A win for Ady and a defeat for Paul S means the Aardvarks are back on top. It took just five minutes for Ady’s team to go ahead against Mega Bucks, Son Heung-Min on target again, and Diogo Jota doubled the lead with a header four minutes before half-time. Matt Lowton’s clean for Dave wasn’t enough to force a point. Nil Satis cruised into a two-nil lead but ended up on the wrong end of a 4-3 defeat to Fred, the result dropping them to third. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is up to ten goals for the season after two in the opening half-hour and it took until the 56th minute for Fred to get on the scoresheet through Bruno Fernandes' penalty. Theo Walcott restored the two goal advantage two minutes later but it was all the Gardeners after that. Giovanni Lo Celso finished off a quick break to pull it back to 3-2 and cleans from Zouma and Wan-Bissaka delivered the win.

Stanley Athletic are ominously up to second after seeing off Claymore 3-1. Clive went ahead on 35 minutes when Abdoulate Doucoure was left unmarked to head home but Aaron turned it round with cleans from Maguire, Masuaku and Lindelof. The CFJs are fifth after coming from two down to grab a 2-2 draw at YTFIB. Bobby Reid (for short) finished a great team move to put Julian ahead on 15 minutes and a great strike from Solly March made it two on 56 minutes. The Cows pulled one back when Tammy Abraham slipped in with 25 minutes left and Vladimir Coufal got the equalising clean.

Wheels saw off Markian 3-0 and are sixth. It was clean sheets all the way from Paul W for a change thanks to Meslier, Matip and Robinson. The Muppets beat the Wateringhole 3-1 to leapfrog Kiran’s team in the table. Sebastian Haller hasn’t really repaid his transfer fee but he smashed in the opener for Ryan from the edge of the box on 56 minutes. Pedro Neto was alert at the far post to level with a quarter of an hour left but cleans from Ogbonna and Tarkowski finished the game in Ryan’s favour.

The Artisans were held 1-1 by bottom-placed Cheese Makers. Jonny Evans headed into his own net on 21 minutes to give Matthew the lead and it took until four minutes from time for Ben to find an equaliser, Roberto Firmino heading in at the right end. Trusted are moving in the right direction after a 4-0 win at San Dimas. All Beef’s counters were cleans - Schlupp, Telles, Mee and Koch getting the job done.
