6.	GOMEL	15	+18	23*	WWLWL

* Five points deducted prior to the season 

Sputnik and Krumkachy currently occupy the promotion places and it's looking good for the table topper's with a six point gap between them and third placed Arsenal who could only manage a 2-2 draw against bottom side Khimik at the weekend - It was Khimik's second point of the season and they were 2-0 up with 20 minutes to go. The five points deducted from Gomel's (relegated from the Premier League) total prior to the start of the season is looking like it could be very meaningful. 

The big game at the weekend is second v fourth as Krumkachy (on a five match winning run) travel to Lokomotiv Gomel.
