[TKB]


[Sekki's]


This tournament featured a total of four teams: the MIX team "Sekki's" and the beginner teams "Westers," "Sagyo-bu," and "TKB." They played two rounds of round-robin matches, with no winner declared. In the match between "TKB" and "Sekki's," an astounding goal early in the game led to the first score. When a loose ball took one bounce, a Sekki's player immediately volleyed it, scoring a spectacular shot that even surprised the opposing players. Sekki's then added another goal, but TKB came back with three goals for a reverse victory. In the match between "Sagyo-bu" and "Sekki's," Sagyo-bu was leading with two goals, but Sekki's tied the score with a female goal and, maintaining their momentum, scored another point for a reverse victory. In the match between "Westers" and "Sagyo-bu," after each team scored one goal, a Westers player reacted to a long pass from behind and scored a header against the goalkeeper's momentum, netting their second goal with just one pass. However, the score was later tied, and the match ended in a draw. In the match between "Westers" and "TKB," Westers got off to a good start with an early goal, but TKB scored three goals. Westers attempted to counterattack and equalize but were unlucky, with two shots hitting the post, resulting in a TKB victory.

As it was a tournament with no winner determined, all the teams enjoyed themselves, with moments of laughter, sometimes unusual plays, and sometimes serious competition. "Sagyo-bu," participating for the first time, was a team formed by members undergoing work training from Shizuoka Prefecture, who made good use of member changes and substitutions in each match. We look forward to your participation again! The next MIX & Beginner Tournament is scheduled for Saturday, July 18th. Beginner teams and MIX teams, please join us. We look forward to many participants!!
