The Hokushinetsu League kicked off the new season on Sunday with certain teams hitting the ground running.In Division 1, newly-launched Zweigen Kanazawa put seven past Ueda Gentian, while last year's runners up Japan Soccer College went two better against Niigata University of Management.
The big match of the day, however, was the Nagano prefecture derby between 2005 champions Nagano Elsa and their ambitious newly-promoted rivals from the south, Matsumoto Yamaga Club. It was Yamaga who emerged triumphant with an impressive 2-0 win, to throw down the gauntlet to potential challengers; who can say how significant a result this may prove to be come the end of the year.
Fervorosa take on the yellow-shirted Teihens
In Division 2, the two sides promoted from the prefectural leagues had mixed results, LionPower Komatsu losing 1-0 at FC Antelope, while Maruoka Phoenix achieved a fine 3-0 win away to Toyama Shinjo Club. Shinjo's local rivals Valiente Toyama, meanwhile, will be very disappointed with a 1-1 draw at home to FC Kanazu.
