2026/27 - PCMT 1st Round Results

Claymore Athletic FC 4 v 1 The Wateringhole Society

Garth Crooks Team of the Week 0 v 3 Trusted By Millions

Markian United 1 v 0 Aardvark Abacus 

Mega Buck Bandits 0 v 0 The Fabulous Artisans 

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum 3 v 3 Real Muppets 

San Dimas High School 1 v 1 The Cow-Faced Juniors

Wheel Madrid 3 v 0 Cheese Makers 

YTFIB 3 v 0 Stanley and Gracie United 

Holders the CFJs will need a replay if their trophy defence is going to progress as they were held 1-1 by San Dimas. Pascal Gross (who had three years with the Saints earlier in his career) hit a perfectly-placed low shot to put the holders ahead after 31 minutes but a Tyrick Mitchell clean sheet squared things up. No current manager has won this more often than Ryan but his Muppets team will need a second go after a 3-3 draw with Nil Satis. Ryan’s team looked in control after Erling Haaland put them 3-1 up with 10 minutes left but Paul S hit back with cleans from Vitali Mykolenko and Jarrad Branthwaite.

While we’re on replays there’s one more to talk about. Mega Bucks and the Artisans played out a goalless draw. Let’s say it was a good 0-0 to make them feel better about it. Wheel Madrid won the trophy in 23/24 and there’s an argument that they’re playing their best fantasy football since then as Paul’s team brushed the Cheese Makers aside 3-0. Enzo Fernandez curled in an early free-kick to get things going, Alexander Isak scored for close range and Emi Buendia produced another worldie.

YTFIB and Markian have both finished as runners-up in the last four seasons and they’re still in with a chance of going one better this time round. Antoine Semenyo has taken his time to get up to speed for YTFIB this season but two hard, low strikes either side of half-time took the game away from SGU and James Justin’s clean completed a 3-0 win. Bottom of the table Markian edged out the Aardvarks 1-0. The only score came on 29 minutes when Ryan Cherki found just enough space to fire in from 15 yards.

The Wateringhole Society were runners-up last season but otherwise have a pretty ropey record. Their 4-1 defeat to Claymore makes it 10 first round exits in 12 seasons. Clive’s team had late goals from Igor Thiago and Matheus Cunha plus Kayode and Muharemovic cleans to thank for his win. Trusted also don't have a great record in this competition, they’ve won it just the once - and that was 20 years ago and they’ve only made one final since. But perhaps a 3-0 win at GC TotW can give Beef some optimism. Joe Willock and Thierno Barry had Trusted two ahead in 11 minutes, Lisandro Martinez scored an own goal to snuff out any chance of a comeback. Brian Brobbey came on for Ollie for the last 16 minutes, wondering what might have been...

The Muppets keep the top spot but lose their hundred percent record after an entertaining 3-3 draw with YTFIB. Julian’s team went ahead thanks to Lewis Miley's unfortunate deflection of a blocked shot and were 2-1 up at the break. Malick Yalcouye fired Ryan level on 51 minutes but Kevin Schade’s second goal five minutes later had YTFIB back in front. Erling Haaland scored a controversial equaliser. You might have read about it. SGU are second and a point behind after a 1-0 win at GC TotW. Aaron fielded his new £122m front line but it was Virgil van Dijk that got the winning clean.

The Aardvarks are third leading a clutch of teams on seven points. Ady’s team nabbed a 3-3 draw with the CFJs thanks to a Micky van de Van clean after the Cows looked to have turned the game round thanks to Jorgen Strand Larsen’s goal on 75 minutes. Claymore are fourth after going down 2-0 at home to Mega Bucks to end their unbeaten run. An early Pau Torres clean was followed by one from Maxime De Cuyper to see Dave safely in mid-table.

San Dimas drop to fifth after losing 3-0 to the Artisans. Ben’s title win last year was built on a rock-solid defence and it was three clean sheets (Calafiori, Guehi and Kerkez) that got the job done this week. Wheel Madrid are sandwiched between those teams after a 3-0 win at Markian. The last time Paul’s team were in this lofty a position was Week 2 in the 23/24 season. The action came late with a first WSFFL goal from Alysson followed by a clean and a goal of the season contender from Lewis Dunk.

Cheese Makers xC* had shown that they were a bit unlucky not to pick up a win before this week and they got off the mark against Nil Satis. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s first half goal for Paul S was cancelled by David Raya’s penalty save and August POTM Joao Pedro got Matthew’s winner. Similar could be said for the Wateringhole Society who picked up their first points with a win over Trusted. Liam Delap looked to be adding to Kiran’s poor start with his goal straight after the break but injury time strikes from Zian Flemming and Bukayo Saka from the spot were followed by cleans from Ruben Dias and Ezri Konsa to give the score a one-sided look.

*Expected Counters. No questions please, I just made this up.

Another win for the Muppets, another goal for Erling Haaland. He got the first in a 3-0 win over the CFJs that preserves Ryan’s 100% record, Josh King scored the second. San Dimas are second following their 3-1 win at Trusted. Kai Havertz fired in at the near post to open the scoring with Tyrick Mitchell adding an unlikely brace.

Claymore are the third of our three unbeaten teams after a 1-1 draw at the Artisans. A revitalised Martin Odegaard put Ben ahead five minutes after the break, Clive’s equaliser was a Daniel Munoz clean. SGU picked up a rare six clean sheet performance in a 6-1 win over Nil Satis. We wondered ion this was SGU’s biggest win but Aaron beat the same opponents 6-0 in the 21/22 season.

The Aardvarks went one better beating Markian 7-1. Morgan Rogers, Marcus Tavernier and Jayden Bogle all scored in the first 15 minutes to get Ady’s team bouncing back from their Week 2 defeat to the leaders. YTFIB head up the teams on four points after their 1-1 draw at Cheese Makers. Matthew is still searching for his first win of the campaign.

A 3-2 win over The Wateringhole Society sees Wheel Madrid in the rarefied heights of the top half. Alexander Isak smashed in two goals in the first nine minutes and a Malick Thiaw own goal put the game out of Kiran’s reach. The Society are our one remaining pointless team. After a great win last week GC TotW came back down to earth, losing 2-0 at Mega Bucks. Enzo Le Fee’s penalty and an Alisson clean gave Dave his first points of the season.

Erling Haaland’s goal drought didn’t last into a second week. He got two in the Muppets 4-0 win over the Aardvarks that takes them top. Claymore are the only other team with six points. Clive was a little sucker in a 2-1 win over Beef with a Donnarumma own goal and an early clean from Bobby Thomas to thank.

San Dimas are third but were held 1-1 by Wheel Madrid. Alexander Isak’s goal on the hour for Paul W soon levelled by Anthony Elanga. There’s only one other unbeaten team, the CFJs. They had a ding-dong 3-3 draw with Cheese Makers, Joao Pedro scoring for both teams and Matthew rescuing a point with a Dan Ballard clean.

Big winners of the week were GC TotW who took out the champions 5-0. The Artisans had no answer to Bruno Fernandes who hit the first hat-trick of the season. Nil Satis were comfortable 3-0 winners over Mega Bucks who drop to the bottom. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dan Ndoye were on target for Paul S.

SGU picked up their first three points courtesy of a 2-1 win over YTFIB. A goal from Pedro Neto and a clean from Semi Ajayi seeing Aaron home. Markian also got a first win, 2-1 over the Wateringhole Society to leave’s Kiran’s team still pointless. Ian’s goals from the twinkletoed Ryan Cherki.
