The league leadership elastic band has stretched back in the Artisans favour.

Ben’s team have a four-point advantage after a 2-1 win at Claymore. An emphatic Florian Wirtz finish put the Artisans ahead three minutes before the break, Thierno Barry equalised just before the hour but Diogo Dalot bagged the winning clean for the leaders. Clive’s team have picked up just one win after taking the November MOTM award. #TheCurse

The Wateringhole Society drew at Trusted to fall back in the title race. Cole Palmer’s 76th minute spot kick had Beef ahead, William Saliba’s clean was Kiran’s equaliser.

The Muppets are still hot on the heels of the top two after a revenge win at GC TotW. Ollie’s team downed Ryan’s in the Cup last week and had the champions on the rack again at 2-0 after 71 minutes thanks to Cristian Romero and Brian Brobbey. It took four cleans from the Muppets (James Tarkowski, Jurrien Timber, Reece James and Lewis Hall) to turn the result in Ryan’s favour. The Aardvarks stay fourth but slipped further behind after being held 1-1 by YTFIB. Marcus Tavernier got a first half penalty for Ady, Julian grabbed a point via a Neco Williams clean.

SGU stay fifth after being held 1-1 by San Dimas. Crysencio Summerville’s deflected shot looked to have got me all three points only for Robert Sanchez to get Aaron’s equalising clean. Is the CFJs wobble over? They’re back up to sixth after beating Wheels 2-1. Yeremy Pino’s clever finish put the Cows ahead after half an hour, Callum Wilson bundled in three minutes into injury time to equalise for Paul W but there was still time for Gabriel’s clean to win it for the Cows.

Mega Bucks and Cheese Makers played out a 1-1 draw. Both goals came in the first half. Joao Pedro for Matthew on 26 minutes, Enzo Le Fee for Dave seven minutes later. Clean sheets were the difference in the game between Nil Satis and Markian. Jake O’Brien and Sven Botman were the scorers for Paul S that take him to ninth in the table. Ian has lost six out of his last seven games.
