A first defeat for the Artisans, and at the hands of the new second place team too. After Claymore had taken the lead through an excellently-worked Conor Hourihane free-kick, Ben levelled through Todd Cantwell nine minutes after half-time. Jonny Evans departed with a clean just after the hour to put Clive back in front but the leaders swung the game back in their favour thanks to a first goal from Brandon Williams and then Roberto Firmino. The scoring hadn’t finished though and Claymore had cleans from Kasper Schmeichel and then Aaron Cresswell from the bench to win 4-3 and hold Ben’s lead at five points. One downside for Claymore, Sergio Aguero will miss a few weeks with an injury.
Claymore take second as San Dimas went down, also 4-3, to Cheese Makers. Matthew was two up after 36 minutes through Danny Ings and Amr El Ghazi but I was level seven minutes after the break thanks to Riyad Mahrez and an excellent effort from Lys Mousset. Cheese led again through Steve Cook but an Ashley Barnes penalty gave me another equaliser with eight minutes left. It wasn’t enough for a point, Tyrone Mings got the winning clean for Matthew. Wheel Madrid are fourth after taking the Nationwide derby over Markian 2-1. The joint managers led this until late on after Harry Kane’s opener but a re-taken Jamie Vardy spot-kick levelled the game and Sam Byram got Paul W the winning clean.
Wateringhole join Wheels on 18 points after beating Trusted 2-1. Raul Jimenez and Marcus Rashford were both on target for Kiran (this strike combo has 12 between them this season) and Beef’s reply, a clean from Ben Mee, wasn’t enough. After slow start the Aardvarks are up to sixth. Ady’s team notched up a 3-0 win over a struggling Nil Satis. Alexandre Lacazette scored early, and very late, and Max Aarons rounded things off with a clean. The Muppets and Athletico fought out an entertaining 3-3 draw that leaves the teams either side of half way. A deflected Kevin De Bruyne strike had Ryan 1-0 up at the break and Sadio Mane doubled that lead four minutes into the second period. Chris Wood pulled one back for Brian and James Ward-Prowse levelled after following up his own saved penalty. James Tarkowski put the Muppets ahead for a third time with two minutes left but Ben Chilwell got a clean for the Phoenix to share the points.
The CFJs dropped to eighth after going down 2-0 to Fred. Craig Dawson got a 45 minute clean to put the 15th-placed defending champions ahead and Mason Greenwood slid in his first WSFFL goal with 13 minutes left to make it 2-0. YTFIB are up to the heady heights of ninth after coming from two down to beat Mega Bucks. Michail Antonio and Wilf Zaha both got their first of the season to have two up but Julian’s team had cleans from Bardsley, Pereira and Taylor to make it three wins in a row.
