Participant Comment
TANAKA Kazunaru, Head of Scratch
We are a team consisting of the total of 24 players ages 23 through 39 and participating FFC Kashiwa’s activities on an individual basis, 11-a-side full-court football and Futsal Society. Today we participated in the event with 8 players out of them. We got a smack in the eye starting the first match because of the heat and being too uptight. But we could win the rest of the matches including qualifiers and the final to obtain the trophy.
Only one third of our members participated this time,but I heard this was the first qualifier, so we will once again participate in the event with other members!! Of course, we will try to win the championship again next time!!

Champion Team Comment
MIKAMI Shogo, Captain, Shochito Yukaina Nakamatachi
We organized the team for this tournament with members who have participated in the Hokkaido League. I didn’t expect we could win the championship. We can go back to Hokkaido feeling good. As there were lots of participating teams, and we’ve repeatedly got tough games. That’s what made us even happier after winning.
