Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy

The PCMT holders are out and I haven’t even had the chance to give him the trophy yet. Wheel Madrid led, then looked to have earned a replay but ultimately went down 3-2 to the CFJs. Chris Wood headed Wheels in front on 27 minutes and it stayed like that until half-time. But not long after. Brennan Johnson converted at the far post to level and the Cows took the lead when Jorgen Strand Larsen placed through the keepers’ legs on 67 minutes. A brilliant James Maddison free-kick looked to have earned Paul another chance but the Cows won it with a Tino Livramento clean.

Mega Bucks are yet to win the PCMT but are through to the last four after edging San Dimas 3-2. Vitaly Janelt’s belter had Dave one up at the break and Evanilson stretched to double the lead on 64 minutes. Josko Gvardiol headed me back into it with eight minutes left. But injury time specialist Jordan Ayew finished off a one-two to make it 3-1. Kyle Walker-Peters’ clean wasn’t enough to get me a replay. Two-time winners Claymore are in the semis after a 2-0 victory over Trusted. Trevoh Chalobah fired in from an angle on the hour, Joao Gomes got his first WSFFL goal to make it 2-0 12 minutes later.

Charity Shield

SGU won the FA Cup in Aaron’s first season and that’s the only knockout trophy available to Ollie in his first campaign after the Garths went down 5-2. Goalless at the interval there was a crazy ten minutes in this one. Bruno Fernandes’ penalty put Ollie ahead. Two minutes later it was 2-0 with a trademark Mohamed Salah cut inside and left foot finish. Three minutes passed and SGU were back in it with Dominic Solanke’s clever lift over the keeper. Three more minutes and the game was level when Ola Aina smashed in from the edge of the D. A minute later Solanke’s second from close range put Aaron in front and cleans from Aina and new signing Jan Bednarek finished things off.

Cheese Makers and The Wateringhole are also looking for their first knockout trophy. Kiran’s team came from a goal down to beat the Aardvarks 2-1. Morgan Rogers converted the easiest chance of the weekend to put Ady ahead, the Society turned it round after the break with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Cody Gakpo goals from range in the space of five second half minutes. Cheese Makers trailed Nil Satis until the end before they turned it round to win 2-1. A stunning volley from Leif Davis put Paul ahead, cleans from Rico Lewis and Nikola Milenkovic were the deciders for Matthew.
