League table Positions by round The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.Results Top scorers Rank Player Club Goals 1 John BarazaSofapaka 18 2 Dan SserunkumaGor Mahia 17 3 Rama SalimGor Mahia 12 3 Kepha AswaniThika United 12 3 Evans AmuokaUlinzi Stars 12 6 Paul KiongeraKenya Commercial Bank 11 7 Jesse WereMathare United 10 8 Mike BarazaA.F.C.
