Saturday's scores from the Regional League Championship Winners' Play-offs, as the First Round groups take shape...
Group A
Banditonce Kobe 3-0 Norbritz Hokkaido
Three second-half goals from the Kansai League champions Banditonce Kobe have given them a glimmer of a hope as far as qualification for the Final Stage is concerned. But for this to take place, today's opponents Norbritz Hokkaido must achieve exactly the right result in the last of the First Round games on Sunday against leaders Fagiano Okayama.
1. Fagiano Okayama 3 (+2)
2. Banditonce Kobe 3 (+1)
3. Norbritz Hokkaido 0 (-3)

Group B
Japan Soccer College 1-4 V Varen Nagasaki
A comfortable win for favourites V Varen Nagasaki leaves them needing only a draw in tomorrow's match against Luminozo Sayama to make sure of their place in the Final Stage.
1. V Varen Nagasaki 3 (+3)
2. Japan Soccer College 3 (+2)
3. Luminozo Sayama 0 (-5)
Group C
Shizuoka FC 3-4 FC Mi-o Biwako Kusatsu
FC Gifu 2-0 Kamatamare Sanuki
Group C is proving the real nailbiter of this year's competition, as fancied side FC Gifu will have to go about it the hard way if they are to qualify for the Final Stage. Having beaten deadly rivals Shizuoka FC on Friday, a goal in each half took them past minnows Kamatamare Sanuki - only to discover that FC Mi-o Biwako Kusatsu had also battled past Shizuoka to stand atop the table on goal difference. Gifu must therefore beat FC Mi-o in tomorrow's showdown to maintain their challenge for a place in the JFL.
1. FC Mi-o Biwako Kusatsu 6 (+7)
2. FC Gifu 6 (+3)
3. Shizuoka FC 0 (-2)
4. Kamatamare Sanuki 0 (-8)

Haruno Track & Field Park, Kochi - Group C venue
Group D
Nippon Steel Oita 1-3 YSCC
1. YSCC 3 (+2)
2. Nippon Steel Oita 2 (-2)
3. TDK Akita 1 (-)
The most open First Round section is proving to be Group D, in which Nippon Steel Oita could have confirmed their qualification for the Final Stage by beating Kanto side YSCC. But a two-goal deficit at the interval was too much for Nippon Steel to pull back and so TDK Akita still remain in the hunt - indeed, they will win the group if they are able to beat YSCC on Sunday.

Preparing for their match with YSCC, it’s mighty Nippon Steel Oita
