PCMT semi-final results

Real Muppets 5 v 1 Cheese Makers
Wheel Madrid 2 v 0 Aardvark Abacus

Ryan will get a chance to retain the trophy later this month after seeing off Cheese Makers 5-1. Scott McTominay is turning from unlikely scorer into one of the Muppets' main men and added two more goals to his season’s tally, his first from 10 yards and then a header with 21 minutes to go after Bryan Mbeumo’s spot-kick had levelled the game for Matthew’s team. Clean sheets for James Tarkowski, Illya Zabarnyi and Calvin Bassey gave the scoreline a one-sided look. Cheese Makers will look to avoid the Muppets in next year’s competition - they went down 7-1 to the Muppets in last year’s quarter-finals.

Wheel Madrid have saved their best performances for this tournament and shocked the Aardvarks 2-0 to make the final for the second time.* A tight encounter, Leon Bailey’s deflected shot put the Wheelmen in front after 74minutes and as Ady’s team pushed for an equaliser Tom Cairney found space to slot home the second with four minutes left.

*Paul’s previous appearance was five years ago - going down 4-2 to San Dimas.
