A change at the top for the fourth straight week with The Wateringhole Society taking the lead again. Previous leaders Trusted went down 2-0 to the Artisans to complete their disappointing week. Alexis Mac Allister got both Ben’s goals, a smart first time finish and a great half volley. It was a comfortable 4-0 win for Kiran over Stanley Athletic to put his team back on the summit. Bukayo Saka cracked in first time from 15 yards to open the scoring just after the half hour and Christian Pulisic rifled into the top of the net in first half injury time. Maxwell Cornet curled a free-kick around the Stanley wall to make it three on 54 minutes and Sergio Reguilon rounded the scoring off with an early clean.

The CFJs pulled themselves to the edge of the race, and damaged Claymore’s chances in the process, with a 4-0 win over those opponents. Dan Burn was unmarked to nod the Cows in front after 21 minutes and Yoan Wissa made it two three minutes before the break with a shot from outside the box. There was no response from Claymore after half time and Odsonne Edouard plus a clean from Ben Davies rounded out the scoreline. After beating the Muppets 3-1 in their rearranged game Nil Satis were two down to Mega Bucks at the break but an Anthony Gordon brace (another one!) levelled the match and a Stuart Dallas strike and Jose Sa clean earned Paul S all three points.

San Dimas are sixth following a 2-1 defeat to the Muppets. Sadio Mane (should he even have been on the pitch?) latched on to a defensive error after nine minutes to open the scoring for Ryan, Ben Johnson made it two with a cheeky half-time clean. My team pulled one back after 57 minutes courtesy of a Riyad Mahrez penalty but that was the end of the scoring. Cheese Makers are back in the top half after surviving a late scare against Markian. All Matthew’s goals came in the first half through Danny Ings and two from Manuel Lanzini, the first of those after some pretty fancy footwork. Markian woke up in the second half injury time with Rodri and Davinson Sanchez both on target but the Cheese held on for the win.

YTFIB picked up their first win since October, 1-0 at the Aardvarks. The goal came late, Dan James header in injury time just too much for Ady’s keeper to stop. Fred edged out Wheel Madrid in their bottom five battle. Some typical Mohamed Salah skill put the Gardeners ahead on 26 minutes and they held on to that until the last minute when Michael Olise’s free-kick drifted straight in. Just as Paul W was celebrating a point Hugo Lloris got the winning clean for Fred.
