Aardvark Abacus 3 v 0 The Cow-Faced Juniors 

The league leaders saw off struggling Claymore with a hat-trick from Solomon Rondon. Clive’s team led five minutes before the break when Cesc Fabregas found the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Rondon turned the game on its head in 14 second-half minutes. The big Venezuelan doesn’t get as many as perhaps he should but he used his head to perfect effect to put his team into the final for the first time since the 200/01 season.

Fred’s opponents aren’t sorted out yet and the CFJs and the Aardvarks will try again at the weekend. Chris and Co. were ahead on 20 minutes through a deflected Alexis Sanchez free-kick and despite having Phil Jagielka sent off in injury time Danny Rose got at the equalising clean for Ady.

In that replay, Ady’s defence gets him to his first final since the 2009/10 season. Ryan Bertrand skipped through the CFJs defence to fire in on 14 minutes and the lead was doubled on 71 when Dany Rose smashed home. Winston Reid completed the win with a clean.

Nil Satis will play in their first final since the FA Cup of 1995/96 after seeing off Trusted 2-0. Both goals came just before half-time. Seamus Coleman was given too much room to glance home a header on 44 minutes, Paul Pogba prodded home in injury time and Beef’s team couldn’t find a response after the break. Paul will play Ryan who edged out YTFIB. Julian’s team were reduced to 10 men early on thanks to Marko Arnautovic’s horror challenge but took the lead on 88 minutes through Zlatan. So close to the final it was heartbreak thanks to cleans from Gael Clichy and Toby Alderweireld winning the game for Ryan.
