Week 9 Results - surprise defeat for Wheel Madrid
The Artisans roll on but there's a surprise defeat for Wheel Madrid.
Claymore Athletic FC 5 v 1 Cheese Makers
Markian United 0 v 2 Aardvark Abacus
Mega Buck Bandits 3 v 1 Trusted By Millions
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum 0 v 4 The Fabulous Artisans
Real Muppets 1 v 1 Fred West Landscape Gardening XI
San Dimas High School 2 v 1 Athletico Phoenix
The Wateringhole Society 2 v 4 The Cow-Faced Juniors
Wheel Madrid 1 v 3 YTFIB
The Artisans continue their great start with an eighth win out of their first nine games. Ciaran Clark headed in to give Ben a 16th minute lead and while Nil Satis held their own for a large chunk of the game Paul S had no answer to the late onslaught from Gerard Deulofeu, Kyle Walker and a Martin Montoya clean. San Dimas are still the closest challengers after a 2-1 win over Athletico. James Ward-Prowse was quickest to a rebound to put Brian ahead but I’d turned it round by half-time courtesy of two John Lundstram goals. Ben Chilwell hit a post late on so my team held on for the points.
Claymore left it late but continued their good run with a big win against Cheese Makers. Sergio Aguero smashed in with 20 minutes to go but Matthew found an equaliser with a superb Andy Robertson header three minutes from time. Could Cheese escape with a point? No. Robert Snodgrass smashed in a volley and cleans from Schmeichel, Egan and Stevens made the final score a lopsided-looking 5-1. The Muppets are fourth but lost ground after a draw with Fred. The Gardeners had their eyes on all three points when Dele Alli put them ahead but Sadio Mane headed Ryan level deep into injury time.
Wheel Madrid gave up a one goal lead to lose to struggling YTFIB. Jamie Vardy had given Wheels the lead, with only two minutes left, but Julian managed to come back with cleans from Ricardo Pereira, Charlie Taylor and Jack O’Connell to pull off the shock win. The CFJs have been a bit goal shy this season (Tammy Abraham excepted) but found three to leapfrog their opponents into the top half. The Cows had led twice, through Abraham and Fabian Balbuena, but Kiran’s team had levelled thanks to the in-form Christian Pulisic and Raul Jimenez. Shane Duffy put Chris and Co ahead for a third time with six minutes left and this time the mighty Society couldn’t respond.
Mega Bucks picked up their first home win of the campaign and added to Trusted’s bad week in the process. P-E Aubameyang and Josh King had Dave two up at the break, and Caglar Soyuncu’s head was exactly in the right place to head in for 3-0 on 57 minutes. Leandro Trossard (by the way has anyone else got a player who’s name is close to their team name?) got Beef’s consolation. Markian can use the Richard Osman/Alexander Armstrong comparison for another week after going down to the Aardvarks 2-0. Clean sheets from Lewis Dunk and Dean Henderson got the job done for Ady’s slowly improving outfit.

Reports
PCMT
Wheel Madrid were beaten in the PCMT Final last year and look to have the taste to go one better this year. Paul’s team swept Fred’s strugglers aside, starting with David Luiz sticking out a leg to turn in after nine minutes. Jamie Vardy scored twice to extend the lead before Mo Salah pulled one back from the spot with 15 minutes left but James Maddison smashed in a free-kick and Vardy completed his hat-trick with an injury time penalty. The Muppets won this two years ago and are on track to regain the trophy after edging out Cheese Makers 2-1. Luka Milivojevic opened the scoring for Ryan just after the half hour with a penalty and Raheem Sterling megged the Cheese keeper 21 seconds after the break to double the lead. Jonny was in the right place to pull one back for Matthew with 17 minutes left but the Muppets held on.
The Aardvarks have been beaten in two of the last three finals and have made the last four again after beating the CFJs. Jamaal Lascelles powered in a header with eight minutes left in the first half and Jordan Henderson made it 2-0 to Ady on 52 minutes. A Daryl Janmaat clean was all the Cows could muster in response. Claymore are one of the league’s form teams and carried that in to the cup seeing off the Bandits 3-0. Youri Tielemens smashed in after 17 minutes and Robert Snodgrass had the freedom of Chippenham Park to make it to just before half-time. A John Stones clean finished the scoring.
