In the two months that have passed since then preview championship of Ukraine U-19, its participants played from six to nine matches.

Six is ​​the minimum program that corresponds to the six tours held in the spring of 2023. All that was played apart from this was the rematch of the matches of the autumn part of the 2022/2023 season, which, we remind you, is being played in extreme conditions, postponed for various reasons. But it is done. Thanks to the ZSU.

The best result in terms of the number of points scored in 2023 was demonstrated by "Shakhtar" - 20. But the miners also played the largest number of matches - nine. And they failed to win in three of them: a March defeat ("Rukh" - 0:2) and two April draws ("Chornomorets" - 1:1, "Lviv" - 0:0).

Perhaps the loss of the orange-black leaders, who were promoted in the spring to the first teams of the UPL clubs based on playing practice: Andriy Buleza - to "Minai", Kyrylo Sigheev and Roman Savchenko - to "Olexandria", the top scorer of Chu U-19 Vladyslav Pohorily - in "Zory". Instead, footballers born in 2006 (Vasyl Bundash, Viktor Tsukanov, Bohdan Tryfanenko) and even 2007 (Yevgeny Garmash) get more opportunities to prove themselves.

"Rukh" (19 points out of 21 possible) and "Dynamo" (14 out of 18) are having the most productive spring part of the season so far. The Lviv team, whose leadership Vitaly Ponomaryev (he replaced Leonid Kuchuk in the first team of "Rukh") handed over to Mykhailo Dyachuk-Stavitskyi, failed to win only one match - against "Dynamo" in the last round (0:0) - and continue to step towards championship title. And the Kyiv team lost points back in March against "Dnipro-1" (1:1), which scored a little less points in the spring (11 in seven matches) than in the fall (16 in 14).

The results of "Veres" have changed very noticeably for the better: in the first part of the season - seven points in 13 matches, at the beginning of spring - 13 in eight. The difference is simply enormous! Only the already mentioned leaders scored more ("Shakhtar" - 20, "Rukh" - 19, "Dynamo" - 14 plus "Alexandria" - also 14, but in seven matches), and "Veres" rose from the penultimate place in the table to 11 -that.

"Minai" and "Metalist" have not won a single victory after the resumption of the U-19 ChU, which have scored two and one point, respectively, at this stage of the season. The people of Kharkiv moved from the seventh place in the standings to the 12th place.
