A crowd of 1538 people were there to see 2006 Chugoku League champions Fagiano Okayama begin the defence of their title in the first round of matches in the new season on Sunday. The Pheasants saw off Mazda SC, newly promoted from the Hiroshima Prefectural League, netting four goals without response - but even that was only the third biggest win of the day. Kota Fukuhara scored twice for FC Central Chugoku as they thrashed seemingly perpetual whipping boys Hitachi Manufacturing Kasado 7-1.
In Hiroshima, Fagiano and FC Central's most likely challengers for the title Sagawa Kyubin Chugoku strolled to a 5-0 triumph over their neighbours from Fukuyama, JFE Steel Western Japan. The fourth game pitched Hiroshima Fujita SC up against the developing former Yamaguchi Teachers side, Renofa Yamaguchi and this encounter ended goalless. Previous Chugoku League rules would have meant that a drawn game was subsequently decided on penalties, but for 2007 the teams will instead follow standard practice and take a single point apiece.
