St George finished top of the premier league first round

A single defeat, seven draws and seven wins, St George finished on top of the premier league at the end of the first round followed by Fasil Ketema and Mekele respectively. Diredawa, Welwalo and Hossana Ketema are down in relegation zone.
A slow start following the arrival of the Serbian Coach St George recovered in time riding up the ladder to claim the driving seat two points clear. Scoring twenty-two goals while conceding only eleven, the record champions appeared to have an extra energy to roar back in to championship title after a disappointing two seasons.
Second place Fasil Ketema’s home record is intact. Twenty six points from seven wins, five draws and three defeats, Seyoum Kebede’s team is second with 26 points followed by the defending champion Mekele with 25 points. The two sides are considered teams that could mount a strong title contention against St George.
Though the point difference between bottom of the table and ninth place Wolkite Ketema is just six, Diredawa, Welwalo and Hadiya are the three relegation threatened teams with 17, 16 and 13 points respectively. Hadiya has already appointed Tsegaye K/Mariam in place of Girma while Diredawa and Welwalo yet to make official the replacements to Simon Abay and Yohannes Sahle.

Mequanenet set course record at Zurich

Mequanenet set course record at Zurich

Ethiopia’s Mekuanenet Ayenew and Uganda’s Juliet Chekwel captured commanding victories at the 36th Zurich Maratón de Sevilla, a World Athletics Gold Label road race with respective clocking of 2:04:46 and 2:23:13.
Although Mequanenet had previously won marathons in Beijing and Venice, his pre-race PB stood at 2:09:00, so his victory in Seville was something of a surprise. The 29-year-old took almost two minutes off the course record.
Both men’s and women’s races had strong depth as seven men finished inside 2:07 and 14 broke the 2:08 barrier, while seven women went sub-2:28, confirming the new course is conducive to fast times.
The men’s race opened at brisk pace as a 15-man lead pack went through 5km in 14:45, led by pacemakers Henry Kiprop and Raymond Kipchumba. They passed 10km in 29:24 with all the main favorites in close attendance.
The pacesetters dropped out and by the 25th kilometer Kiplagat, Kiptum and Ayenew had broken away from the rest with the unknown Kiplagat, whose career best is 2:11:18, making most of the pace. Past the 30 km check-point the race became a two-horse battle. Mequanenet then moved to the front but they only travelled together for a couple of kilometers because at exactly the 34km point Mequanenet ’s relentless speed proved to be too fast for Kiptum and the Ethiopian began to build a sizeable gap.
Like a metronome, Mequanenet covered each kilometer section in 2:57 and even increased his speed over the closing stages to finish in a world-leading PB of 2:04:46, having recorded negative splits of 1:02:30 and 1:02:16.

Arbaminch and Butajera battling to Super league promotion

Edom Kedzo leading the strike force, former premier league side ArbaMinch Ketema posed to a surprise return to the top tier claiming Group ”C” top spot. A shocking 3-0 home defeat to cross town regional rival Selete-Werabe, Butajera shouldered off the top spot for the first time in the season. Debub Police and Ethiopia Medin are far from the leading party.
A strong defense that conceded only two goals in eight matches and a humble target man bagging six of eleven goals the team scored, unbeaten side Arbaminch is said to be the hottest favorite but for Butajera that is licking its wound after the heavy defeat in front of home supporters. A goal less draw in the latest clash against home side Ethiopia Medin, “The Alligators” claimed top spot with 22 points.
Licking its wound from the heavy home defeat Butajera is expected to recover fast and resume its strong promotion contention. Scoring eleven of the 16 goals between them strikers Belay Gezahne and Denkneh Kebede are capable of steering their side to promotion with some luck.
A marginal away victory over relegation threatened Yeka-Subcity, five points behind the leaders Gedeo Dilla takes third place. Though many considered the promotion race is between two horses (Arbaminch and Butajera) Gedeo is the only side considered outsider in the promotion race.
Former top tier sides Debub Police and Ethiopia Medin are rotting below mid-level sitting seventh and tenth respectively. Police collected 12 points from three wins, three draws and four defeats while Medin boasts only ten points from nine matches.
