After losing to Cheese Makers in the PCMT last week the Artisans returned to their winning league form against the same opponents. An unmarked Roberto Firmino headed Ben in front on half an hour, an unlucky own goal off Yerry Mina doubled the lead ten minutes later. Matthew’s team couldn’t find a way back and Martin Montoya’s clean was the last word in a 3-0 win. The Wateringhole Society lost their unbeaten league run, going down 5-2 to San Dimas. My team led twice in the first half. David Silva slid in on 52 seconds but Nathan Ake headed level on ten minutes. Parity lasted only two minutes before a deflected Riyad Mahrez free-kick put me ahead again but Harry Wilson made sure the teams were level at the break. With no more goals it was cleans from Lundstram, Cancelo and Schar that put me in second place.

The Muppets are third after a 2-1 win at Mega Bucks. P-E Aubameyang’s free-kick put Dave ahead with six minutes left but Ryan hit back straight away, Kevin de Bruyne blasting into the top corner. James Tarkowski’s clean for the Muppets was the decider. Athletico join the Muppets and TWS on ten points after a 3-1 win at Nil Satis. Chris Wood’s double inside the first 14 minutes gave Brian a strong foothold and even though Andriy Yarmolenko pulled one back for Paul S the advantage was restored by James Ward-Prowse’s second half penalty.

Trusted are a point behind that group and still unbeaten after crushing Markian 6-1 this week. Bernardo Silva and Nicolas Otamendi had Beef two up in 20 minutes but a stumbling Harry Kane pulled one back for the joint managers before the half hour. The home optimism didn’t last long. Silva completed his hat-trick within 15 minutes of the restart, Otamendi and Mee added cleans. Claymore were also 6-1 winners this week with champions Fred on the receiving end. This one had been tight until the late stages. An early Sergio Aguero penalty had been cancelled out by a Nicolas Pepe spot-kick. Aaron Cresswell produced a great free-kick to put Claymore ahead with six minutes left and he, Dubravka, Willems and Stones added cleans.

Wheel Madrid have also put six past Fred this season and they improved to ninth place after seeing off the CFJs 3-0. John McGinn timed his run perfectly to steer in on 20 minutes but it was five minutes from time when the points were sealed, James Maddison firing in from outside the box. There was still time for a calamitous defensive mistake by the CFJs to hand Callum Wilson a third. The Aardvarks knocked YTFIB out of the PCMT last week and denied Julian revenge in the dying seconds of this one. Ricardo Pereira had fired The Yorkies in front on 69 minutes but Ady levelled with practically the last kick of the game when Diogo Jota made no mistake when he found himself unmarked a couple of yards out at the back post.
