The FAZ division 1 North league is proving to be the most competitive for the year 2015. It has a table topper but no assurance of staying there. After 12weeks of Football there has been a number of changes.

Most recently Lumwana Radiants, after Kalulushi Modern Stars lost their game last Saturday against Chindwin Sentries, were on top. Lumwana Radiants went to the top on Sunday after coming from behind; at home upsetting Ndola united second half lead to win the game 2-1. They enjoyed a two-day table supremacy before the head to head clash scheduled for Wednesday, 20th May. Kalulushi, playing at home, reclaimed the top when they beat Lumwana Radiant’s 1-0, albeit a bad first half performance.

This Sunday, the Modern Stars travel to play one of the leagues stragglers, Mining Rangers while Lumwana Radiant’s host Kitwe united who are sitting in 11th place but only 4 points below. The surprise league entrant is Real Nakonde who in the last few weeks leap frogged the table to sit in 4th place with 20 points and the only other team to have only lost one game so far as have Mufulira Blackpool. Lumwana Radiants, with 22 points, have a game in hand scheduled for Wednesday 3rd June against the team that got a second attempt after demotion last season. ZESCO Luapula came back to division 1 after Premium sports of Kabwe didn’t show for 3 games. All the teams, Radiants included, that got free points off of Premium sports were stripped but got a game in hand against the Mansa outfit. They are still catching up with the rest of the teams in the league and are at 9 games already after 12 week days of soccer.
