PCMT quarter-final results

Aardvark Abacus 2 v 2 Fred West Landscape Gardening XI
Claymore Athletic FC 0 v 3 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
The Dead Parrots 0 v 1 You Know Your Boston Rock FC
The Fabulous Artisans 3 v 2 Real Muppets

May as well start with the holders, Boston Rock, who are now one game away from a fourth straight Paul Cartmell Memorial Cup final. John Terry was wheeled out for the game despite a bad back and his clean was the only mark on the scoresheet against the Dead Parrots. Ady will have to wait a while longer to know if his Aardvarks have a chance of making their fifth final in the last six seasons. Ady's team were held to a 2-2 by highflying Fred West for whom David Silva notched a last minute equaliser. The Gardeners getting a draw even though the manager is in Crete and leaving his team to get on with it!

Surprise of the round came at the Goddard stadium with the Artisans upsetting second in the league Real Muppets. C-Y Lee (who I think used to be in the Style Council) put Ben ahead mid-way through the first half but yet another Carlos Tevez brace swung the game in the Muppets favour with ten minutes on the clock. The Artisans showed some steel which has been missing this season with James Collins and Leighton Baines getting the deciding cleans. The 'Evertonian derby' was a one -sided affair - Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta slamming home shots either side of half time for Nil Satis, no response from Clive's team.

The semi-final draw will take place when Ady and Fred have sorted out their tie. The games are set for the midweek of 9/10 November.
