About M.E. myself and I

Eastbourne, East Sussex, United Kingdom
I have been an M.E. sufferer for a long time now, but sports replay gaming is an easy hobby for me to enjoy. Originally from Canvey Island, Essex, I was introduced to replay gaming a few years ago, leading to my first purchase: Cricket World. Most sports I share will be common, but there are some more obscure replays thrown in. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to say hello! - Chris

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Juryo Day Eleven

Wednesday January 21st 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

Daijuyama has won three in a row for the third time in this basho after defeating Futatsuryu, and will want to increase his personal best with eight-in-a-row men Aobajo and Onishiki along with Kinoarashi keeping up the pressure. Misugiiso won a good match against Daio, and  the Kotochitose-Kotetsuyama contest had chances go both ways.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Makuuchi Day Eleven

Wednesday January 21st 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

Zaonishiki is still looking for his first victory of the Hatsu, and today's match against Kirinji was as close as he has come so far. Kurama was also pushed hard on his way to a seven-match winning streak by someone down the rankings in Washuyama. The odds of Wakanohana and Hokutenyu lengthen further with defeats; Fujizakura losing a close battle against the unfavoured Fujizakura, and Hokutenyu has two in a row after winning eight.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Juryo Day Ten

Tuesday January 20th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

Onishiki, and one of the men who competed in the Makuuchi, Aobajo, are in the best form right now with seven straight victories. They, along with several others at 7-3, trail the leading trio of Daijuyama, Iwanami and Tamakiyama, the last of which was involved in a very entertaining contest against Kotochitose.

Hokutenyu's win streak ends at eight, and he joins his opponent Dewanohana, along with Kurama and Wakanohana, with an 8-2 record. Takamiyama was unable to join them as he has lost three of his last five after starting out 5-0; he lost today to Juryo man Aobajo. Kitanoumi still leads Chiyonofuji at the top.

A sumo wrestler's ring name is usually his own, but they may create a new one from the names of places, weapons or lineage. For example, "waka" means junior and is often an indication that their father was in the sport. The wrestlers in both the Makuuchi and Juryo divisions are addressed as -zeki rather than the usual -san or informal -chan.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Juryo Day Nine

Monday January 19th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

 Both Iwanami and Tamakiyama lose a second contest in the basho; the latter's defeat was a surprising one going by the recent form book. This allows Daijuyama, who defeated Iwanami, and Shinko, who has won six in a row, to create a four-way tie at the top. The Makushita wrestler Wakanofuji become the latest to conquer a hapless Tagaryu as one of three Makushita men invited to take part today.

Monday January 19th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

The Juryo wrestlers returned to competing against their Makuuchi counterparts today, but both Hidanohana (5-4) and Yutakayama (1-8), fresh off his first win of the season, suffered defeats. Elsewhere, a very strong candidate for contest of the year occurred between high-flying Wakanohana and the winless Zaonishiki, with the eventual loser surprised everyone by lasting a good length of time, threatening to win on more than one occasion.

Another good match, Sadanoumi vs Masudayama, added to the excitement of the day along with two upsets: Fujizakura, who has five wins in his last six, winning a tight battle with Tochiakagi; and Kurosegawa defeated Oshio in a battle of out-of-form men.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Juryo Day Eight

Sunday January 18th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

With the injury to Takanohana, no-one from the Juryo division competed today against a Makuuchi opponent. Instead, Oko would forgo his regular match in the third tier Makushita division and compete here.

Iwanami, Shinko, Aobajo and Onishiki stay on course with five wins a row for each of them, but Aobajo was inches away from defeat against Kotetsuyama. Shinko's win was against the odds, pushing Daijuyama down to a second loss with four others. This leaves Tamakiyama alone on top at 7-1 and still enjoying an unexpectedly great basho.

Toryu and Mitsuruyama may end up with an average win-loss record, but they put on a very entertaining match as the Hatsu passes into the second half of the tournament. Both men could have walked away with a 4-4 record but the favourite just did enough to earn it. Both Asashio and Takanosato lost more ground on the front-runners, falling back to 5-3 with two losses in their last three bouts.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Juryo Day Seven

Saturday January 17th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

Tamakiyama joins the rest of the Juryo class by suffering his first defeat, coming at the hands of Kagetora. This brings about a four-way tie at the top with Daijuyama, Kotochitose and Iwanami winning today. In the match of the day, Kotetsuyama wins two in a row for the first time against a resilient Hidanohana who has lost two on the bounce.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Makuuchi Day Seven

Saturday January 17th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

The first injury is not a light one and Takanohana is done for rest of the Hatsu. He was in visible distress, clutching his shoulder, after Asashio pulled him to the ground for his fourth win in five matches. Wakanohana and Takamiyama both lose and join the pack that are now 5-2; the latter losing a close battle with Kirinji.

A pair of contests did not go the way many expected. Sadanoumi ends a four-match losing streak, beating Wajima, and Tochiakagi lost his first match in four, Amanoyama dealing with him.

Basho Fury - 1981 Hatsu, Juryo Day Six

Friday January 16th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan

 The match of the day was from an unlikely source. Tamakiyama is the last unbetean man in thr Juryo but Tagaryu lasted a good amount of time, even threatening to win at one point, before eventually succumbing. Kotochitose lost his first match to a resurgent Onishiki, who has now won three straight, and Hidanohana suffered another loss, this time against the unfavoured Aobajo.

No surprises in the Juryo on the fifth day, but there were a couple of amazing matches. Onishiki picked up his second win in a row, defeating the hard-nosed Kagetora, and Tamakiyama had to pull out all the stops to end up on top in a truly epic match against Saisu.

Kotokaze, one of seven men dropping a second loss in the basho, was in a tight contest with Takanosato, and the only real upset came when Kurosegawa beat the out of form Tochihikari.
