Ady keeps his two point advantage after beating Markian 3-1. The Aardvarks were two up in little more than a quarter of an hour thanks to Declan Rice’s header and Diogo Jota finishing off an intricate team move. Harry Kane’s penalty pulled one back but Lewis Dunk’s clean saw the leaders home. Fred kept the pressure on with a 2-0 victory against Claymore. This was petering out into a goalless draw before Hugo Lloris saved his second penalty of the campaign to put Fred ahead a minute into injury time and Ruben Vinagre quickly clinched the points with a clean.

The Wateringhole Society are back in third following a win over the Muppets. Kiran took the lead when his team worked space for Raul Jimenez to fire in after 18 minutes and the advantage was doubled on 53 through Andreas Pereira’s screamer. Angelo Ogbonna’s clean in reply wasn’t enough for Ryan’s team.  San Dimas are up to fourth thanks to a win at Athletico. Gonzalo Higuain’s smart finish on 20 minutes was his first WSFFL goal for Brian but my team had turned it round by the hour mark. Riyad Mahrez squeezed a shot in at the near post (against his former club) and Romelu Lukaku notched soon afterwards. James Ward-Prowse added another excellent free-kick to his highlight reel to get Brian back on terms but Lukaku’s first time finish two minutes from time put me back in front and Willy Boly closed it out with a clean sheet.

Nil Satis will miss Aaron Ransey when the midfielder moves on at the end of the season. He put Paul S in front against the CFJs after running clear and rounding the keeper after 16 minutes. Paul Pogba had a chance to wrap it up from the spot deep into injury time but missed so it was good for Paul that Seamus Coleman got the clean to make it 2-0. Chris and Co’s title defence has;t been much of a defence. At le Stade Fromage Troy Deeney’s early flick header came close to giving Matthew the win against the Artisans but Ben’s team grabbed a share of the points with Bernardo’s clean sheet.

After an awful February (three defeats, one goal for, 16 conceded) Julian was looking for his YTFIB team to provide a reaction against Wheel Madrid. Phil Bardsley shinning one into his own net after 15 minutes probably wasn’t the reaction he was looking for. Jorginho made it two for Paul W with an excellent finish from just outside the area and Jamie Vardy got a Jamie Vardy goal to make it 3-0 with 15 minutes left. Florin Andone headed in for YTFIB to reduce the lead but Wheels had a 4-1 win thanks to Joel Matip’s clean.  Mega Bucks blew the chance to get into the top half by losing to Trusted. Dave was 1-0 up when Mark Noble converted his second penalty of the season. Perhaps Noble should have taken the penalty in second half injury time. P-E Aubameyang did, missed and Beef swept up the points with cleans from Coady and Otamendi.
