A message from the New Captain

Team,

This is a lengthy tome, so I firstly apologize.
GAIJIN COIN
A quick thanks to all who attended the AGM. Let's have it be known
that Al has stepped down due to work commitments and he has done a
great job over the past couple of years.

Going forward, as Captain of TGRFC for '08 I am going to be leading
one of Tokyo's best teams in the game the play in heaven. Backed up
ably by Vice-Captain Matthew Downer and a leadership group that can
always be relied on, I am sure we have a great season ahead of us.
More than sure.

Blackeyes and the Howler. The Second Round of The Champion`s League


Tokyo Gaijin The Tokyo Gaijin started the day at Ichikawa fields in typical fashion. Half the team was late. Though for a change, this was not in any way due to drinks the night before, late morning pillow talk or anything to be blamed on the players: it was because all of Tokyo was being battered and blown by some of the fiercest winds seen this side of Typhoon season. The majority of surface trains were suffering from stoppages as carriages ran the risk of coming off rails. Dan Salter and Lawrence Hii didn’t even make it to the ground as they were stuck on trains for over one hour. The Fijian connection of Semi Leiene and Saki Ratu turned up 5 minutes before kickoff.
