Team pause finished and who used it well will be found out soon. Number of f0ootball players from Georgian Championship in National Team was so small (Gelashvili (30minutes and Aftsiauri (15) “Zestaponi”) that it should not cause problems for Georgian coaches. But as for Gabelia’s cadet team, most part of it was players from Georgian Championship. (7-7 “local” players played against Turkey and Armenia). But playing in qualifying match of European Championship is quite better than playing in club.
10.09, 16:00. Samtredia, “Erosi Manjgaladze”.
“Samtredia” - “Torpedo” (Kutaisi)
Referees: Lasha Silagava; Zurab Jvaridze, Levan Tordia; Aleksandre Krichashvili.
Hosts and guests, both of them waits match between winless clubs during this championship. Sponsor is key issue for Samtredia. According to Zaza Adeishvili, General Director of the club if till the end of September team will not have sponsor which was promised by government and leadership of football, there is big chance club to refuse participation in championship. “We will have even money for leaving for Tbilisi”-stated Adeishvili.
Situation is quite different in “Torpedo”. New owner of the club spent so much money for the club that rival of “Torpedi” would solve all problems till the end of the year with such money. Nestor Mumladze head coach of “Torpedo” transferred Vakhtang Kvaratskhelia from “Wit Georgia”. By the way, he has already scored in new club. During holiday “Torpedo” beat “Samgurali” Tskaltubo 4:0. Khachiperadze and Kvaratskhelia scored one goal and Kemukhtashvili scored double.

Clubs started first round with lost (both of them lost 1:2), but they played two matches without getting goal in their goal. They held one official match in 1/16 and beat “Imereti” Khoni (1:0), which is beyond championship now. Guests are considered one of the champion candidate and fans wait for maximum result from them.
Regular transfer is common for “Zestaponi”. Geguchidze was observing for 3 weeks left-wing defender Nukri Manchkhava who plays in Belarus. According to latest news, he has left “Zestaponi”.
“Zestaponi” and “Baia” have met four times before and ‘Zestaponi” won all the matches. (1:0, 2:1, 1:0, 4:0).
11.09, 16:00. Poti, “Pazisi”.
“Kolkheti” (Poti) - “Dinamo” (Tbilisi)
Referees: Davit Kharitonashvili; Guram Chigogidze, Beso Chichinadze; Malkhaz Beuklishvili.
Match which is held in Poti is quite interesting. “Dinamo” Tbilisi always had difficulty to gain point against “Baia” and now it is more difficult because Davit Sherozia’s team is one of the leader. “Baia” has not get goal in their goal and has not lost match during this season.
“Dinamo” Tbilisi transferred 32-year-old Davit Mujiri, but it is supposedly him to play in the main staff against “Kolkheti”. “Dinamo” leaves for Poti on Friday in the evening and at 11:00 will have light training in “Pazisi”.

“Sioni” (Bolnisi) - “Wit Georgia” (Tbilisi)
Referees: Giorgi Vadachkoria; Levan Mikeladze, Giorgi Kurashvili; Levan Kvaratskhelia.
After successful start of championship, unexpectedly “Sioni” lost match against “Spartak” (0:3). “Wit Georgia“ still makes surprise specialists. Al lot of players left club and no one cannot wait for Merab Kochlamazishvili’s club to achieve big goals. A few time ago, forward Vakhtang Kvaratskhelia left for “Torpedo”.
11.09, 17:30. Rustavi, “Poladi”.
“Olimpi” (Rustavi) - “Spartaki” (Tskhinvali)

Giorgi Chedia left for “Tovuz” Turan from Temur Makharadze’s club. Revaz Dzodzuashvili brought him in this club. ”Mikhicha” (Dzodzuashvili) was promoted as an assistant of head coach. Supposedly he will transfer other Georgians there.
“Spartaki” after beatin “Sioni” improved condition in tournament. Supposedly “Spartaki” will not be able to gain point for championship. They met each other 9 times before. “Olimpi” lost only one match (this year as a champion “Olimpi” lost 1:4) and won 6 times ( goal difference 14:7)
