Nadeshiko League Division 2 Eleventh Round

Sfida Setagaya FC  1 - 2  Ehime FC Ladies
(Attendance: 358)

Ehime beat Setagaya for the second time in three weeks to keep them in the top half of the table, with Setagaya now well off the pace and unquestionably disimproving year after year. Nishigawa Sayumi scored both of Ehime's goals, her first this season, with a goal from the spot by Tomiyama Hitomi Setagaya's only reply. Neither side is likely to finish near the promotion spots, but Ehime are at least showing future potential.

Nittaidai Fields Yokohama  2 - 0  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 107)

A second win for Nittaidai over rivals Kibi - both goals coming from Kibi's nemesis Uemura Shoko - keeps them in touch with Nojima in second, three points behind their local rivals.

Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara  10 - 0  Fukuoka J. Anclas
(Attendance: 786)

Fukuoka have both scored the fewest goals and conceded the most, and today was their heaviest defeat yet. Nojima are determined to keep pace with Nagano's scoring as much as possible and leading the charge today was Minamino Arisa and Tanaka Yoko with a hat-trick each. The other scorers were Yoshimi, Kobayashi, Kawashima and Oyama, with Kobayashi the only one who had yet to score. Nojima remain three points behind Nagano. Fukuoka, who brought former TEPCO player Kanbara Fumi into their team for the first time today, are one point above the relegation zone.

AS Harima Albion  1 - 2  Ange Violet Hiroshima
(Attendance: 208)

Having started the season poorly, Ange Violet have now picked up ten points in the last five games and today got revenge for their earlier loss to Harima, who will be bitterly disappointed to have lost ground on the top three. A lead goal in the first half from Mizuno was added to by Katsurama in the second, and although Harima led in scoring chances, they could only pull one back, Murakawa Saki with her fifth goal this year. Hiroshima are sixth and clear of the bottom four. Harima are fourth.

AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies  7 - 0  Japan Soccer College Ladies
(Attendance: 580)

With Nojima scoring ten on Saturday, the pressure was on Nagano on Sunday to perform likewise to stay in control of the division, and they did so with little difficulty. The JSC has now lost six games in a row, including an earlier 6-0 defeat to the same opposition. Hamagaki Kana has been quiet this season but scored twice today, with Yokoyama scoring a hat-trick to take her season's total to fifteen; Saito Akane and Wada Makoto completed the rout. Next Sunday sees the top two clash again, where a Nagano win would make them odds-on favourites for the division title.

AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies:
