The Byki Red Team picked up three points the easy way last Sunday when they were awarded a 3:0 forfeit victory over suspended FC Romania. The National Soccer League put the Romanians on the shelf for the season in May after the club failed to turn up for their first three matches of the season. The club’s failure to take care of their mounting debt to the League also played a role in the League’s decision to remove FC Romania from the competition.

The Byki improve to 2-1-2 for the season and the win puts them within striking distance of the top six in the 1st Division. The middle portion of the table is crowded and the Byki are in position to move up. The format of the competition is round-robin play for 11 games. At that point, the 1st Division table will split; the top six teams will go into the Championship Section and the bottom six will go into the Classification Section. Another round-robin competition then takes place within each Section. The top two teams in the Championship Section will be promoted to the Major Division for 2009.
