Last season’s champions held this season’s leaders to a 2-2 draw to close the top of the table up again. Kiran made the perfect start in the fourth minute when January signing Dejan Kulusevski rolled the ball in from the edge of the area and the lead stayed intact until first half injury-time when Bruno Fernandes headed home. Mo Salah raced onto an assist from the Gardeners’ keeper to make it 2-1 to Fred on 67 minutes but a Malang Sarr clean seven minutes later earned the Society a point. Trusted are up to second after shutting out Cheese Makers at Le Stade. Robin Koch’s early clean had Beef in front and the lead was doubled just before the break when Joe Willock hooked in his first of the season. Raphinha slid in the third after the break and a perfect day for Trusted was complete when record signing Luis Diaz got on the scoresheet late on.

Claymore dropped a place after ending up on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller v Stanley. Wout Weghorst’s 16-yard first time strike put Clive ahead but headers from Craig Dawson and Harry Maguire had turned the game in Aaron’s favour before the break. A deflected effort from Milot Rashica and a low Stuart Armstrong shot made it 4-1 within seven minutes of the re-start and though Claymore hit back through Daniel Podence and Hakim Ziyech it wasn’t enough to grab a point. The CFJs beat the Artisans 2-1 to close to within six points. Ben’s team went in front three minutes after half time when Emile Smith Rowe finished off a solo run with a well-placed shot. The Cows were level five minutes later when Rodrigo Moreno’s cross deceived the Artisans keeper and the away side took the points thanks to a Jan Bednarek clean.

The Aardvarks stay sixth after going down 1-0 in the 'Bevan Derby’. Ruben Neves settled this one in Dave’s favour after just nine minutes with a controlled half volley from the edge of the D. San Dimas are seventh, a point behind, after late goals brought me a 2-1 win at YTFIB. Ilkay Gundogan had latched on a keeper error to put Julian ahead are 33 minutes and my team only grabbed an equaliser with two minutes to go when Anthony Elanga found space to place through the keeper’s legs and two minutes into injury time Riyad Mahrez smashed a penalty high into the net for the winner.

The Muppets beat Nil Satis 2-0 with cleans from Andrea Christensen and Ben Johnson to take their opponents place in the top half. Markian beat Wheel Madrid 2-0 to climb off the bottom of the table. A second half Harry Kane brace made it eight without a win in the league for Paul W whose team are getting sucked into the scrap at the wrong end of the table.
