BEFC Lions started this season’s Cup campaign against their favourite rival, King George FC. BEFC Lions had never lost against King George in the league, and went into this game with high expectations, although the squad was considerably depleted and the team introduced a lot of debutants. BEFC...
Quite frankly this was the weekend of heroics with a BEFC Club Hat Trick of win against a domino effect of adversity. BEFC looked to get back into promotion contention by sealing a win against the Real Celts, who had managed a lucky draw against BEFC in the first encounter. BEFC were feeling...
Following this season’s first victory for the BEFC Lions in the league, a very similar line-up faced off against Oakland Clash FC. Last season had seen the BEFC Lions knock Clash out of the Cup, and drawing one and losing one in the league. BEFC Lions started strong, taking the lead from a corner...
Getting the season back on track, BEFC took the lonely journey out to Fukuda Denshi with a reduced squad to play against GUTS SC who were currently top of the division. Both sides had met only once before in last season's cup, an extremely niggly affair but with BEFC coming out on top. Having had...
With a loss and two draws, BEFC Lions went into their fourth game of this season looking for their first win in the new campaign. Their opponents, Bruno FC, are a Japanese team in their first season. BEFC Lions remembered that it took time last year to gel as a team when they first joined the...
Getting the season back on track BEFC came away with a great performance but somewhat unsatisfying draw, Real Celts should be overjoyed to escape with a single point. BEFC dominated the entire game which Celts spent the most part of defending resolutely in their own half superbly penned in by the...
Lions went to play in the distant Redlands against Jets, going down early to a fast wondergoal, but catching up and moving ahead with great goals by Jeremy and Goran. The team was constantly pressing and winning most challenges against the physical Jets. Unfortunately, Lions were a bit too greedy...
Second game of the season for Lions was against old foes Albion Old Boys, a team with a good long tradition in the TML and always a good challenge. Following a frustrating start to the season, Lions were determined to make the most out of this game and get back on track to get points and play some...
BEFC's opening match of TML16 is one that most players would like to forget. Hence length of time it has taken to glean any kind of MVP nominations and report. Simply in a highly combustible match up, tempers were high, discord abound and brought to the boil by reportedly antagonistic refereeing,...
Reeling from the opening loss to SUNS FC the hope of a strong reaction didn't quite go to plan as that strong reaction was delivered in the form of another straight sending off, leaving BEFC to play most of the match with only 10 men. Bizzarely the last time these two side played also resulted in a...
Last saturday on the 29th of September BEFC once again arrived at one of the nicer pitches we play on. It was going to be an important match because BEFC has not started the season as they wanted and lost twice in the first 2 games. Coach Naoki Tanabe could not make it so Timothy Witvliet took over...
For the first game of BEFC Lions second season, they faced Nepal FC. This was BEFC’s first game in their debut season, where they drew 3-3 after a number of goalkeeping errors allowed a weak Nepal to equalize. In the second leg, a new-look Nepal team held BEFC Lions to another 3-3 draw, but both...
The final match of the season against champions Hibernian was a difficult task for BEFC, especially having no subs for the match. BEFC started the match with some players playing in unfamiliar positions due to last minute drop-outs but stayed compact and organized denying Hibs any clear...
BEFC took part in the MIFA 4th Aniversary tournament with two teams. BEFC White played in group A and from the first match it was obvious they were serious contenders for the win. Emphatic wins in the first 4 matches with goals coming from all players gave BEFC confidence to tackle the more...
BEFC needed a win against Swiss Kickers to keep their Division 1 hopes alive and headed to their least favourite pitch in Soga. BEFC started the match understandably nervous due to the importance of this game and conceded two 'silly' goals within 15 minutes which made the task even hearder. BEFC...
