BELARUSIAN FOOTBALL WEEKEND ROUND-UP

I apologise that this week's round-up of Belarusian Football isn't up to it's usual standards. I just haven't had the time to write a full review.

BATE still lead the Premier League thanks to their 1-0 win over Isloch with Belshina (who were 2-0 up against Slavia Mozyr) and Smolevichy without a win - There is now a gap of six points between Smolevichy in 15th and FC Minsk in 14th who have two games in hand. 

Smorgon are still top of the First League but could only manage a 1-1 draw against Oshmyany - Smorgons' goal-scoring in their games now reads 1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 1 and 1. 

In the second league Chakya Zelva's poor run of results continue with a 13-0 defeat against Baranovichi. Zhoblin were also subject to a heavy defeats going down 12-0 to Shakhtyor Petrikov who have won all six of their league games played so far.
