PCMT

Claymore beat the CFJs in the league last week and that seems to have only served to have wound the Cows up. Chris and Co. didn’t get an instant reaction, they fell behind to a Matheus Cunha goal, but were 2-1 up at the break. Some sort of kung fu half-volley from Eberi Eze was soon followed by a Jorgen Strand Larsen penalty. An Igor Thiago spot-kick on the hour equalised for Clive but a brilliant Danny Welbeck free-kick gave the CFJs a lead they didn’t relinquish with Gabriel and Alex Jimenez adding cleans in a 5-2 win.

The Muppets have won the PCMT four times, the most of any manager still in the game, but won’t be adding to that total after losing 3-2 to the Aardvarks. Micky van de Ven scored two first-half headers either side of Marcus Tavernier’s long-ranger and Wilson Isidor getting one back for Ryan. The only second half score was Chemsdine Talbi perfectly placing a shot to bring it back to 3-2 but Ady’s team held on.

The Wateringhole Society need this trophy to complete the set and they’ll be in the semi-final draw (for the first time) after beating YTFIB 3-1. Kevin Schade put Julian ahead just before the break but an early William Saliba clean levelled matters. There were also cleans from Gugliemo Vicario and Ezri Konsa at the end to send Kiran through. Trusted beat San Dimas 1-0, the only goal being a long-distance effort from Eli Kroupi.

Charity Shield

The league-leading Artisans didn’t bring that form to their game with Mega Bucks, going down 2-0. Dango Ouattara hooked in after five minutes for Dave, Bruno Guimaraes followed up to settle it in the last minute. SGU beat Nil Satis 1-0 thanks to a first half injury time header from Marshall Munetsi. 

Cheese Makers recovered from going 1-0 down to Markian to win 3-1. Joe Rodon headed Ian ahead after 15 minutes but a deflected Casemiro shot drew the sides level before the break. A Bryan Mbeumo brace after the interval sent Matthew through. GC TotW and Wheel Madrid will need a replay after a 1-1 draw. Ollie was close to a semi-final place when Mohamed Salah smashed him in front with two minutes left only for Djed Spence’s clean to give Wheels a second chance.

I think we have to start with Trusted (sorry Paul). Beef’s win is the biggest victory on record https://wsffl.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-big-list-of-big-scores.html 

Eli Kroupi announced himself with two first half goals, Jean-Philippe Mateta hit a second half hat-trick (and will be disappointed not to have scored more), there was a goal and a clean from Nordi Mukiele and more besides. Can we expect Beef's team to go on the charge from here or is this a false dawn? Away from that the Artisans are now five points clear after beating YTFIB 3-0. Josh Acheampong headed Ben’s team in front just after the break and a clever back heel from Nick Woltemade made it two. Riccardo Calafiori added a clean. It’s a milestone for Ben who has topped the league for a 50th week in his managerial career.

The CFJs are still second but lost ground after a 3-2 defeat to Claymore. Two Danny Welbeck goals, either side of an Igor Thiago strike for Clive, had the Cows ahead with six minutes left. Cleans from Michael Kayode and Quilindschy Hartman turned things round and sent Claymore away with the points. The Muppets are up to third after strolling to a 5-0 win over Mega Bucks. All the goals came in the second half. Erling Haaland scored twice, Reece James (a goal and a clean) and Ryan Christie added the rest of the counters in the last ten minutes.

The Aardvarks are fourth after a 1-0 win at GC TotW. The only goal was a super strike from Morgan Rogers on 37 minutes. The Wateringhole lost ground though after going down 2-1 to SGU. Pedro Neto’s set-piece strike seven minutes after the break put Aaron ahead, Cody Gakpo hit back for Kiran only for Harry Maguire to place a header beyond the Wateringhole keeper with six minutes left.

Markian lost the chance to close in after being held to a goalless draw by San Dimas. That’s all that needs to be said on that game! Cheese Makers hauled themselves off the foot of the table with a 2-1 win at Wheel Madrid. Bryan Mbeumo fired in a second minute opener for Matthew, Emi Buendia hit a brilliant equaliser for Wheels but it was a David Raya clean that jumped the Cheese up to 13th.

We have a change at the top with The Fabulous Artisans taking over following their 3-2 win at Nil Satis. Ben’s team came from two down as well with cleans from Riccardo Calafiori and Matthijs De Ligt either side of an emphatic Nick Woltemade penalty. The CFJs are still unbeaten but lose top spot following a 1-1 draw at the Aardvarks. Mathys Tel scored for Ady. Gabriel’s clean kept the Cows unbeaten.

The Wateringhole Society needed clean sheets to get past YTFIB 4-2. All the action came in the second half, Cody Gakpo and Bukayo Saka added a penalty only for Antoine Semenyo to score twice for Julian and level the match. But not for long. Malick Thiaw and Ruben Dias cleans sent Kiran home with the three points. The Muppets are up to third after a 3-0 win at Cheese Makers. Erling Haaland opened the scoring (his tenth of the season), Iliman Ndiaye added a second half penalty and Jurrien Timber a clean to finish the scoring. The result drops Matthew to the foot of the table.

Another big win for Markian sees them up to fifth. Mega Bucks were seen off 5-2 with Ian’s team having five different scorers. Moises Caicedo scored one of his occasional rockets and Ian will be delighted to see Benjamin Sesko poaching another. San Dimas are seventh after a 1-1 draw with GC TotW. Jack Grealish looked to have won it for Ollie in injury time when he stuck his leg in the way of a clearance but the ever-reliable Dan Burn got my equalising clean. 

Trusted are off the bottom after a 1-1 draw at Claymore. Daniel Munoz looked to have won it for Clive but Estevao slid in at the death to grab Beef a point. SGU and Wheel Madrid played out the first game this season where nothing happened.
