Two managers left with 100% records after week two - Ben and Kiran.

The Artisans took 11 games to win two last year but a dominant win at the CFJs mean they’ve reached that number already. Mason Mount opened his account for Ben after seven minutes and Roberto Firmino added a second 19 minutes from time before the cleans kicked in and made it 4-0. Father leads son on goal difference after the Wateringhole beat Wheels 2-0. Harry Wilson scored his first WSFFL goal early on, the mighty Society repelled all challenges from their opponents and Michael Keane’s clean completed the win and leave Wheels without a point so far.

The third member of the Warr clan is not having the same success. Matthew props up the league after his Cheese Makers lost 2-0 to Trusted. Erik Lamela was left too much space, by defence and keeper, to put Beef ahead, Leandro Trossard added a second after having an earlier effort ruled out. Claymore were the big winners this week, sticking six past San Dimas. Teemu Pukki joined the hat-trick club, his first an excellent volley, and Sergio Aguero got in on the act too. Pukki looked expensive at £25m on auction night but maybe Clive got the price right.

Last week’s leaders, Athletico, slipped up at home to YTFIB. Brian’s team were ahead through Anthony Martial (is he going to step up this season?) but couldn’t finish the job and Julian found an equalising clean through Jack O’Connell. The Bevan derby went to Dave this time, comfortably too. A Josh King penalty on two minutes gave the Bandits the lead but Alexandre Lacazette soon levelled for Ady. A second half stunner from Ruben Neves put Dave ahead for a second time and P-E Aubameyang added a third soon after. (Dave thinks he doesn’t win many of these but you only have to go back to week 22 2016/2017 to find the last one.)

Fred picked up the first win of his title defence, 1-0 against Markian, the only goal a Lucas Moura header from a corner on 56 minutes. The Gardeners are one place behind Nil Satis who won 3-2 at the Muppets. Trailing 2-1 at the break, Paul’s equaliser came courtesy of a Rui Patricio saved penalty and Seamus Coleman’s clean proved to be the winner.
