Two thirds of the way through the season and the Artisans continue to lead the league following a 3-0 win at YTFIB. Three clean sheets got the job done for Ben and they came from Kenny Tete, Lucas Digne and Kyle Walker from the bench. Fred is keeping pace, albeit four points behind, after beating the Muppets by the same score. Lucas Moura struck from eight yards just after the half hour, Pepe’s first of the season came on 52 minutes via a tap-in and an Aaron Wan-Bissaka clean completed the scoring.

The Aardvarks lost ground after only managing a 2-2 draw with San Dimas. Alexandre Lacazette converted a penalty in first half stoppage time and Jamal Lascelles’ near-post header seven minutes into the second period made it 2-0 to Ady. My team struck back late through cleans by Antonio Rudiger and Antonee Robinson. The CFJs are up to fourth after a 3-2 win over Mega Bucks. Gareth Bale got two for Chris and Co but Dave replied each time through Michail Antonio and Ruben Neves. Edouard Mendy’s clean was the winner for the Cows.

Champions Trusted are up to fifth, nine points behind after beating Claymore 3-2. Youri Tielemans and Richarlison swapped early goals to send it in 1-1 at the break. John Stones smart finish after 68 minutes put Clive in front and Beef needed cleans from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Serge Aurier to turn it round and get the win. The Wateringhole drop to sixth following a 3-1 loss to Cheese Makers. Anwar El Ghazi had Matthew ahead on five minutes after springing the Society offside line, Ruben Dias headed in the leveller for Kiran on half an hour. Curtis Jones first WSFFL goal put Matthew ahead three minutes after the break and Cheese went on to make it 4-1 thanks to Tyrone Mings and Tosin cleans.

Stanley Athletic seem to be suffering a bit of second season syndrome and they laboured to a 1-1 draw at Markian. Harry Kane’s deflected shot on 15 minutes looked like it might give Markian their first win since December but Ozan Kabak got Aaron’s equalising clean. Last game on Match of the Day this week was Wheel Madrid’s 1-0 win at Nil Satis, David Luiz stooped to head the only goal of the game six minutes before half-time and that was that to send Paul W home with the points.
