The Aardvarks will be top of the WSFFL Christmas tree this year. Have they been nice and go on to win the league or have they been naughty and will they… not go on to win the league. I’ve stretched this metaphor too far I fancy. Ady’s team beat YTFIB 3-0 this week. Richarlison’s glancing header in first half injury time broke the deadlock but Julian made him wait for the clinching cleans from Axel Disasi and Ben White. The Artisans are one behind on goal difference after his team beat Wheel Madrid 3-1. 17-year-old Lewis Miley got his first WSFFL goal to open the scoring, Jarrod Bowen’s run and shot doubled the lead before Michael Olise pulled one back from the spot for Paul. It wasn’t the start of a fightback, Kostas Tsimikas’ clean made it 3-1 to Ben’s team.

Markian fell back after being held 2-2 by San Dimas. The first goal came eight minutes from time when Dan Burn bundled my team ahead from close in. It was 2-0 five minutes later with Kai Havertz having time and space to fire in. Ian grabbed his point with cleans from Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro. An unlucky SGU stay fourth after a 2-0 defeat at Cheese Makers. The ball dropped perfectly for Rico Lewis to smash Matthew’s team ahead on 54 minutes and after Ben Mee’s sending off for Aaron it was Nayef Aguerd that got the Cheese clean to finish the scoring.

The CFJs are up to fifth after thrashing the Muppets 6-0. One eye on the PCMT Final for Ryan’s players perhaps. Mohamed Kudus scored twice in ten first half minutes for the Cows, Miguel Almiron made it three just after the hour and cleans from Gabriel, Tino Livramento and Vladimir Coufal piled on the pain for the Muppets who drop to 11th. The only one of our early season cup finalists to win were Trusted who demolished Claymore 6-1. Clive had gone ahead when Amadou Onana towered over the Trusted defence to head in. The lead only lasted six minutes before Michael Keane followed up his own shot to level. Quick-fire second half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer took the game away from Claymore who added cleans from Keane, Lukasz Fabianski and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Clive’s team not helped by Raul Jimenez’s early red card for his 1982 Harald Schumacher re-enactment.

The Wateringhole Society are seventh, seven points off the top after beating Mega Bucks 2-0. Dejan Kulusevski hammered in at the near post to open the scoring on 65 minutes and William Saliba’s clean made it 2-0. Fred added to Nil Satis’ league woes with a 4-0 win at St Domingo’s. Jack Grealish’s first time finish on 24 minutes put him one up and the Gardeners cruised to three more cleans, Benoit Badiashile, Ibrahima Konate and Cristian Romero the men responsible.
