The Fabulous Artisans 2 v 3 Real Muppets

The top tie of the round the only one to go to a replay. The league leaders and the holders will have to go again this weekend after a 2-2 draw. Gustavo Hamer (for Ben) and Hannibal (for Ryan) both opened their WSFFL accounts in the 73rd minute. Erling Haaland looked to have won the game for the holders four minutes from time but Kenny Tete’s clean earned Ben a replay.

Last year’s runners-up are safely through. If you can’t remember it’s YTFIB who beat Trusted 2-1. A return to form for Nick Pope here with the winning clean.

Kiran has been managing since the summer of 2015 and won the league of course but rather surprisingly this is his first PCMT win. A comfortable one as well with second half goals from Cody Gakpo, Dejan Kulusevski and a clean from William Saliba beating Mega Bucks 3-0.

A late, late show from Cheese Makers gave them a 3-0 win against Fred. Andy Robertson on 85 minutes, Douglas Luiz from the spot deep in injury time and a David Raya clean getting the job done. Matthew has never made it past the quarter-finals - is this his best chance yet?

It’s a fifth straight first round exit for me. Haven’t won a game since I won it in 2018/19. Still at least I get the chance to retain the Charity Shield after Ady did me 2-1. A debut goal from James Ward-Prowse for me overturned by Aardvark cleans from Ben White and Axel Disasi.

The Charity Shield is still missing from Claymore’s honours list but Clive will get another go this season after going down to the CFJs 2-0. Danny Welbeck and Odsonne Edouard netted for the Cows.

There was a debut goal for Nil Satis’ Jeremy Doku but he finished on the losing side to Stanley and Gracie United. Aaron’s team turned it round after the break with a Pascal Gross goal and Kieran Trippier clean to win 2-1.

The never-predictable Wheel Madrid have made the semi-finals of this twice and beat Markian 2-0 to start another cup run. Callum Wilson and the latest goal of the week (90+11!) from Leon Bailey saw Paul’s team home 2-0.

The Muppets inflict Ben’s first defeat of the season. Phil Foden and Erling Haaland had Ryan two up in fourteen minutes, James Tarkowski made it three-nil on 67 minutes and Ben’s clean sheet replies from Marc Guehi and Kyle Walker weren’t enough to force a second replay.
