Nearly Men Again

In freezing cold, wet conditions the Saitama Jets advanced to the semi-finals of the All-Japan ALT Soccer Champion of Champions tournament, before being beaten by winners Niigata.

Well done to the whole squad for giving everything they had, and thanks to all the supporters who braved the weather to cheer us on. Sorry we couldn't get to play in the final, and here's to better luck next year.

Congrats! Man I miss that. Losing to the eventual champs - some solace in that...

Gary,

that was the coldest I've been for a while.

We had a great weekend despite the reminder that Father time is chipping away at my legs.

looking forward to securing the Jets promotion,
