The league
table is beginning to show signs of serious moving and shaking, and it appears
that the two Uniteds (Bonya and Brothers) are the movers and shakers!

Bonya came back from Missionary exile, last week, to record their second and third straight wins. In their opening game, they were up against the ABU All Stars, featuring Linda, Faith and Esther! The All Stars put up a good fight, helped by Kalingi’s brace, but it was the hat-trick of Stuart and the goal by Omo, that proved decisive. There were a few incidents that seemed to light the torch paper, and decisions were not taken too easily, so the referees will need to be tougher with players who show dissent, or step out of line – and the players, they’ll have to learn that the referee’s decision is final!

In the third
game, Bonya cast aside Hard Rock, 4-0.
Hard Rock look the strongest, as they are now holding up the other six
teams in the league, but though they played hard on the night, they were more
than matched by the brilliance of Bonya.
Stuart added to more to his earlier hat-trick, to make that five on the
night; Omo scored a second of the evening; and Braisaac was rewarded for his
hard work with his one goal. It was a
tough game, and not one for the faint-hearted.
This writer has decided that when the Brothers play Hard Rock, he will
be wearing his shin pads.

The night’s
other game, featured Alpha FC, who last week appeared as though they’d come back
from the dead with Lazarus! Beaten in
the first game, 8-0 by Bonya, they bounced back to thrash Hard Rock 6-0! But last night, normal service was resumed,
as a depleted side, aided by Dominic Iverson, lost 4-0 to Brothers United. The Brothers too, were short of key players,
but managed to kit up a few fans to play for them: Gomez, Miko, and
Innocent. Miko helped himself to two
goals, and regular teenage prodigy, Kenny also scored a brace. But, again, the star of the night was 13 year
old Murray Robertson, who is now the only goalkeeper in the league, yet to let
in a goal. There is no doubt that
Brothers would not be where they are in the league if it were not for
Robertson.
Below is the
league table, and next Friday’s fixtures.
With Bonya playing the subs, the other teams have a chance to make up
the difference between them and the top team.
Will Brothers maintain their unbeaten record? Could Goy take a maximum six points to go
into Round 5 one point ahead? Or will
there be some surprise movers and shakers, in Africa’s premier Premier
League? Stay tuned to
