Kansai League Division 2
Going straight to the top of the early season table in Division 2 of the Kansai League are newly-promoted student side Hannan University Club. After a 6-2 defeat last weekend of Kyoto Shiko Club, they beat fellow university team Riseisha FC 2-1 on Saturday to maintain their impressive start. But Takada FC, relegated from Division 1 at the end of 2006, are behind them only on goals scored following their 4-1 win over Kihoku Football Group.

Something of a shock is the fact that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe have also managed two wins out of two, their second three-pointer being a single goal affair with Hermano Osaka. The fourth fixture of the round ended in a 1-1 draw, thus helping both Kohga School and Kyoto Shiko Club to get off the mark for the season.

Kyushu League
The Kyushu League 2007 schedule is already up to round 5 and last season’s top two sides – V Varen Nagasaki and Nippon Steel Oita – have yet to drop a point between them as they make a bid for the second year running to move up to the JFL. But V Varen’s goal difference is already far superior and they knocked in another four without reply in their match against struggling Osumi NIFS United. Nippon Steel meanwhile rather scraped to a 2-1 win over Okinawa Kariyushi.

Honda Lock have a game in hand back in third place but easily saw off Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki – whose days of early season shock success seem to be well and truly behind them. And playing catch-up in fourth are New Wave Kitakyushu, 3-0 winners this time over an underachieving Volca Kagoshima side. Down at the bottom of the table, however, Kumamoto Teachers managed an excellent 2-1 win at Nanakuma Tombies to move away from the relegation zone.
