Former Sileks player Darko Trajcev has joined Vardar on trial and will be looking to convince the manager of his qualities.

Vid Kizić and Milos Simonović have arrived on trial at Rabotnicki and participated in a friendly match yesterday against Makedonija Gjorce Petrov.

The first half of the season also ended in the Third League East.  Bregalnica from Delcevo tops the table with a seven point advantage over Babi, although the latter club has a game in hand as one of their matches earlier in the year was postponed and it will be played next Sunday.

In the two games involving teams near the top of the table, the home teams celebrated victories.  Ilinden 1955 defeated Kozuf, while Vardar from Negotino got past the leaders Korzo.

FFM has decided to move the match between Vardar and Bregalnica from Saturday to Sunday.

Ohrid manager Dragan Antić has been suspended for the next 14 months by the Football Federation of Macedonia.

In the final game to conclude Round 17 of the Macedonian First League, Shkendija recorded a narrow 2:1 road victory over Ohrid.

Third placed Babi failed to win in Probistip against Rudar, Astibo was beaten in Vasilevo and coupled with Bregalnica Delcevo’s victory over Sasa, the difference between on the top is now bigger.

In the battle between two of the promotion candidates this season, Korzo defeated Ilinden 1955 to remain in first place on the table, just one point ahead of second placed Kozuf.

Nigerian striker Ibe Zito Ogbonna will arrive on trial at Vardar where he will be looking to convince manager Ilco Gjorgjioski of his qualities.
