Cherkasy region started preparing for the spring part of the season as the last of the first-league teams.

Denis Marynchuk, known for his performances for "Alexandria", "Obolon" and "Mykolayiv", has been appointed the new head coach of Cherkasy. Recently he was a playing coach in amateur teams of Kyiv region. The process of replenishing Cherkasy Region is underway, and the players and coaching staff are tasked with maintaining their residence permit in the first division.

In February, Kremin managed to hold half a dozen sparring matches, in the last parting with LNZ-Lebedyn - 3: 3. Note the return to the ranks of the team after a long break caused by a serious injury, striker Ivan Yanakov.

Two more teams went to the training camp in Turkey - "Prykarpattia" and "Avangard". But on March 2, the Minaya players have already returned from Belek and will continue their preparations for the quarterfinal cup match with Ingults at home. In the last sparring matches, Vasyl Kobin's wards defeated Akzhayik from Kazakhstan (3: 1) and exchanged goals with their compatriots from Obolon-Brovar (1: 1). Andriy Tkachuk from Chornomorets, Roman Nikityuk from Rukh, brothers Petro and Vasyl Lutsiva from Oleksandriya and Bohdan Orynchak from Prykarpattia joined the Minya.

But the leader of the first league, "Rukh", in the next sparring lost to the most titled team in Belarus - BATE (0: 1). Despite the failure, the leader of Lviv Yuriy Bakalov was satisfied with the actions of the wards, believing that they played at least a draw, because they did not realize three goal moments. By the way, the most meticulous spectator at this control match was the head coach of "Agribusiness" Alexander Chizhevsky. Podolians are also currently preparing in Turkey (after the defeat of Kazakhstan's Taraz - 0: 1, they defeated the Belarusian "Isloch" - 2: 0), and the coach took the opportunity to see in the case of "Movement", with which "Agribusiness" will start spring on March 22 part of the championship. Already in Belek, the club signed a contract with midfielder Serhiy Kosovsky, the son of the famous football player Vitaliy Kosovsky. Last fall, a newcomer to Agribusiness defended the colors of Obolon-Brovar.

So far, Lutsk's Volyn has not been able to achieve a positive result, losing to Aarhus (Denmark) - 0: 2, Moldova's Sheriff - 0: 3 and Dynamo from the capital of Belarus, Minsk - 2: 3. However, Andriy Tlumak, the manager of Luhansk, remains calm, experimenting with the lineup. Time still allows…

The same cannot be said about Ingulets, which will clarify its relations with Minai in the Ukrainian Cup on March 11. Serhiy Lavrynenko's wards defeated Torpedo-BELAZ from Belarus (3: 1) after winning over Okzhetpes from Kazakhstan (3: 0). In the last sparring, Mladen Bartulovich, a newcomer to Ingulets, scored a double.

But the sparring partners of "Nikolaev" and "Balkan" in Turkey were teams from Denmark. And our compatriots successfully passed the exam: the "citizens" beat "Holstenbro" (4: 2), and the players from Zorya - "Skovshoved" (2: 0).
