A big win for the CFJs over San Dimas and the Aardvarks only picking up a draw against YTFIB means Chris and Co are almost there.

Mike van der Hoorn went off with a half-time clean and Roberto Pereyra doubled the CFJs’ advantage on the hour. Jack Cork picked up his first goal for me in reply but two minutes later Tammy Abraham’s header put the CFJs 3-1 up. Christopher Schindler got another clean to make it 4-1. Ady needed a Phil Jagielka clean to earn a point against YTFIB. The Aardvarks had been in front through Vincent Kompany;s header but Julian turned it round either side of the break thanks to Ilkay Gundogan and Mame Diouf who took a clearance to the face en route to goal.

There was an eleventh draw of the season for the Muppets (Ryan two away from the record now) after they blew a three goal lead against Nil Satis. Jonas Lossl’s unlucky own goal was soon added to by Steve Mountie and Luka Milivojevic’s free-kick (he doesn’t just score penalties you know) on 47 minutes had the Muppets three to the good. Paul Pogba was the unlikely hero for Paul S with a brace and Seamus Coleman, happily returned from injury, got the equalising clean. Fred conceded five for the second week running, this time to the Artisans. Jonjo Shelvey’s opener for Ben had been cancelled out by Cesar Azpilicueta before the break before the Artisans ran away with it in the second half. A brace from Christian Eriksen (yes, two!) and Javier Hernandez got the goals with a Leighton Baines’ clean rounding things off.

In the middle of the table Claymore and Trusted played out a 0-0 draw with nothing of any note happening. Just behind them Cheese Makers and Markian were on the verge of doing the same until Chris Smalling arrived in the Cheese penalty area unmarked to finish off a free-kick with 20 minutes left.

Mega Bucks are five unbeaten after beating the Wateringhole Society 3-0. Record signing P-E Aubameyang was on target again, prodding in on 28 minutes and Wilf Zaha and Josh King added late goals to give Dave all the points. Wheel Madrid moved further away from bottom spot with a win against Athletico. Jamie Vardy broke the deadlock with just seven minutes left and Ragnar Klavan clinched the win for Paul W with a clean.
