Report

Sorry this came late but I was at Rock In Japan Festival all weekend and spent the rest of the week recovering.  From the looks of it, doesn’t seem like a match I would have enjoyed attending much anyway.  Jofuku returned to the lineup that had given the team so much success in the last couple months, but a failure to keep the lead resulted in a heartbreaking injury time loss.  Tokyo now sits at 6th place in the standings (edged out by Shimizu on points) and Kashima’s loss means that the top half of the table draws ever closer.
