Claymore sank to a disappointing defeat this week but Clive now needs just four wins from his last six games after his rivals slipped up too.

Nil Satis are having a decent season despite (or maybe because of) a lack of interference from their manager but I don't think anyone was expecting a 5-1 victory for them over their 'bluenose' rivals. Bafetimbi Gomis got two more for Paul and although Olivier Giroud puled one back for Claymore a bunch of clean sheets handed Clive his first defeat this year. The Gardeners are second but could only draw with YTFIB. Fred had been two up in this one - Eden Hazard's spot-kick followed by Jermain Defoe's superb volley before the break. The game was level five minutes into the second period though, Julian hitting back though Jason Puncheon's free-kick and a scruffy Paul McShane effort.

Trusted and Athletico fought out a draw that doesn't really help either of them. Victor Anichebe bagged his first of the season for Brian and might get a few more opportunities with Diego Costa limping off. Jordan Henderson's cool penalty 15 minutes from time ensured the game ended even. FCK2 also failed to close in going down 3-0 to the Muppets. Esteban Cambiasso, Cheik Kouyate and Hector Bellerin all got first half goals for Ryan who also managed to keep Harry Kane quiet.

The Aardvarks clocked up their biggest win of the season when brushing aside the Parrots 6-0. Ady's team blew their title chance over the winter but it all clicked this week with Ander Herrera scoring twice and Phil Jagielka got a goal and a clean too. It's Dean's biggest defeat this season and his last six games now read scored three, conceded 17. The CFJs picked up only their second win this year when crushing San Dimas 4-0. Two excellent goals before the break from Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez set Chris up for the win and my team had nothing to offer in response.

The Artisans recent run of good form continues with another win. Ben's side overcame Final Fantasy this week with all the action coming in the second half. Loic Remy's opener for Ben was cancelled by Yaya Toure but a returning to form Christian Benteke put the Artisans in front and Leighton Baines got the clinching clean. The Manager of the Month award didn't jinx Matthew as his team got their fourth win in a row. Charlie Austin scored another one for Mega Bucks to give him a shout for the Golden Boot but the Cheese Makers got the points through Ki and Mee.
