Trusted kept their title fight alive with a 4-2 win over leaders The Wateringhole. Gabriel Jesus got all four (his first WSFFL hat-trick) for Beef. If my records are correct it's the first hat-trick Kiran’s team have conceded. Stanley followed up their Cup win with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Cheese Makers, James Ward-Prowse getting both goals.

The Wateringhole’s wobble has continued and they’re now four league games without a win after being held 1-1 by Wheel Madrid. Bukayo Saka scored Kiran’s goal, a first-half penalty, but they couldn’t finish of the Wheelmen and Paul’s team snatched a point with a Joel Matip clean. It’s a result that keeps them off the bottom of the table. The CFJs are on a charge and are now just a point off the summit. The Cows saw off the Aardvarks 1-0 this week, Danny Welbeck poked in after two minutes and that’s the way it stayed.

Claymore are third but suffered a defeat to follow up their FA Cup Final loss. Clive’s team took the lead against Cheese Makers through Cristiano Ronaldo on 24 minutes but Andy Robertson headed Mathew level just after the hour. The game came down to clean sheets and Cheese took it with counters from Eric Dier and Matt Targett. Trusted are fourth, three points off the top. Gabriel Jesus scored all four for Beef (again!) but his side were held to a 4-4 draw by San Dimas. My team were 3-2 ahead at half-time, Nuno Tavares opened the scoring but after Jesus had turned the game in Beef’s favour Joelinton scored two put me back in the lead. Two more Jesus goals early in the second half gave Trusted the advantage before Dan Burn’s clean sheet equaliser was the final score of the game.

Two straight draws for Ben have surely finally knocked him out of the title picture. He finished with a 1-1 draw with the Muppets this week. Mohammed Salisu’s attempted interception a minute before the break ended in his own net to give Ryan’s team the lead and it took a Marc Guehi clean sheet to get the Artisans back on terms. Stanley Athletic’s good week continued with a 6-0 thrashing of Nil Satis. James Ward-Prowse scored twice and Aaron’s team also bagged cleans from Virgil van Dijk, Connor Roberts, Joachim Andersen and Pontus Jansson to move into the top half.

Divock Origi’s late header looked to have given Fred victory over Mega Bucks but Dave’s team hit back to win with cleans from Nathan Ake and Luke Ayling. YTFIB beat Markian 2-1 to ensure a three-way battle for bottom spot. A stunning half-volley from Rodri put Ian ahead but Julian got the win with cleans from Nathan Collins and Charlie Taylor.
