Claymore’s serene progress to the title was upset a little bit this week. FCK2 led against Clive’s team inside a minute through Harry Kane’s studs and he added a second a quarter of an hour later. Even Andy Carroll got on the scoresheet when he fired home at the near post on the hour and Kevin and Jon’s side rounded out a 4-0 win. Clive will be relieved as his nearest challengers slipped up again. Athletico led against the Aardvarks through Riyad Mahrez but Robbie Brady equalised five minutes after the break and a Danny Rose clean got Ady the win. He’s only one point off second now.

Fred was also on the wrong end of a four goal beating this week. The Muppets dished it out after falling behind to Jermain Defoe’s goal a minute before the break. Sadio Mane got two and Alex Mitrovic added a late header followed by cleans from Koscielny and Aldeweireld to give Ryan one of his best days in a poor season. The CFJs are chasing a high finish to the season and Graziano Pelle scored his third in two games to give the Howells a late lead. This Final Fantasy side is an upgrade on the early season version and Angel Rangel’s clean grabbed a point for Ceri.

It was a good week for the Artisans and they registered a second big win, 4-0 over Trusted. Christian Eriksen and flukey Federico Fernandez on target again would you believe? San Dimas lost ground following a draw with Mega Bucks. Philippe Coutinho scored one of his trademark long-rangers on 17 minutes and I needed a Simon Mignolet saved penalty to get a point.

Cheese Makers are still pushing for their first top half finish. A great strike from Manuel Lanzini in the first half and a scruffy one from Troy Deeney four minutes from time were enough to beat YTFIB. The Wateringhole Society’s hopes of a top half spot are fading after a 1-1 draw against Nil Satis. A great run and finish from Marcus Rashford cancelled out by a Danny Simpson clean.

Claymore now eleven points clear after Dimitri Payet’s exquisite free-kick and a Gael Clichy clean beat Mega Bucks. A surprise defeat for Fred at Nil Satis, two clean sheets for Paul and Dan, sees his challenge falter.

A late Anthony Martial goal isn’t enough for Athletico against Final Fantasy who equalise with a John Ruddy clean. The Aardvarks are up to fourth after Odion Ighalo ends his goal drought to set up victory over the Muppets.

The CFJs are fifth after coming out on top against FCK2. Grazing Pelle’s early brace was levelled by the same from Harry Kane but Gylfi Sigurdsson’s latest strike led Chris and co to the win. Steve Cook’s late header for Cheese Makers was cancelled through a Funs Mori clean by Trusted.

YTFIb get a rare win. Shine Okazaki’s overhead for the Wateringhole Society overturned by Marco Arnautovic and Christian Fuchs. San Dimas versus the Artisans was postponed due to an outbreak of CHICKENpox at the Goddard Park club.
