Week 2 Results

Two wins out of two for Trusted and the Cheese Makers.

Week one rearranged fixture

Aardvark Abacus 2 v 0 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum

A dreary season-opener for these two enlivened by ten second half minutes which saw Aardvark debutant Emmanuel Frimpong sent off and then the only goal of the game. A Nil Satis clearance hit Aaron Ramsey and looped into his own goal. Phil Jagielka picked up a clean to give the ten men the win. Paul has seen his chairman to say he might not make the top ten this year.

An Apology: Last week you may have got the impression that Claymore were going to run away with the league on the back of goal sensations Rooney and Aguero this season. The co-ordinator would like to apologise if last week's report was interpreted by anyone in that way but can not be held responsible for any embarrassment or losses that may have caused. The biggest embarrassing loss was Clive's who trailed to goals from Gareth Barry (Ray Wilkins said he hit his shot with a bit of 'swazz') and Kevin Davies. That man Rooney pulled one back but Dean's team weren't finished with Kenwyne Jones adding a goal and Emerson Boyce a clean to put a one-sided look on the score. Our new leaders are Trusted who scored goals either side of half time from Kevin Doyle and Edin Dzeko to get a foothold in their game against Boston Rock. Sheriff was given hope by Darren Bent midway through the second half but Jamie Carragher's clean was the clincher for Beef.

Matthew's Cheese Makers are up to second after adding to Nil Satis' woes. Another Aaron Ramsey own goal (!) and cleans from Tim Krul and Danny Simpson proving far too good for Paul's struggling team. If the new boys in second is a surprise how about the start by York's? Julian's team picked up a goalless draw with Aardvark Abacus who struggled with the two games in a week commitment.

A topsy-turvy six-goal thriller ended with the CFJs and Mega Bucks sharing the spoils. Chris led three times, including a 90th-minute goal from Luis Suarez but Dave levelled each time through Matt Jarvis, a John Ruddy saved penalty and finally an Antolin Alcaraz clean. Defending champions Fred picked up their first win when edging out Athletico Phoenix. Danny Welbeck scored what proved to be the winner on the hour with a glanced header past Brad Friedel. Ben Watson had a chance to level the match from the spot 12 minutes later but couldn't convert.

The Fabulous Artisans were an up and down team last season and it looks like Ben hasn't found the answer to that in the summer. His team surrendered meekly to San Dimas who picked up their first win thanks to three clean sheets. The Muppets also notched their first victory of the season with late goals from Anderson and Florent Malouda giving him a 3-1 lead and rendering a clean from Gary Caldwell scant consolation for Ceri.
