Challenge League Eighth Round

Tokiwagi Gakuen High School  0 - 3  Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara
(Attendance: 250)

Three goals in the opening half an hour were enough for Nojima as they held out against a Tokiwagi side which try as they might, could not find a goal to get themselves back into the game. Yoshimi Natsuki, who scored Nojima's only goal on their visit to Miyagi last year - in a game which resulted in a 6-1 loss for the visitors - once again found the target from a free kick positioned just outside the area. That goal came in the 6th minute and was Yoshimi's sixth of the season. Nojima's latter two goals were both scored by Omiya Reona - her first goals in the league since graduation from Waseda University.

Nojima are now four points off the top, and next weekend face Harima, who are one point and one place above them. Tokiwagi make the long journey to Fukuoka.

AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies  7 - 2  Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies
(Attendance: 302)

Though Uchiyama Tomoka gave Nagano the lead early in their encounter with Cerezo Osaka, their young opponents went into the lead after 36 minutes, with Nishida and Matsubara both scoring. Nagano recovered quickly, Uchiyama Tomoyo equalising just before half-time. In the second half it was no contest, as Nagano added five more, aided somewhat by Cerezo making five substitutions which unsettled the team. Hashiura, Yajima and Hamagaki's goals - one each - were added to by a brace from the league's top scorer, Yokoyama Kumi.

Nagano's next game is away to Ange Violet and they will hope to have enough to secure victory; Cerezo have a huge game against their relegation rivals the JSCL, who are seven points ahead of them.
