Five matchdays in, and the picture at the summit of the elite championship is becoming clearer. A commanding quartet has already broken away: Pamplemousses SC, La Cure Waves, Cercle de Joachim, and AS Vacoas/Phoenix are forming an early leading pack, setting the tone for the weeks ahead.

Pamplemousses SC remain the team to beat. The Northerners protected both their unbeaten run and their spot at the top after grinding out a hard-fought 1-1 draw against defending champions Cercle de Joachim. It was a tense, physical contest that confirmed Pamplemousses’ resilience under pressure.

Behind them, the chase is heating up. Cercle de Joachim, sitting third and three points back, keep their sights fixed on the leaders. But it was La Cure Waves who made the loudest statement of the weekend, bouncing back in style from last week’s setback with a ruthless 4-1 demolition of Petite-Rivière-Noire FC.

That win brings La Cure Waves to within just one point of Pamplemousses SC, perfectly setting the stage for their head-to-head clash on Saturday, 6 December 2025. A match that now looks very much like an early showdown for the top spot.

Meanwhile, AS Vacoas/Phoenix remain in the mix, though their 1-1 draw with ASPL 2000 felt like a missed opportunity. The Vacoassiens will look back on dropped points that could have closed the gap on the leaders.

At the bottom, the battle is taking shape as well. PAS Mates remain rooted to last place, still searching for a first win. USBB/RH continue to struggle, while ASPL 2000 and Chebel Citizens have finally found a bit of breathing space.
