Let’s finish off week one first. The teams that postponed their opening weekend games had mixed results to say the least.

The Muppets hit the ground running with most of their creative players getting goals in a 5-2 win over the Artisans. De Bruyne, Foden, a stunner from Dennis Praet and two from Mane bode well for the season. Diangana and Bamford replied for the Artisans.

It went less well for Claymore and Fred. Clive’s team sank 1-0 to Wheel Madrid thanks to an Erik Pieters own goal. But that reverse pales into insignificance compared to Fred’s drubbing at the Wateringhole Society. Kiran’s team equalled the WSFFL record margin with a 9-0 win. It’s his biggest win and Fred’s biggest defeat. Ever. Neil Maupay scored twice in the first seven minutes, it was 3-0 at the break and then the sky fell in on the Gardeners with four more Wateringhole goals plus cleans from Konsa and Lamptey.

To week two then. 

Kiran followed up with a 9-2 win over The Artisans. The game seemed perfectly poised at 2-1 after ten minutes, Grady Diangana’s excellent solo effort replying to two from Maupay, and got interesting again at 4-2 five minutes after the break when Patrick Bamford smashed in. A great fee-kick from Matheus Pereira made it 5-2 and Kiran’s team ran away with to after that. Nil Satis are second after a 6-0 drubbing of Evertonian rivals Claymore. Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the way for Paul with a hat-trick and big-money signing Donny van de Beek rounded off the win with a cool finish from the edge of the six-yard box.

Wheel Madrid couldn’t build on their week one win and went down 5-0 to Mega Bucks. Michail Antonio slid in just before the break to open the scoring, Wilf Zaha added two in the last 15 minutes as did Alisson who got a clean and a saved penalty. Five goals weren’t enough for the Muppets to get a second win as they ran into six of the best from the Aardvarks. OK, two-thirds of that came through Son Heung-Min goals but it was a Lewis Dunk clean that made the difference between the sides in the end.

Two wins out of two for the CFJs after a Dan Burn clean delivered the win over the Gardeners. Fred’s team prop up the early table. Cheese Makers added to the title-holders early woes with a 3-0 win to keep Trusted pointless. Danny Ings is clearly still in the goalscoring groove as he got a brace and Matt Targett add a clean for Matthew’s side.

YTFIB found a bit of last season form to beat Stanley Athletic FC 4-1. Julian may have got a bargain in Helder Costa who scored twice. The second of those came in a three minute burst with Bobby Reid and James Justin also scoring to take the game away from Aaron. Emiliano Martinez was the San Dimas’ hero in a 2-1 win against Markian. He notched a saved penalty and a clean either side of a Harry Kane goal for Ian.
