USFJ-AFL South Division title game postponed

A playing date for the U.S. Forces Japan-American Football League's Torii Bowl title game appears to be in doubt now that the South Division championship has been moved to Saturday at 6 p.m. at Kubasaki High School's Mike Petty Stadium on Camp Foster.

The game was postponed to allow players who'd played two games five days apart a chance to rest, for injured players on both sides to heal and for the chance to play at Mike Petty Stadium, which is a first-class field.

However, that makes it impossible for the Torii Bowl to be played on July 25, its most recent scheduled date as announced earlier this month by commissioner Sean Dath.

More to come. Stay tuned.
