Aardvark Abacus 4 v 4 You Know Your Boston Rock FC
Claymore Athletic FC 1 v 0 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Mega Buck Bandits 1 v 1 Fred West Landscape Gardening XI
Real Muppets 2 v 2 Athletico Phoenix
The Cheese Makers 0 v 2 San Dimas High School
The Cow-Faced Juniors 2 v 2 Final Fantasy XI
The Dead Parrots 1 v 4 The Fabulous Artisans
Trusted By Millions 4 v 0 York’s Returning Glory

Trusted stay unbeaten and got back to their fluent ways against York's. Beef's team took an hour to break down their opponents but Ramires bundled them ahead and the returning Steven Gerrard struck a free-kick through a flaky wall seven minutes later to double the lead. Julian's previously tight defence then caved in to a Hernandez goal and Shawcross clean. The Fabulous Artisans have quietly climbed to second and despatched the Parrots 4-1. Mario Balotelli scored an instinctive overhead kick top open the scoring and Adam Johnson struck just after half-time after a Steven Warnock error. Warnock pulled one back for Dean but two cleans saw Ben out of sight.

Aardvark Abacus are third after a high-scoring draw with Boston Rock. Anthony Pilkington struck for Ady in the first minute but John Terry's header levelled the game just before the break. Then the fun started. Vincent Kompany and Pilkington again made it 3-1 while the Boston fightback came from smart finished from Jermain Defoe and James Milner. Sheriff thought he'd picked up his first win when Chris Eagles struck on 90 minutes but the celebrations were short-lived as Matthew Upson's clean meant it finished 4-4.  Claymore had been banging them in so far this season but in a low-key Evertonian derby the only score was a Jonas Olsson clean in Clive's favour.

Fred West seemed to had got things rolling recently but tripped up against Mega Bucks. Dave was ahead on 10 minutes through Russell Martin but a Rafael Van der Vaart spot-kick completed the scoring in this one five minutes before half-time. The Cheese Makers have found it tougher going after a great start and despite Juan Mata turning San Dimas inside out there was no one to supply the finish. San Dimas won the game in three second-half minutes thanks to Ali Al-Habsi's saved penalty and Peter Odemwingie's shot on the turn.

It's another week without a win for the bottom-place Muppets too. Athletico Phoenix were ahead through Robin van Persie in 28 seconds but Chris Brunt and an unmarked Danny Sturridge had Ryan in front on 31 minutes. It was that man van Persie with an exquisite free-kick eight minutes from time that grabbed a point for Brian. The CFJs must have thought they were on there way to a revenge win over Final Fantasy when Chris Samba's header put them two up in 24 minutes. Ceri's team are proving tough to be beat and Seb Larsson's brilliant set-piece and then the bargain that is Demba Ba made 2-2 and that's how it finished.
