Friendly at Mayflower Primary

KKZ 9 No Namat FC 4 (3-2)

After a cock-up in the scheduling of the original pitch, Yio Chu Kang Secondary, Kamikaze were fortunate to be able to shift to the neighbouring 9-a-side Junior Field for a 9-a-side game against No Namat FC. It seems that everytime Raja starrs in goal for KKZ, we end up playing a 9-a-side game. Hmmmm....

The game started brightly after Jeyraj knocked in 3 goals in 15 minutes to celebrate his bachelor's night. KKZ took a 3-nil lead only to defend disastrously and miss chances to hand No Namat FC a chance to get back into the game, as the half ended 3-2.

With the tie at 3-2, at half time, the 'crowd' inspired Barathi returned a different player to blaze the pitch. Sriram threaded a beautiful through pass through the cramped pitch which found Nayee, sorry Mohawk Nayee, complete with a new hairdo to finish the chance with a deft chip pass the hapless keeper.

Barathi, at right back, determined to get on the score sheet orchestrated a beautiful overlap movement with Bala. After neat one-two with the German, Barathi found the back of the net to bring the score to 5-2.

Haresh, playing at centre back, confidently pushed up his line and confidently conceded one to bring the score to a closer 5-3. Mohawk Vicky (original) was unlucky on numerous occasions to put the score beyond doubt but he struck the post once and narrowly wide in the others. Kalai then tried his luck only for the bar to deny him.

Frustrated, Kalai and Bala then combined with much effect, as after a flowing movement down the left, saw Kalai lay the ball off to Ballack, sorry, Bala and he made no mistake as he sidefooted the ball into the inner post and broke his 'annual goal' duck as he made 2 goals in 2 games. Score 6-3.

Another Schoolboy mistake later, No Namats found their rhythm to bring the score to 6-4. As they were settling down into the game, KKZ countered to let Barathi complete his hat-trick within the space of 5 minutes. With the score at 8-4, no one wanted to settle the tie, but rather get onto the scoresheet of the high-scoring game.

In the final few minutes of the game, KKZ got a freekick on the edge of the box, which Mohawk Vicky (Original) wrestled the greedy Bala over to convert the freekick, and boy did he take the chance. Mohawk frustrated over his luck and his numerous close chances, powerfully blasted the ball into the roof of the net which left everyone gasp in astonishment.
9-4 and thats how it ended.

KAMIKAZE!!

Players: Raja,Jeyraj,Prem,Nayee, Haresh, Achu, Barathi,Bala,Sriram,Mohawk, Seelan, Satish, Kalai, Kavin

Goals: Jeyraj (3), Barathi (3), Old Mohawk Vicky, New Mohawk Vicky (Formerly known as Nayee or Dynamite Dog), Bala

M.O.M: Jeyraj

Barathi could have stolen the limelight for the second week in a row with another wonderful performance which was reflected in his hat-trick, but the limelight belonged to the true hat-trick hero of the day, Jeyraj.
Jeyraj celebrated his bachelor's night with a hat-trick in the space of the first 15 minutes of the game with three well-taken goals which left the keeper with no chance. After a solid game as centre-back, Jeyraj then moved between the posts and kept a clean sheet in the last 10 minutes of the game. And now for the honeymoon....
