Round 16 Results Shabab Al Urdun 0-0 Al Wihdat Amman Al Faisaly Amman 0-0 Al Ramtha Kufrsoum 3-3 Manshia Bani Hassan Al Yarmouk Amman 2-2 Al Buqa'a Amman Al Arabi Irbid P-P Al Jazeera Amman Al Ahli Amman 0-3 W.O. Al Hussein Irbid Not sure why one game was P-P and one awarded as a walkover. Both games were set to be played last Friday, so I guess other outside causes stopped the matches. I guess Al Ahli refused to play or not turn up and the other game both teams agreed . Anyway, Wihdat sit 8 points clear still after Al Faisaly failed to apply any pressure at all at the top. After last years tight title race between the two, it's been a rather disappointing season which has been over since basically week 8!
Right Jordan football followers, time for an update on events in Jordan. *Al Ahli appeared to withdraw from the championship. This happened around the times of the upraising's.
