Replay

The Wateringhole Society 3 v 1 San Dimas High School

First defence - Fred's first FA Cup game as holder was successful. Just. Julian had led for much of the game through Peter Crouch but two cleans put Fred in the quarter-final hat.

Fighting on two fronts -  Joint league leaders Claymore and Athletico are still fighting on two fronts. Clive's team edged out FCK2, Aaron Cresswell's clean was the difference, while James Morrison's goal deep in injury time helped Brian past Cheese Makers.

Trying to get back on top - No current managers has lifted more trophies than Ady but it's nearly seven years since his last win. He's one step closer after beating Final Fantasy 4-1 and will be pleased to see Phil Jagielka back on the scoresheet.

Concentrating on the Cup - It hasn't been a happy first half of the season for the Muppets, Trusted and Nil Satis but the Cup brought them all some relief. Kevin de Bruyne's goal was the decider for Ryan against Mega Bucks, Beef turned round a two goal deficit to down the Artisans while Nil Satis easily saw off the Charity Shield winning CFJs with Aaron Ramsey and Bafe Gomis both getting late goals.

Doing it again - One replay to sort out. Three time winners San Dimas were held by The Wateringhole Society. Allan Nyom's clean for Kiran meaning we try again alongside the league matches this week.

In the replay - Joe Hart and Jonas Okore bagged the deciding cleans for Kiran to down the three-time winners and take him into the quarters at the first attempt.
