Challenge League Fourth Round

Orca Kamogawa underlined their status as favourites to win the Challenge League at their first attempt as they beat reigning champions 4-0 in Rifu. Yamato Sylphid kept up the pressure with a win of their own and in the final game in the East Norddea Hokkaido and Tsukuba played out a 1-1 draw, which will please neither. In the West Shizuoka Sangyo stay top despite being held to a scoreless draw by Nagoya. Bunnys Kyoto therefore moved to within a point of the leaders with a 2-1 win over the JFA Academy and elsewhere Fukuoka rescued a point with a late goal against the Niigata University of Health and Welfare, who are bottom of the table on two points.
