The Glo Premier League kicked off on September 20 and is due to end in April next year. After five rounds of matches in the current season, Lobi Stars of Makurdi lead the pack of 20 teams with nine points. Enyimba International come a close second on the same number of points but with an inferior goal difference.
After a shaky start, Shooting Stars are now placed 16th on the log with four points after beating Wikki Tourists 1-0 and pulling a 1-1 draw against Dolphins.
