- Just as quickly as Ikhlas seemed to be turning things around, another meeting with their Cambridge rivals ended with a 6-0 beating where they were outshot 26-9 and were under siege all game. Despite the humbling loss, Ikhlas continues to refer to Emaan as "Cambridge Two" under the guise that until Emaan wins a championship they are mere pretenders.
- Waqar Khan was a force in the battle of Cambridge, racking up two goals and two assists and leading his team to a dominant win. The leadership of Khan combined with "Coach K" may prove to be fruitful after last games display
- Haya continues to roll as they defeated Ihsan to up their record to 4-0 to start the season, Naeem Akhtar and Junaid Mohammad have been key to their hot start, Akhtar producing some highlight reel goals along the way.
- Haya has also received some great play from (fill in the blank) Malik, although Rizwan Malik has stood out a bit more when he is not battling the media
- Shukr has had an interesting start and depending upon your perspective they are either:
> Undefeated (Glass half full)
> Winless (Glass half empty)
- Regardless of your perspective the fact is that Shukr is both of those adjectives, they have four ties in all four of their games so as Ihsan described them a few weeks ago, "they always bend but never break." Shukr needs to get things going because right now they are tied for the lowest goals scored with Ikhlas. Shuaib Hussein with a goal in four games and Gehad Al-Hundi with just an assist in three games won't do - that said if these two can get going then Shukr will surely be a threat to actually win a game
- After a quirky start to the schedule where the first four weeks saw home and home series, week five has teams face a new opponent so time for some new rivalries to start up
