After a two-week absence the Muppets return to the top.
Ryan’s team were goalless at the break with Claymore but Erling Haaland headed in seven minutes after the interval and Calvin Bassey’s clean finished the scoring at 2-0. SGU lost top spot after a rare bad day at the office, going down 3-0 to The Wateringhole Society. Ezri Konsa poked in following a melee to give Kiran the lead on seven minutes, Harvey Barnes swept in a second just before the hour and Jan Paul van Hecke’s clean rounded out the win.
Cheese Makers are third after coming from behind to beat San Dimas. Julio Enciso put my team ahead just before half-time but some fancy Oscar Bobb footwork led to the leveller ten minutes from time and Jeremy Jacquet got Matthew the winning clean. The Aardvarks lost ground with a 1-1 draw at Trusted. Another Marcus Tavernier goal seemed set to deliver Ady the points but Beef got a draw courtesy of Dara O’Shea’s clean.
The Artisans are four points from the top after inflicting just a second defeat on Wheel Madrid this season. A Nicolas Jackson brace either side of an Alexander Isak equaliser had Ben ahead and Milos Kerkez’s clean finished the game 3-1. YTFIB have made an excellent start this season and put five past Nil Satis. Julian’s team didn’t miss the injured Antoine Semenyo and were two up inside 24 minutes thanks to Neco Williams and Ali McBurnie. Paul had no reply and three YTFIB cleans made it 5-0, their first of that scoreline since week 11 in the 2024/25 season.
The brakes have been put on Mega Bucks’ good start with a second straight 3-1 defeat. Markian overcame Dave’s team this week with cleans from Pedro Porro and Fabian Schar proving the difference. A first win for Ollie since August, 2-1 at the CFJs, sees him join those opponents on six points at the foot of the table. A Pascal Gross own goal gave the Garths the opener, Gabriel levelled midway through the second half only for an early Myles Lewis-Skelly clean to give Ollie the winner.
