So here is the thing, we have six teams playing in the Premier League from Friday to Sunday; two of them are in the top of the table, three of them are right at the bottom and one of them is just in the middle.

It is safe to say that by the end of the weekend, things would have shaped up a bit all over the table.

Lions drop points in Kono

So Lions dropped two points over the weekend in Kono. For the title race, this means instead of leading 2^nd place FC Kallon by four points or at least one point (if FC Kallon wins), they are now leading them by just two points. Yes, just two points. FC Kallon could go top of the table with a win against Old Edwardians this Saturday.

When East End Lions missed that last penalty kick, that was it. Kamboi Eagles became the first champion of the Independence Day trophy. But this did not just happen; this was not meant to happen. They knocked out two of the biggest teams - FC Kallon and East End Lions - in the country on their way to the title podium.

This was not a mere stroke of luck. This was achieved through sheer hard work and guts.
