The CFJs had a chance to clinch the title this week but the Cheese Makers put the party on hold. Glenn Murray put Matthew in front but an unlucky rebound off Kyle Laughton’s face meant it was level at the break. And that was how it stayed. A win would have been enough for Chris and Sons as the Aardvarks fell to the Artisans in the Cup Final warm-up. Andre Lacazette put Ady in front on the quarter hour but Christian Eriksen, just before half time, and Roberto Firmino, right on full time means it’s Ben’s team that have the momentum going into the Final.

The Muppets have still got second place in their sights after beating Wateringhole 2-1. Sadio Mane and Kevin Long scored within the first 10 minutes but Kiran’s team then kept the Muppets at bay until 18 minutes from time when Raheem Sterling notched the winner for Ryan. Fred’s charge up the table has come to a sudden halt and it was defeat for the reigning-for-a-little while-longer champions at Trusted. Beef was two up at the break thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Jose Izquierdo but Fred was back on terms with a quarter of an hour to go, Mo Salah’s clever header soon followed by a goal from Eden Hazard. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who looks like a good prospect, got the winning clean for Beef.

San Dimas are sixth after defeat to Athletico. Chris Wood scored early for Brian and not much else happened. The Phoenix are now level with Markian in the race to be top of the bottom half. Markian held Nil Satis to a goalless draw - was trying to think of something else to say, nope, nothing.

Claymore had been seven without a win before beating YTFIB 3-1. Dusan Tadic’s opener for Clive was soon cancelled out by Ilkay Gundogan’s penalty and it was left to bearded benchman Olivier Giroud to net a brace and deliver the points to Claymore. Wheel Madrid came from two goals down to condemn Mega Bucks to a first defeat in six. Dave was ahead of an early Wilf Zaha brace but Matt Richie and Jamie Vardy scored to level the game and Loris Karius got the winning clean for Paul W who now looks like escaping bottom place this season.
