Cup semi-final results

Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy 

Aardvark Abacus 3 v 3 The Wateringhole Society 
Trusted By Millions 0 v 1 The Cow-Faced Juniors 

The Cow-Faced Juniors are through to their third PCMT Final after a fortunate win over Trusted. This one was heading for a replay until a wayward-looking shot screwed in off the foot of Trusted defender Nordi Mukiele. The Cows have won their previous two finals in this competition in 2012/13 and the following season.

The Aardvark/Wateringhole game will need a replay after an entertaining three-all draw. Ollie Watkins scored twice for Ady, John Paul van Hecke also netted two for Kiran whose team looked to have won through when Bukayo Saka’s shot in injury time had just enough behind it to cross the line. Ben White’s clean forced a replay for the Aardvarks.

Charity Shield Semi-Finals

Garth Crooks' Team of the Week 3 v 1 Stanley and Gracie United 
Mega Buck Bandits 1 v 3 Cheese Makers

Three late goals put Ollie into his first WSFFL final. In-form SGU looked in control when Pedro Neto squeezed in at the far post early in the second half, but the game trend round with two Garths goals in a minute. Jack Grealish’s shot from 20 yards deflected in and was soon followed by a brilliant diving header from Cristian Romero. Romero’s half-speed, shinned overhead kick in injury time made the game safe.

There was also a late turnaround from their soon-to-be final opponents, Cheese Makers. Matthew’s team trailed 1-0 to Mega Bucks with five minutes left but they turned it round thanks to an Anthony Gordon penalty plus clean sheets from David Raya and Nikola Milenkovic. Matthew will look to go one batter than his defeat in the final last season.
