After a decent shift at right back in Shinagawa and then brief cameo vs Jets at left back we thought that Sato might actually do well as a fullback. Coming on to stifle a very threatening and fleet footed Syu Syu Aoyama attack, Sato impressed to the degree that afterwards it was said 'he didn't put...
In a tough match against Vagabonds, fielding at least 3 division 1 ringers BEFC were down 0 - 1 at half time. Coming on at midfield right Marco had an instant impact crafting a near equaliser with slick skills and quick defence splitting passing. Had it not been for Vagabonds super keeper BEFC...
On May 23rd at the YCAC in Yokohama BEFC took part in the Footy Japan annual Charity Soccer 7's, raising money with NPO Center Circle for Refuguees Japan. It was a fine day out with a mixed BEFC team from our 11s and Futsal groups. This contributed to a slow start as everyone took sometime to gel...
BEFC's performance at the Charity 7's wasn't our finest. Could be described as BEFC vintage as it took to the last game for everyone to gel. However the man who was everywhere, in defence preventing goals and in attack scoring them is our top scorer Rich Sciver and the BEFC FJC Charity 7's MVP!
A great show of character as BEFC stuck to their guns and came from behind to defeat Jets. Taka has been on fire recently and in this match not only did he shut down attacks and their midfield from right back, but continued to explode forward and menace their defence. Always calling for the ball,...
Well stap me vitals! First consecutive MOM awards goes to James Pounder. The MOM award was tricky for a match in which it was felt no one really stood out by their own standards for an exceptional performance. However Pounder was putting in a massive shift trying to hold down the midfield, launch...
A tough match, with the full scale midfield battle/hackathon it was predicted to be! BEFC's Royal Airforce of James Pounder kept the skies red and blue, swooping down to destroy rampaging Lions coming through the midfield. Also with the important equalising goal, a deft header at the back post,...
Video Match Report for BEFC going out on penalties to Oakwood Clash in the TML Plate Quarter Final. The video shows plenty of BEFC possession and passing, but getting through the packed bodies in the opponents box proved too much.
This match everyone played great with many unsung heroes. However there can be only one MOM and in this match the most important thing was to get the opening goal. With the most outrageous halfway line lob from half time kick off, the BEFC MOM is - Kentaro Takahashi! There were a lot of plaudits...
All round fantastic goalkeeping and of course the amazing save with his face versus Spain - Theo Hayes is voted BEFC England's MVP for the MIFA Futsal Competition. With tight victories in the group stages where even the slightest blip or lucky longshot could change the game, a shield of steel...

Sprinting back the full length of the pitch from a corner counter attack, Ben Palmer gets in front his opponent, throwing himself onto the end of a flick-on and blasting a thunderous flying volley into the net - the keeper left with no chance. Sadly it is his own net! Ben wins Goal of the Match for...
The BEFC Man of the Match Award versus the Kanto Celts goes to Richard Sciver for resolute defending, controlling play and dashing forrays into attack from left back. For the team with only 11 players until half time, and our new goalkeeper having to cover playing outfield it was a good performance...
