Bahir Dar City beat Mekelakeya 2-1 Sunday to earn their first win of the season and Hawassa City piled more misery on newly promoted Shashemene City with a 1-0 win.

Bahir Dar drew first blood in the 12th minute with a strike by Firew Solomon and will take the 1-0 lead to halftime.

They were soon 2-0 up early in the second half following Habtamu Tadesse's 49th minute goal.

Mekelakeya pulled one goal back on through their star signing, Shimeles Bekele to bring the scores down to 2-1

Shashemene City on the other hand have not found the going smooth in their second game since gaining promotion.
