It’s usually traditional to start with the holders so let’s do that. Especially as it’ll be the only time I’ll mention them this season. San Dimas suffered their first opening round defeat since 2011/12 at the hands of Claymore. Sergio Aguero and Teemu Pukki are building a great partnership and they got a goal each, either side of half-time, in the 2-1 win.
The three teams that are unbeaten in the league all lost. Leaders the Artisans were 2-1 up at Cheese Makers after Mason Mount’s goal six minutes into injury time but Matthew turned it round with cleans from Tyrone Mings and Issa Diop to win 3-2. The Wateringhole Society fell 2-1 to last year’s runners-up Wheel Madrid. Marcus Rashford put Kiran in front with an eighth minute penalty but Callum Wilson’s double was enough to give Paul W the win. That’s eight straight first round exits for the TWS franchise. Trusted were our last unbeaten side but went down 2-1 to Fred. Beef was ahead at the break too after Erik Lamela slid home on 42 minutes. The Gardeners turned it round after the break in a seven minute spell through Moussa Djenepo and then Mo Salah.
The Aardvarks got their first win of the campaign at fellow strugglers YTFIB. Son Heung-Min did the damage for Ady with two goals in the first 23 minutes, the second a superb volley. There’s no such joy for Markian who are still without a win. They went down 4-1 to the Muppets, Sadio Mane put Ryan two up before half-time, Rodri’s first WSFFL goal with two minutes left threw Markian a lifeline but Ryan’s team closed it out with cleans from Alderweireld and Ogbonna.
Athletico Phoenix will have the chance to put their name on the Charity Shield for a third time after being beaten 2-1 at Mega Bucks. P-E Aubameyang got both Bandits goals in the first half for Dave, Brian could only reply through a Harry Maguire clean. Top scorer this week was the CFJ’s Tammy Abraham who scored three or four depending on how you look at it. Abraham put three in the right net but also scored an unlucky own goal in a 4-2 win over Nil Satis.
