n the end it was with a whimper rather than a bang but Fred has won his second title in three years with two games to spare.

The Gardeners were behind against YTFIB inside 15 seconds when Naby Keita broke up some over-confident defensive work but Mo Salah scored twice to put Fred’s team in front with seven minutes to go. Julian grabbed a clean through Ricardo Pereira to earn a point and feel pleased with his day’s work. The travelling Fred faithful were already celebrating as they’d heard the result from the Aardvark Abacus Aldi Arena. Ady’s team lost at home to Wheel Madrid to end their title chase. Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy have formed a great strike partnership in recent weeks and it was the Spaniard who opened the scoring on 18 minutes, smashing in a shot from a knockdown into his path. Ady levelled with 13 minutes left courtesy of Diogo Jota but as they pushed for a winner to keep their chances of the Championship alive space appeared for Vardy and he scored twice before Vincent Kompany could reply with a consolation clean.

Athletico are leading the third place race following a 3-0 win over Trusted. Second half goals from distance by James Ward-Prowse and Ryan Babel (an absolute belter) took the fame away from Beef’s side. The Muppets are up to fourth on goal difference after beating Mega Bucks 2-1. To headers from radio Mane had Ryan in control midway through the second half and though Michail Antonio’s chest down and finish reduced the deficit for Dave he couldn’t find an equaliser.

The Wateringhole are level with the Muppets and almost assured of a top half finish after Kiran’s team drew 1-1 with Nil Satis. Raul Jimenez’s header four minutes from half-time had the Society ahead but Marcos Alonso levelled almost straight away following up a keeper spill. The Artisans and San Dimas also finished 1-1. Pascal Gross nodded in to put me ahead with 15 minutes left, Lucas Digne got Ben a point with a clean.

Claymore completed their good week with a 2-0 win over their Cup Final replay victims the CFJs. Youri Tielemans and Sergio Aguero got the goals in remarkably similar circumstances to the Cup Final. Cheese Makers picked up only their third home win of the season, adding to Markian’s woes with a 4-0 win. Juan Mata got his second goal of the season and Shane Long his first inside the opening 12 minutes, then Matthew’s team could take it easy before Issa Diop and Andrew Robertson got the cleans to complete the drubbing.
