We- the Vags- lost to the Barbarians in the cruelest of fashions conceding  the decisive goal with the very last kick of a  match played in the sweltering heat at Komaba Sub ground. The result handed the initiative to our opponents who leapfrogged us up into second place. A draw would have kept them below us [...]

 Warning: No jokes or funny bits in this match report. We – the Vagabonds- beat the Musketeers 6-0 on Sunday at Fukuda Denshi on an extremely rainsoaked and waterlogged pitch. The result put us back up to second in the table with just four games remaining and also consigned the Musketeers to relegation- sweet revenge for [...]

BFC Tokyo swept aside YCAC to progress to the final of the TML cup where they will met the Swiss Kickers. Congratulations, chaps.  

When Push Comes to Shove   A strange chu-hi and ichibanshibori fuelled discussion on the way home – is there any difference between the headlining verbs (or nouns if you want)?

A 5-1 hammering of the Kanto Celts brought a welcome and much needed 3 points in BFC Tokyo’s battle to remain in the top division.

A 5-3 win over Nuts coupled with a defeat to our nearest rivals,The Vikings, ensured that the Vags were crowned champions of the  IFFL seven-a-side league.  Champions again!  Well done to all those involved.

Vags 4 – 1 SyuSyu Aoyama   To the slightly lacking in humour, this season will have started ever so serenely, like a blossoming peach tree in spring or Auntie Mable baking corned beef pie in the kitchen with a wringer full of washing already in the basket. No Vags reports, no tangents here and [...]

At the beginning of January one of our players, Garry Robertson, who many of you will know, was at home when he suddenly collapsed and was taken to hospital and operated on a haemorraghing brain tumour. He is 33, recently married and had no previous signs of trouble. He spent 2 months in a coma but is now [...]
