The Phoenix make the last four in their defence of the trophy.
Aardvark Abacus 2 v 3 Athletico Phoenix
The Cheese Makers 4 v 1 Mega Buck Bandits
The Dead Parrots 2 v 1 Real Muppets
YTFIB 2 v 0 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
The holders march on. Athletico Phoenix saw off the Aardvarks 3-2. Ady's team have been free-falling so fast they've approached Felix Baumgartner to be General Manager and were behind as early as the third minute. Robin van Persie latched onto an attempted clearance and fired into the far corner. Patrice Evra was allowed to head home mid-way through the second half and Santi Cazorla curled in a third in injury time. The Aardvarks then woke up with two cleans in reply but the game was up. Clean sheets saw the Parrots past the Muppets in their tie. Gaby Agbonlahor got his first of the season from close range for Ryan but the surprisingly reliable Emerson Boyce and Kolo Toure got the cleans to take Dean through.
Biggest win of the week came at the Stade de Fromage with Matthew's team seeing off the Bandits. Yohan Cabaye opened the scoring from a tight angle just before the break and two from Marouane Fellaini, either side of a Djibril Cisse reply, had the Cheesers 3-1 up before Sebastian Bassong's clean put the icing on the cheesecake. After getting their first win of the season last week Nil Satis reverted to type and crashed 2-0 at YTFIB. Bradley Johnson headed his first of the season on 44 minutes and Joey O'Brien clinched it for Julian with a clean.
