Aardvark Abacus 2 v 1 YTFIB
Markian United 2 v 0 The Cow-Faced Juniors
Real Muppets 0 v 1 The Fabulous Artisans
Trusted By Millions 5 v 1 Stanley and Gracie United
Aaron’s hold on the cup ends after a 5-1 defeat at Trusted. Honours were even at the break with Bernardo Silva smashing in from the edge of the D four minutes before the interval only for James Ward-Prowse to level with a trademark free-kick in injury time. Beef’s team edged ahead on 73 minutes with an early clean from Adam Webster then the floodgates opened with cleans from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady off the bench and Gavin Bazunu.
The Aardvarks last won the cup in 2017/18 and booked a place in the semis with victory over YTFIB. It took just five minutes for Ady’s team to take the lead, Olly Watkins firing in from an angle, but Julian’s problems really started on 22 minutes when Nick Pope saw red for handball. Marcus Tavernier thighed in four minutes after half-time to double the Aardvark lead and though Joe Gomez found a late clean in reply it finished 2-1.
No team have been beaten in the final more than the CFJs but they won’t have the chance to repeat that this year after going down 2-0 to Markian. Ian’s team took the lead after 10 minutes through Darwin Nunez who controlled and thumped in after being picked out by a good through-ball. Oleksandr Zinchenko clinched the win just after the hour drilling in low from the edge of the area.
The Artisans are the last team in the final four after edging the Muppets 1-0. The only goal of the game came on 56 minutes in the unlikely shape of Emerson Royal who found space to guide in first time from 15 yards.