Charity Shield
Athletico are one game away from their fourth Charity Shield Final after a 6-1 dismissal of YTFIB. Ben Chilwell opened the scoring on 10 minutes, first to a rebound after a weak save. Ayoze Perez was taking his time to settle at Kingham Park but burst into Brian’s reckoning with a hat-trick. Tim Krul saved two penalties, seven seasons after his last in WSFFL, to make it 6-0 before Ilkay Gundogan scored Julian’s consolation.The Wateringhole were also big winners, Nil Satis the victims. Christian Pulisic broke his WSFFL duck with a ‘perfect’ hat-trick and Marcus Rashford added one in between times before Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled one back for Paul S. Nathan Ake’s clean rounded out Kiran’s 5-1 win.
San Dimas hadn’t played a Charity Shield game since 2011/12 and made a shocking start in this one, conceding a header to Harry Kane to put Markian ahead in 48 seconds. Pascal Gross smashed in a free kick after a quarter of an hour to level it and my team clinched the game in a five minutes spell in the second half. David Silva got the faintest of touches on a cross and Lys Mousset steered in a volley to put me in the semi-final. One replay to sort out. Trusted looked to have got the winner when Lucas Digne steered into his own net deep into injury time but Aaron Ramsdale’s clean was the Artisans’ equaliser.
Replay
Of the teams that have played the Artisans this season only Trusted hadn’t lost, with a draw in the league and in this competition. With ten minutes left the teams still couldn’t be separated but a controversial penalty gave Gerard Deulofeu the chance to put Ben’s team 2-1 up and he made no mistake. Six minutes later Kyle Walker arrived late in the box to make it 3-1 and send the Artisans into the semi-finals.

Week 8 Results - Wins for the top two
The top two getting away a bit, for now.
Aardvark Abacus 1 v 0 Real Muppets
Athletico Phoenix 2 v 0 Mega Buck Bandits
Cheese Makers 3 v 3 Wheel Madrid
Fred West Landscape Gardening XI 2 v 2 The Wateringhole Society
The Cow-Faced Juniors 0 v 2 San Dimas High School
The Fabulous Artisans 2 v 1 Markian United
Trusted By Millions 2 v 2 Claymore Athletic FC
YTFIB 0 v 2 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
The Artisans keep a four point lead despite a late scare against Markian. The bottom-placed team took a shock lead through an excellent Gylfi Sigurdsson strike two minutes into injury time. but couldn’t hold on and went down to clean sheets from Aaron Ramsdale and Lucas Digne. San Dimas are still Ben’s nearest pursuers. My team beat the CFJs 2-0 with first half goals from Lys Mousset (he opened his WSFFL account with a close-range poke) and David Silva (a lovely left-foot volley).
Claymore are third but lost ground on the top two with a 2-2 draw against Trusted. Abdoulaye Doucoure’s early goal for Clive was cancelled out by Gabriel Jesus’s diving header before the break. Youri Tielemans crashed in off the bar with 16 minutes to restore Clive’s lead but Beef hit back to draw through Fikayo Tomori’s clean sheet. Wheels are up to fourth but were held to a 3-3 draw with Cheese Makers. Paul W’s team twice had a two goal advantage. Jamie Vardy and Jack Grealish scored just before the break but Danny Ings pulled one back for Matthew eight minutes into the second half. Adam Lallana restored the advantage five minutes from time when he arrived at the back post to score his first since May 2017 but cleans from Steve Cook and Yerry Mina meant the points were shared.
The Muppets are down to fifth after going down to a one goal defeat to the Aardvarks. Max Aarons' clean was the difference and lifts Ady to the heady heights of 13th. Athletico are a point behind Wheels and the Muppets after beating Mega Bucks 2-0. Chris Wood headed Brian in front and Tim Krul’s clean, putting him on the score sheet for the first time in nearly five years, made it 2-0.
Nil Satis are back in the top half after beating YTFIB 2-0, Bernard twisted and turned like the proverbial twisty, turny thing to score on 17 minutes and Chris Basham got the clean to make the points safe. Wateringhole round out the top half after a 2-2 draw with Fred. Kiran was 2-0 up in this one, Marcus Rashford and Raul Jimenez, from the spot after having two goals disallowed, in five minutes around the hour mark. Dele Alli reduced the deficit with four minutes left (hint of handball?) and Cesar Azpilicueta’s clean was the equaliser for the Gardeners.
