A bad couple of weeks for Trusted who've lost the league leadership, the PCMT Final and now their hold on the FA Cup as Beef’s team went down 3-2 to Stanley Athletic. Even Timo Werner couldn’t miss the chance presented to him on six minutes to put Aaron ahead but Bernardo Silva had a tap-in of his own eight minutes later to level the scores. Joao Pedro lofted a shot over the keeper on 27 minutes to put Stanley back in front only for Gabriel Jesus to take advantage of a defensive blunder a minute later to restore parity. The Stanley winner came from an unlikely source - a clean sheet from Ozan Kabak.
It was also bad news for our two early season Cup winners. PCMT winners Nil Satis went down 4-2 to Markian. Paul S led twice, Demarai Gray’s 21st minute effort cancelled out by Andre Gomes’ downward header 10 minutes later. Nil Satis had one foot in the quarters with five minutes left when Marc Albrighton fired in but Ian was back on terms three minutes later thanks to a Harry Kane shot on the turn and Markian took the win with cleans from Marc Cucurella and Luke Shaw. Charity Shield winners Mega Bucks lost 3-0 at the CFJs. Marcus Forss lashed the Cows ahead, Rayan Ait-Nouri got a half-time clean to double the lead and a Marcal clean sheet made it 3-0.
Three previous winners went out at the first hurdle too. The Aardvarks succumbed 3-0 to the league-leading Wateringhole Society. Callum Hudson-Odoi curled in after 18 minutes, fit-again Harvey Barnes made it two with a first-time shot nine minutes into the second period and Nelson Semedo burst into the Aardvark box to fire high into the net to complete the scoring with 18 minutes left. Cheese Makers beat San Dimas by the same score. Manuel Lanzini poked in after a melee on 34 minutes and Fabinho made it two from the spot a minute before the break. The Brazilian smashed in his second from an angle three minutes into second-half injury time. Fred is the other three-time winner to crash out, 4-1 at Wheel Madrid. Paul W’s team raced into a 3-0 lead. Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring from six yards after 20 minutes and James Maddison made it two five minutes later. A minute after the break Michael Olise cut inside and fired in off the far post to make it 3-0 and though Lucas Moura pulled one back with five minutes left the Wheelmen finished it off with a clean from Raphael Varane.
Which means we only have two previous winners left, Claymore and the Muppets. Clive’s team won the game of the week, 5-3 against the Artisans. Claymore raced into a four-nil lead. A Daniel Podence goal was sandwiched by penalties from Youri Tielemans and Hakim Ziyech and an early Kristoffer Ajer clean had the Swordsmen in control. Roberto Firmino’s clever back heel pulled one back before Podence got his second two minutes later. Cole Palmer’s excellent strike and Jarrod Bowen’s breakaway effort pulled it back to 5-3 but that was the end of the scoring. Real Muppets had it easier at YTFIB. Scott McTominay nodded Ryan’s team in front after eight minutes and Anders Christensen added a header of his own half an hour later. Ilkay Gundogan bent a free-kick round the wall just before the hour to get one back for Julian but Christensen and Ben Johnson had cleans for the Muppets to make it 4-1.
