On the 23rd January 2016 in Shin-Koiwa members of BEFC convened to discuss club issues outlined in the General Meeting Agenda. Here's a summary of the decisions made and in action until the end of the season - viewable to logged in members.
In a fine all round team display all players put in a great performance. However there can only be one MOM. While scoring the goals doesn't a Man of the Match make, it does when we consider where they are scored from. Playing deep in holding midfield, breaking down attacks and bombing forward into...
James 'Caner' Cane has unlaced his boots and headed out for a life with the Kiwi's (and Hobbits) in New Zealand. A player of smooth silky weaves and smart passing, Caner was an integral part of the TML team and club as well as winning the MIFA Futsal Trophy as Captain Caner in back to back...
After a wobbly end to 2015 BEFC got back on track with a crushing win over Saitama Jets in the FJC Plate. It took until near the second half for the team to remember who each other were but once it clicked back together BEFC backed up their ambition with some classy football and overpowering play...
The Footy Japan Competitions New Year 7s tournament was a bit of a disappointing affair for BEFC, who despite some really strong play crashed out losing all games by a 1 single goal. This was only made slightly better by learning that the opposition teams in their group - won the entire tournament...
Branislav 'Branco' Pochaba receives the legendary BEFC Polo shirt as he prepares to hang up his speedy BEFC boots and leave Japan. Yes, that's right, Bran is leaving us by the end of January, and the match against Kodansha was possibly his last 11s game for BEFC. A regular lock-in at full back for...
On a fine sunny day BEFC travelled out to the Kenko Sports Ground in Omiya to play Kodansha in the first ever Embassy Challenge Cup. The Embassy Challenge Cup was established in 2015 as an annual competitive match for BEFC to challenge a non-TML league side as well as create relationships with...
On December 6th, BEFC joined players from NSK and Keidanren to take part in a new Football Remembers event, hosted by NSK at their ground in Saginuma. Last year BEFC and NSK hosted a Football Remembers event as part of the British Council and Premier League initiative to commemorate 100 years since...
In an entertaining match on real grass against Kodansha it was an open and exiciting game. With his new Truesocks increasing his reaction time even more, Go 'The Spider' Oomichi span his web of defence across the middle of the pitch. In the later stages Go made a real threat impact running with the...
A brilliant first half team performance was contrasted against a horrible second half collapse. However one player who remained on form and a constant threat was Kentaro Takahashi. After a number of BEFC attacks going close but not quite enough, Ken decided to open the scoring with his own bit of...
Congratulations to captain Ben Palmer, winning the BEFC Player of the Year Award 2015. Since taking over as Captain last season, he must be doing something right! Known for his meticulous attention to tactics and highly proficient in the lesser recognised technique of 'organisation', BEFC are yet...
Congratulations to Ken, winning the BEFC Golden Boot as top scorer for 2015 with 9 goals and notably the now legendary goal from the half way line versus Imperio FC. Ken arrived at the start of January opening his scoring with a goal from a direct corner, inswinging into the back corner. He then...
Congratulations to vice captain and treasurer Jorge Marenco for winning the BEFC Futsal Player of the Year. As tenacious on the futsal court as he is on the 11s pitch Jorge is known for fielding his terrifying Spanish Armada futsal team in the BEFC friendly cup and previous MIFA competitions, as...
Each match and competition BEFC decide a Man of the Match. This year we added the Adecco Man of the Match 2015 award to our annual Player Awards This award was eligible to any player who had been awarded Man of the Match or MVP during 2015, and was up to the officiate to decide who deserved to be...
