The top two clash ended in a 1-1 draw to keep the CFJs four points ahead of Fred. Pablo Sarabia’s measured half-volley put the Cows ahead after 23 minutes and Fred’s equaliser came straight after the break through Gabriel Martinelli. The Wateringhole Society couldn’t take advantage though after being held 1-1 by Claymore. Marcus Rashford’s heavily-deflected effort had Kiran leading for 50 minutes plus but Matty Cash earned Clive a point with a clean.

A new team in fourth this week with Markian occupying that spot following a 4-0 win against YTFIB. Julian held out until 82nd minute when Harry Kane lost his marker from a corner and steered in at the far post. That was soon followed by cleans from Vicente Guaita, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Luke Shaw. The Artisans dropped a place after going down 3-1 at home to Cheese Makers. Casemiro headed in a free-kick to give Matthew’s team the lead at the break and two close range Danny Ings goals in a three minute spell around 70 minutes made it 3-0. Ben’s late reply was a Marc Guehi clean.

Wheel Madrid join the Artisans on 27 points after thumping Nil Satis 5-0. An injured Thiago Silva’s early clean gave Paul W the lead on 19 minutes and there were for more cleans at the end courtesy of Ilian Meslier, Rafa Varane, Joel Matip and Ryan Fredericks. The Aardvarks are a point back after a 2-2 draw with the Muppets. Ryan was two up at the break, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden on target, but Ady hit back for the draw in the second period with an Ollie Watkins penalty and a Declan Rice curler.

Mega Bucks made it successive wins for the first time this season with a 3-0 victory at Stanley and Gracie. The action came late, Michail Antonio breaking the deadlock five minutes from time with a towering back-post header. That was followed by cleans from Alex Moreno and Luke Ayling. Trusted leapfrogged San Dimas with a 3-0 win at those opponents. It was late action here too. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s clean on 71 minutes for Beef opened the scoring and that was followed by Emi Buendia smashing in at the near post and a Robin Koch clean.
