Nadeshiko League Division 2 Eighth Round

Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara and AS Elfen Saitama played out a scoreless draw which keeps both well ahead of the pack, and with Nojima yet to concede, they appear to have for now the edge over Saitama. Kibi picked up their third consecutive win to move away from trouble, with the conquered Hiroshima the ones most stuck in trouble, with just one point to their name. The Yokohama derby ended in a draw and Nittaidai are still third, with Yokohama well back in ninth. Ashleigh Sykes scored a second consecutive brace as Harima beat Ehime to pick up three valuable points and finally Cerezo Osaka Sakai and Setagaya drew to keep both teams midtable.
