Another week where the teams at the top have a struggle. Fred retains the lead following a 1-1 draw with my team. Dave Azpilicueta limped off with a first-half clean to put the Gardeners ahead but Saido Berahino followed up his four goals in the Cup with the equaliser for San Dimas late on. FCK2 were the big winners in a week none of the top six won. Kevin's victims were the Aardvarks who've slumped to five defeats in six games. Andy Carroll got his first of the season in some style before the break and Harry Kane evaded Ady's defence to double the lead just after.

Claymore could only manage a draw as well this week. Cheese Makers were ahead in this one on 12 minutes when Scott Arfield suddenly thought he was Lionel Messi and beat three Claymore defenders before finishing tidily. The equaliser came from Dusan Tadic who slotted in with 20 minutes left following a rebound off a post. Athletico's good run ended with a home defeat to the Artisans. Diego Costa put Brian in front but Ben found clean sheets from Chris Baird and Florin Gardos (both their first of the season) to climb to the heady heights of 14th.

Trusted and the CFJs shared a 2-2 draw. Lazar Markovic opened his WSFFL account inside 10 minutes and also hit the bar but Alexis Sanchez soon started running the show for Chris and scored twice. Joleon Lescott's clean got Beef a point. Final Fantasy bounce back into the top half after beating the Parrots 2-0. Ceri's cleans coming from Gareth McAuley and Marcin Wasliewski.

Another draw this week was between Nil Satis and the Muppets. Laurent Koscielny lost his marker and headed in the opener on six minutes but a close range finish from Oscar and then a glancing header from Steven Naismith put Paul in front. Koscielny had the last word with the equalising clean. The main action this week was surprisingly at the YTFIB v Mega Bucks game. Charlie Austin scored a spot-kick on 33 minutes for Dave but Paul Konchesky levelled things right on half time. Julian's team clicked after the break with Marcus Gayle scoring from the spot, Mark Noble deflecting into his own net and Jason Puncheon picking out the bottom corner. YTFIB now a mere eight points adrift.
