In a fine all round team display all players put in a great performance. However there can only be one MOM. While scoring the goals doesn't a Man of the Match make, it does when we consider where they are scored from. Playing deep in holding midfield, breaking down attacks and bombing forward into...
After a wobbly end to 2015 BEFC got back on track with a crushing win over Saitama Jets in the FJC Plate. It took until near the second half for the team to remember who each other were but once it clicked back together BEFC backed up their ambition with some classy football and overpowering play...
The Footy Japan Competitions New Year 7s tournament was a bit of a disappointing affair for BEFC, who despite some really strong play crashed out losing all games by a 1 single goal. This was only made slightly better by learning that the opposition teams in their group - won the entire tournament...
In an entertaining match on real grass against Kodansha it was an open and exiciting game. With his new Truesocks increasing his reaction time even more, Go 'The Spider' Oomichi span his web of defence across the middle of the pitch. In the later stages Go made a real threat impact running with the...
A brilliant first half team performance was contrasted against a horrible second half collapse. However one player who remained on form and a constant threat was Kentaro Takahashi. After a number of BEFC attacks going close but not quite enough, Ken decided to open the scoring with his own bit of...
Congratulations to captain Ben Palmer, winning the BEFC Player of the Year Award 2015. Since taking over as Captain last season, he must be doing something right! Known for his meticulous attention to tactics and highly proficient in the lesser recognised technique of 'organisation', BEFC are yet...
Congratulations to Ken, winning the BEFC Golden Boot as top scorer for 2015 with 9 goals and notably the now legendary goal from the half way line versus Imperio FC. Ken arrived at the start of January opening his scoring with a goal from a direct corner, inswinging into the back corner. He then...
Congratulations to vice captain and treasurer Jorge Marenco for winning the BEFC Futsal Player of the Year. As tenacious on the futsal court as he is on the 11s pitch Jorge is known for fielding his terrifying Spanish Armada futsal team in the BEFC friendly cup and previous MIFA competitions, as...
Each match and competition BEFC decide a Man of the Match. This year we added the Adecco Man of the Match 2015 award to our annual Player Awards This award was eligible to any player who had been awarded Man of the Match or MVP during 2015, and was up to the officiate to decide who deserved to be...
Coming back from behind to beat the Vagabonds it was BEFC's best total team performance this season. We could award it to the team as a whole but there can only be one Adecco BEFC Man of the Match! In a last minute change of formation to combat the Vagabond's physical midfield, Nils Simon and Shun...
BEFC spent a lot of their time against King George camped in the George's half trying to carve a path through a stubborn and packed defence. Then covering back to shut down the attempts of a counter attack, before pressuring on with the attack. Kazushi Komatsu completed the 'Triple K' midfield...
This must be the absolute closest we have come to being all lame-o-tron 6000 and naming the whole team as MOTM as 5 of the 8 were nominated by team mates (and Bran, the traitor). It was Ken, however, who just nudged it over the line with 3 votes, followed closely by my lovely self ( Captain Caner...
BEFC starred in a Halloween horror story as an irregular away team were put beyond the grave by a full strength rampaging Lions. It shows the competiveness of Division 2, but also that you have to stand up, take your punishment and come back stronger. And this decided the deeply discussed decision...
Yet again it wasn't the day of the individual, rather the whole team clicking in greasy-smooth unison as they fought and battled to a well-earned point against an opposition in the upper echelons of the league. With the overall display being somewhat more disjointed in the second half due to an...
Veteran BEFC member Check Chin Yong took up the captain's armband and led the BEFC Futsal team into the AMIA International Futsal Competition returning with a well fought 3rd place. Very democratically Chin had the sqaud vote for the MVP award. 'Maybe' to his surprise (but not ours), Captain Chin...
