It's not that often that you win and move down a place, but that's what's happened to erstwhile leaders Sagawa Kyubin Tokyo after Sunday's JFL fixtures. New top dogs are YKK AP, thanks to a 7-1 drubbing of Honda Lock which has already taken the lethal Hiroki Kishida / Mitsuru Hasegawa partnership onto a total of nine goals for the season so far.
Tochigi on the attack in their win over RKU
Another of the league's sharpshooters, Kodai Suzuki of Honda FC, was again on target but his team were unable to shake off the persistence of SC Tottori and so surprisingly dropped points in a 3-3 draw. Sharing fourth spot with Honda are Tochigi SC after their 3-1 win over Ryutsu Keizai University.
Sony Sendai managed their first win of the season as they beat Sagawa Kyubin Osaka 2-1, but the rest of the attention was focused on the bottom of the division, where the shock is that the only side still left without a point after five rounds are would-be promotion hopefuls FC Ryukyu. Jorge Yonashiro's men went down 3-1 at their deadly rivals, the improving Rosso Kumamoto, while previous wooden spoonists Mitsubishi Mizushima managed a useful 2-1 win away at JEF Club.

Divisions 1 and 2 of the Kansai League commenced their 2006 schedules with a full programme of matches on Saturday, with Division 1 champions Banditonce Kobe getting off to a winning start as they seek to gain a place in the JFL at the end of the year. They saw off promoted Kyoto Shiko Club 2-0, while Sanyo Electric Sumoto beat AS Laranja Kyoto 3-2 in the battle of two likely mid-table sides. Elsewhere in Division 1, however, there were shocks aplenty as Ain Food went down 3-1 at home to Takada FC and last year's second place side, Kobe FC 1970, crashed 3-0 at home to new club FC Mi-o Biwako Kusatsu.

In the Division 2 highlight, league newcomers Riseisha FC lost to Hermano Osaka on their debuts by the odd goal in nine. Last season's strugglers Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe picked up a useful 1-0 win at the students of Kohga School and Technonet Osaka beat Kihoku Football Group 2-0; but FC Kyoto BAMB 1993's two first-half goals were enough for them to record a win over Kobe FC Senior C.
