Replays

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum 0 v 4 San Dimas High School
YTFIB 4 v 0 Mega Buck Bandits

The Muppets’ hold on the trophy didn’t last very long. Two down to Trusted at the break, a James McAtee hat-trick helped propel Beef into the quarters. The two early-season Cup winners, Wateringhole and Claymore, met and it was Kiran’s team that made it to the next round courtesy of three clean sheets in a 4-1 win.

Big winners of the week were the Artisans who snapped their bad run with a 7-1 win over GC TotW. Braces from Tyler Dibling and Joao Felix set Ben on the road. Ollie’s hopes of a pot in his first season rest on the league now. League leaders the CFJs are fighting on two fronts after beating the Aardvarks 3-2, two early goals keeping the Cows always one step ahead of Ady’s team.

Second in the league Cheese Makers strolled past Wheels 3-0, amazingly with different players scoring penalties in the same minute! Beaten PCMT finalists Markian fancy another cup run by the look of their 5-2 win over SGU. James Justin scored twice for Ian.

Two replays coming up this week. YTFIB (of course) came from 3-1 down to earn another crack at Mega Bucks, while Nil Satis and San Dimas will go again after a two-all draw.
