTS First Round 11 Dec FC Goal 4-1 NK Kani Honda Suzuka 1-2 VOLARE FC SBR 0-1 Nagoya Club Nagara Club 2-1 FC Ueno Finals 12 Dec FC Goal 2-3 VOLARE FC Nagara Club 2-1 Nagoya Club OUTCOME Nagara Club and VOLARE FC are promoted to the Tokai League Division 2 as replacements for Mindhouse Yokkaichi-shi and KMEW Iga FC, both relegated to the Mie Prefectural League.
