Halfway through the season and it’s tight at the top. The Aardvarks missed a chance to stretch their lead after the Muppets came back to grab a 2-2 draw. Son and Richarlison got late goals for Ady, cleans from Emerson and Hugo Bueno pegged them back. The Aardvarks do have a point advantage over the Artisans after Ben’s team went down 4-1 at Trusted. Cole Palmer scored twice against his former club in this one, Alexander Isak and Noni Madueke were also on target for Beef.

Claymore are up to third, three points off the top, after a 6-1 thrashing of Markian who drop to fourth. Ian’s team opened the scoring through Rodri but it was all Clive after the break. Most notable scorer here was Craig Dawson who bagged a goal and a clean on his Claymore debut. Former champs the Wateringhole Society are five points off the top after a 5-2 win at YTFIB. Marcus Rashford and Cody Gakpo scored within a minute of each other to put Kiran 3-1 up with 12 minutes left and though Julian hit back with a first WSFFL goal from Alex Scott (not that one) the Society had a couple of cleans to make it safe.

The CFJs and SGU are also on 26 points. The Cows drew 3-3 with Fred after leading 2-0 then trailing 3-2 (two goals from Mohamed Salah before his trip to AFCON). Chris and Co. got their point thanks to a clean from Max Kilman. SGU went down 2-1 to San Dimas. A close range Elijah Adebayo goal with three minutes left had Aaron celebrating but my team turned it round with cleans from Estupinan and Gvardiol.

Cheese Makers are going the right way again after a bad trot in November and December. Julian Alvarez and Curtis Jones getting Matthew’s goals in a 2-0 win over the struggling Mega Bucks who have lost seven out of eight. The battle of the bottom two finished in a 3-3 draw. Cup Final hero Michael Olise with two goals and Leon Bailey put Wheels 3-0 up but the exertions of the PCMT Final (and celebrations) started to tell and Nil Satis pulled one back through Sven Botman and then cleans from Jose Sa and Vitaly Mykolenko to earn the draw.
