Kiran stayed top then. 

The Wateringhole Society put on a clinic and dismantled Nil Satis 7-1, after falling behind to Andros Townsend’s penalty too. Bukayo Saka equalised five minutes after that goal and a brilliant Maxwell Cornet volley had Kiran in front by the break. Ismail Sarr headed in at the far post to make it three and Neil Maupay’s injury time lob put the icing on the cake. Michael Keane, Nelson Semedo and Ezri Konsa put clean sheets on top of that icing. Trusted are three points behind the leaders after beating the CFJs 2-1. Raphinha opened the scoring on 19 minutes and Gabriel Jesus’ smart shot on the turn doubled the advantage eight minutes after the interval. Yoan Wissa opened his WSFFL account for the Cows but it was only a consolation.

San Dimas are third after the first draw of the season in the league, 0-0 against Cheese Makers. This game looked like it could have gone either way and then didn’t go any way. Claymore are fourth but lost a second game in a row. Clive’s team went down 4-2 to Mega Bucks, Ethan Pinnock and P-E Aubameyang both scored in the 27th minute and Wilf Zaha added a penalty in first half stoppage time to put Dave 3-0 up at the break. Abdoulaye Doucoure pulled one back for Clive before Michail Antonio got the Bandits fourth in the last minute.

Fred also lost his second game of the season, 2-1 to the Muppets. Reece James' early clean was levelled by Mo Salah’s goal but it was a huge deflection off Junior Firpo that proved to be Ryan’s winner - although it wouldn’t have been had Bruno Fernandes not blazed a penalty over. The Artisans are going the right way now and are up tp seventh after beating YTFIB 1-0. Emile Smith Rowe finished off a great team move on 12 minutes and there was no more scoring.

Jamie Vardy got a brace for Wheel Madrid but his goal for the Aardvarks proved crucial. That unlucky flick into his own goal gave the Aardvarks in front and Diego Jota added a header to give Ady a two goal lead. Vardy pulled one back before the break but Son Heung-Min restored the advantage and Vardy’s third of the game wasn’t enough for Paul W to grab a point. Markian picked up their first league win of the season thanks to Luke Shaw going off with a clean after 34 minutes and Stanley Athletic not managing to muster a reply.

A third leader in as many weeks as the Wateringhole Society take over and keep their 100% record. Kiran’s team fell behind to Cheese Makers courtesy of Bryan Mbeumo’s first WSFFL goal but hit back in the second half. Neil Maupay scored a disputed penalty eight minutes after the break, Ismaila Sarr added a brace and Ruben Dias got a clean to make it 4-1. While that was happening Claymore were slipping to a defeat by the Artisans. Two goals in a minute on the half-hour, a great free-kick by Martin Odegaard and a deflected Said Benrahma shot, gave Ben the advantage, Clive was level five minutes later after Teemu Pukki and Cristiano Ronaldo replied. A great strike from Matty Cash on 66 minutes had Claymore in front but the Artisans took the points with cleans from Kyle Walker (who’d earlier had a red card overturned) and Axel Tuanzebe.

Fred are back to winning ways but left it late to win 3-2 against YTFIB. Julian led twice in this one, Allan Saint-Maximin evaded the Gardeners defence to open the scoring just before the break and a Jesse Lingard stunner made it 2-1 with a minute left after Mo Salah had equalised. Fred needed cleans from Cesar Azpilicueta and a first from Ibrahim Donate to avoid the slip-up. The CFJs breezed past Nil Satis who clearly missed the injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin. An excellent Danny Welbeck headed goal five minutes after the interval broke the deadlock and then cleans from Jan Bednarek, Gabriel and a cameo by Max Kilman made it 4-0 to the Cows.

My team are fifth (which is a pleasant surprise) after a 5-0 victory over Markian. Ian was minutes from his first point of the season when Antonio Rudiger made space in the area to shoot home. Then the sky fell in on Markian with Rudiger, Emi Martinez, Joao Cancelo and Kristoffer Ajer all adding cleans. Trusted are the fifth team on nine points after beating the Aardvarks 2-1. Raphinha’s cross eluded everybody to put Beef ahead early on but David De Gea’s injury time penalty save made it 2-0 and held off Ady’s clean from Kieren Tierney. It’s David De Gea’s first penalty save since week six in 2014/15 (which was against the Aardvarks), it’s Ady's fourth straight 2-1 defeat stats fans.

Wheel Madrid head the teams on six points after beating the Muppets 3-1. Sadio Mane gave Ryan the lead just before half time but Wheels was level four minutes after the re-start with a Thiago Silva header. The evergreen Jamie Vardy put the Wheelmen ahead and the win was confirmed with a thumping Leon Bailey effort. Stanley Athletic round out the top half after getting the better of Mega Bucks 1-0. Virgil van Dijk with the only clean for Aaron in this one.
