One game didn't survive the weather this week. Curiously it was in South Africa! I wasn't aware they were having snow too. Fred called for a postponement, Aardvarks manager Ady called the decision "spineless" (that's the bit I can re-print!) That'll add a bit of spice ahead of the rearranged fixture this week. To the games that were played then and a change of leadership. Sheriff knew that a win would take his team top and he delivered. After falling behind to Robert Huth's deflected free-kick Boston Rock were soon level through David Dunn's header which the linesman judged to have crossed the line. The second-half was tight but decided by Glen Johnson's clean, England's right-back finally showing some form.

Trusted hang on to third place only on goal difference after another CFJs victory. Chris's team breezed past Nil Satis, Matt Etherington slotting home on the half-hour to give the Juniors the advantage which they ultimately built on with a couple of cleans. The Muppets were also 3-0 winners, Ryan's team beating the lowly Final Fantasy. Ryan's talisman Carlos Tevez drilled his team ahead on four minutes, Danny Collins unfortunately poked into his own net on thirty and a rare Joleon Lescott clean completed the win.

No respite for Athletico Phoenix as they fell 2-0 at home to the Parrots. Dean needed clean sheets from Kolo Toure and Joe Hart to beat Brian's bottom placed side who are desperately short of goals. It was clean sheets for the Artisans too in their victory over Bassett Allsorts. Gael Givet and Martin Skrtel with the scores that put Ben into seventh, bouncing back well after his mauling last week.

San Dimas are unbeaten in five games now - five straight draws unfortunately for me! Mega Bucks were 2-0 up through Ngog and Nelsen but Peter Odemwingie grabbed a late brace to get me a point. Last but certainly not least, is York's first win in seven. That was against Claymore who have picked up just one point in fifteen. The twinkle-toed Samir Nasri, one of the players of the season so far, scored twice to jump Julian above his opponents and into eleventh.
