It’s traditional to start with the holders so let’s run with that. Claymore and Markian played out a remarkable 3-3 draw and will try again at the weekend. An unlucky deflection off Luke Shaw put Claymore in front after two minutes but a Harry Kane brace had Ian on top after barely a quarter of an hour. It stayed that way until the last five minutes. Davinson Sanchez scored a second Markian own goal to get Clive back on terms and a minute into injury time Ross Barkley’s long-ranger made it 3-2 Claymore. That lead lasted a minute. Jannik Westergaard getting a touch on a shot to make it 3-3. 

Last year’s beaten finalists, the Aardvarks, continued their 100% start to the season with a 1-0 win at Wheel Madrid. Son Heung-Min raced on to a long pass, cut inside and fired in after 45 seconds and after that nothing else happened. Mega Bucks also stay unbeaten this season after a 2-0 win over the CFJs. Wilf Zaha with a penalty after 19 minutes and a Nathan Ake clean doing the damage for Dave.

Stanley Athletic were the big scorers on the day, netting five against Fred. Aaron’s £108m attacking recruits Timo Werner and Kai Havertz both opened their accounts while under-fire Harry Maguire headed in as Stanley raced to a 4-0 lead inside the hour. The Gardeners got it back to 4-3 before recent Stanley signing Kevin Long got a clean to make it safe. The other high-scoring game was between the Wateringhole Society and Real Muppets. Ryan led twice in the first half, Sadio Mane and Raheem Sterling strikes sandwiching Michael Keane’s header but Kiran turned it round in the last 20 minutes. Raul Jimenez’s deflected strike restored parity and Marcus Rashford looked to have won the game for Kian six minutes into injury time. James Tarkowski’s clean for the Muppets forced a replay though.

Cheese Makers and Trusted need a replay after a 1-1 draw. Matthew went ahead through Danny Ings two minutes before the break before Beef replied on 57 with a scrappy Che Adams effort. Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his brilliant scoring run with the only goal in a defeat of San Dimas. It was also 1-0 between YTFIB and the Artisans, Charlie Taylor getting the only clean for Julian meaning Ben gets a chance to defend the Charity Shield.

Replay report

Wins for last year’s top half teams in the replays. Holders Claymore needed two cleans to turn round their game against Markian, and two cleans did the same for the Muppets to get past the Wateringhole Society after Raul Jimenez has levelled with 10 minutes to go. Trusted had a more comfortable win over Cheese Makers. Che Adams with a first half goal followed by cleans from Schlupp and Koch.
