Due to the continued participation in the Emperor's Cup of YKK AP and Tochigi SC, there were a couple of postponements that prevented Sunday's list of JFL fixtures from being complete - but the action continued at both end of the league table. Frontrunners Honda FC surely have one hand on the title trophy now after securing three more points in a dramatic match at SC Tottori. Trailing 3-1 with only twelve minutes remaining, the home side must have thought they had done enough to secure a draw as goals from top scorer Hideki Uchiyama and Kohei Masumoto pulled them back on to level terms - but Daiju Kawashima popped up three minutes from time to seal a victory for the champions-elect. Hot on their heels, though, are still Sagawa Kyubin Tokyo, for whom Hideki Takeya scored a brace in a 3-1 win at Sagawa Printing.
Taking advantage of YKK's postponed game were Rosso Kumamoto and Sagawa Kyubin Osaka, who moved third and fourth respectively thanks to vital wins. Sagawa ran in all of their five goals against Sony Sendai in the final half-hour, while Daisuke Yano's 78th-minute strike proved to be the final score of the day as Rosso overcame neighbours and rivals FC Ryukyu 2-1. After their last two fixtures have yielded only a single point, it could be that this is a victory that gets Rosso's promotion push back on track, although they remain three points behind Sagawa Tokyo.
Conceding Yano's goal was nevertheless disastrous news for Ryukyu, who now find themselves out of the bottom two only on goal difference from Mitsubishi Mizushima, as the Okayama side notched a late Kentaro Takamatsu equaliser to grab a point at home to JEF Club. With Honda Lock and Ryutsu Keizai University's matches being called off, FC Kariya moved away from the foot of the division thanks to a 1-0 win over Alo's Hokuriku. But Arte Takasaki pulled off argubaly the result of the day, bouncing back from last week's humiliation at home to Mitsubishi as they travelled to Yokogawa Musashino and beat the Tokyo side 2-1, thereby recording their first victory since June.

Hokkaido League title holders and Regional League Championship Winners' Play-off participants Norbritz Hokkaido suffered a major setback in their preparations for the Play-offs at the end of this month when they played a friendly on Saturday against near neighbours Consadole Sapporo. The match was played over three periods of 45 minutes and ended up as an 11-2 massacre of the non-leaguers - surely a hammer blow to their confidence ahead of vital clashes against Fagiano Okayama and group favourites Banditonce Kobe.
