Claymore Athletic FC 5 v 1 Cheese Makers
Markian United 0 v 2 Aardvark Abacus
Mega Buck Bandits 3 v 1 Trusted By Millions
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum 0 v 4 The Fabulous Artisans
Real Muppets 1 v 1 Fred West Landscape Gardening XI
San Dimas High School 2 v 1 Athletico Phoenix
The Wateringhole Society 2 v 4 The Cow-Faced Juniors
Wheel Madrid 1 v 3 YTFIB
The Artisans continue their great start with an eighth win out of their first nine games. Ciaran Clark headed in to give Ben a 16th minute lead and while Nil Satis held their own for a large chunk of the game Paul S had no answer to the late onslaught from Gerard Deulofeu, Kyle Walker and a Martin Montoya clean. San Dimas are still the closest challengers after a 2-1 win over Athletico. James Ward-Prowse was quickest to a rebound to put Brian ahead but I’d turned it round by half-time courtesy of two John Lundstram goals. Ben Chilwell hit a post late on so my team held on for the points.
Claymore left it late but continued their good run with a big win against Cheese Makers. Sergio Aguero smashed in with 20 minutes to go but Matthew found an equaliser with a superb Andy Robertson header three minutes from time. Could Cheese escape with a point? No. Robert Snodgrass smashed in a volley and cleans from Schmeichel, Egan and Stevens made the final score a lopsided-looking 5-1. The Muppets are fourth but lost ground after a draw with Fred. The Gardeners had their eyes on all three points when Dele Alli put them ahead but Sadio Mane headed Ryan level deep into injury time.
Wheel Madrid gave up a one goal lead to lose to struggling YTFIB. Jamie Vardy had given Wheels the lead, with only two minutes left, but Julian managed to come back with cleans from Ricardo Pereira, Charlie Taylor and Jack O’Connell to pull off the shock win. The CFJs have been a bit goal shy this season (Tammy Abraham excepted) but found three to leapfrog their opponents into the top half. The Cows had led twice, through Abraham and Fabian Balbuena, but Kiran’s team had levelled thanks to the in-form Christian Pulisic and Raul Jimenez. Shane Duffy put Chris and Co ahead for a third time with six minutes left and this time the mighty Society couldn’t respond.
Mega Bucks picked up their first home win of the campaign and added to Trusted’s bad week in the process. P-E Aubameyang and Josh King had Dave two up at the break, and Caglar Soyuncu’s head was exactly in the right place to head in for 3-0 on 57 minutes. Leandro Trossard (by the way has anyone else got a player who’s name is close to their team name?) got Beef’s consolation. Markian can use the Richard Osman/Alexander Armstrong comparison for another week after going down to the Aardvarks 2-0. Clean sheets from Lewis Dunk and Dean Henderson got the job done for Ady’s slowly improving outfit.
