Orca Kamogawa and Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita continued to impress at the top of their respective divisions, the former winning 4-0 at home to Tsukuba and the latter beating their fellow students from Niigata by three goals to one. Bunnys Kyoto had their second win in a row, away to struggling Nagoya while the Japan Soccer College moved off the bottom in the East with a two-goal win over Norddea Hokkaido. In Matsushima, neither Tokiwagi Gakuen nor Yamato Sylphid could hold on to the lead and had to settle for a point each. Fukuoka's home game against the JFA Academy was postponed due to the ongoing emergency in Kyushu.

The following matches were played on April 24th:
Tokiwagi Gakuen High School 3 - 3 Yamato Sylphid
(Attendance: 150)
 |
| Yamato brought in both Onodera Shiho and Hashimoto Kiyoko for their first starts of this campaign |
 |
Tokiwagi Gakuen's lead goal came from a move down the right.
Sasaki Koko crossed from this position... |
 |
| Okino Kurea was left all alone in front of goal and gave Onodera no chance |
 |
| Okino's only goal of last season also came against Yamato Sylphid |
 |
| On Yamato's most recent visit to Matsushima, Ishibuchi Yuki scored twice and she equalised on twenty-three minutes, heading home at the near post |
 |
| Ishibuchi celebrates her first goal of the season |
 |
| Hori Yoshie looks for a passing option with Okino in pursuit |
 |
| Kuroda Maya finds space down the right and looks to cross |
 |
| Matsuyama Tomo was busy at both ends and here heads away another dangerous chance |
 |
| Mitsuhori Shizuka contrives to miss when put clean through on goal, lifting the ball high over both Suzuki Aguri and the crossbar |
 |
| Mitsuhori made up for her miss three minutes later, with a fine goal as Yamato began to take charge of the match |
 |
| Tokiwagi Gakuen again allowed Yamato to break with speed and here Ishibuchi repeats her feat from last season, scoring her second to give her side a two-goal lead |
 |
| Suzuki watches on in horror as the ball rolls in for the second goal in two minutes |
 |
| The two-goal deficit was quickly reduced to one by the lively Takikawa Yume, as Yamato gave her too much space in front of goal |
 |
| Onodera Shiho again had little chance of saving, even at full stretch |
 |
| A chance for a hat-trick came Ishibuchi's way with fifteen minutes remaining but on this occasion Suzuki was equal to the shot |
 |
| With two minutes remaining Yamato again allowed Tokiwagi Gakuen too much time and space, and Suzuki Hinako took full advantage |
 |
| All three of Tokiwagi Gakuen's scorers today scored just once last season |
 |
| The cherry blossoms were in full bloom today in Matsushima |
