A win for Ady and a defeat for Paul S means the Aardvarks are back on top. It took just five minutes for Ady’s team to go ahead against Mega Bucks, Son Heung-Min on target again, and Diogo Jota doubled the lead with a header four minutes before half-time. Matt Lowton’s clean for Dave wasn’t enough to force a point. Nil Satis cruised into a two-nil lead but ended up on the wrong end of a 4-3 defeat to Fred, the result dropping them to third. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is up to ten goals for the season after two in the opening half-hour and it took until the 56th minute for Fred to get on the scoresheet through Bruno Fernandes' penalty. Theo Walcott restored the two goal advantage two minutes later but it was all the Gardeners after that. Giovanni Lo Celso finished off a quick break to pull it back to 3-2 and cleans from Zouma and Wan-Bissaka delivered the win.

Stanley Athletic are ominously up to second after seeing off Claymore 3-1. Clive went ahead on 35 minutes when Abdoulate Doucoure was left unmarked to head home but Aaron turned it round with cleans from Maguire, Masuaku and Lindelof. The CFJs are fifth after coming from two down to grab a 2-2 draw at YTFIB. Bobby Reid (for short) finished a great team move to put Julian ahead on 15 minutes and a great strike from Solly March made it two on 56 minutes. The Cows pulled one back when Tammy Abraham slipped in with 25 minutes left and Vladimir Coufal got the equalising clean.

Wheels saw off Markian 3-0 and are sixth. It was clean sheets all the way from Paul W for a change thanks to Meslier, Matip and Robinson. The Muppets beat the Wateringhole 3-1 to leapfrog Kiran’s team in the table. Sebastian Haller hasn’t really repaid his transfer fee but he smashed in the opener for Ryan from the edge of the box on 56 minutes. Pedro Neto was alert at the far post to level with a quarter of an hour left but cleans from Ogbonna and Tarkowski finished the game in Ryan’s favour.

The Artisans were held 1-1 by bottom-placed Cheese Makers. Jonny Evans headed into his own net on 21 minutes to give Matthew the lead and it took until four minutes from time for Ben to find an equaliser, Roberto Firmino heading in at the right end. Trusted are moving in the right direction after a 4-0 win at San Dimas. All Beef’s counters were cleans - Schlupp, Telles, Mee and Koch getting the job done.

Nil Satis stay league leaders into the international break. Paul S’ team saw off the Muppets 2-1 this week. Bernard getting a rare goal on 19 minutes, firing in from the edge of the box, and Rui Patricio’s penalty save doubled the lead 20 minutes later. Ryan’s reply came from James Tarkowski’s clean but it wasn’t enough. After a setback last week the Aardvarks returned to their early season form with a 2-1 win at Claymore. Two goals from Ollie Watkins in the space of four second-half minutes set Ady up for the win and Clive could only find a Matty Cash clean in response.

Stanley are up to third after putting five past Wheel Madrid where it seems to be feast or famine this season. Paul W’s team has scored four or more three times and conceded four or more four times. It was a conceding week.Wheels took the lead too, Jamie Vardy from the penalty spot after 15 minutes, but the striker missed a second spot-kick after Ben Chilwell had levelled at the far post for Aaron. Wheels did go 2-1 up with 13 minutes left with a flick header from Thiago Silva but it was all Stanley after that. Timo Werner slammed in on 80 minutes, Stuart Armstrong made it 3-2 two minutes later and Alex McCarthy and Arthur Masuaku added clean sheets. The CFJs followed up their 7-2 wn last week by beating a toothless San Dimas 5-0. A brilliant free-kick from Eberechi Eze on 22 minutes was soon followed by a scuffed finish from Tammy Abraham.My team held it at two until injury time when Thomas Soucek’s sidefoot effort was soon followed by Edison Cavani’s first WSFFL goal and a Jan Bednarek clean for Chris and Co.

Mega Bucks slipped to fifth after going down 3-0 at home to the Artisans. Patrick Bamford volleyed in after 27 minutes to make up for his earlier effort that was ruled out by a dubious offside call. Ben had to wait until injury time to clinch the points with a penalty save from Lukasz Fabianski and a Jonny Evans clean. Fred’s team are now upwardly mobile and are sixth after a 3-1 win Le Stade de Fromage. Mo Salah scored a 13th minute penalty and the Gardeners were out of sight by the break thanks to a Bruno Fernandes brace. Matt Targett’s clean was only a consolation for Matthew.

The Wateringhole Society lost ground after a 3-1 defeat to YTFIB. A clever David McGoldrick flick after nine minutes put Julian’s team ahead and then Bukayo Saka and Helder Costa swapped unfortunate own goals before half-time. Charlie Taylor’s clean for YTFIB finished the scoring. Trusted By Millions picked up their first win of the campaign after beating Markian 3-2. A great first time strike by Che Adams was quickly cancelled out by Scott Dann’s header but Beef was soon ahead again with an instinctive turn and first time shot from the fit again Gabriel Jesus. That lead lasted until two minutes from time when a deft Harry Kane header equalised for Ian but Beef took the points with an Adam Webster clean.
