Express Updating, (The delayed version)

Fast forwarded updates. To the best of my memory.

September 20
Kamikaze vs DBoys (Marsiling Sec 1pm)

Their final league game, due to the fact that Limelights had already withdrawn was marred by controversy, even before the kickoff. The point of contention was Dboyz, including the former Limelights' captain Vijay, in their starting lineup. They argued that it was fine to do so, because Limelights had already withdrawn from the league. But our point was that the league was still ongoing, and it was not right to field an ineligible player, who had already played for another team. In any case, that did not mar a collective bad display from the KKZ who were 1-0 up, only to lose the match 3-1 through a comedy of errors, and unfocused display. A bad end to the league, that was softened by the fact that they will still end up 3rd, and also the fact that Galaticos will eventually end up winning the league. Kudos to Galaticos!

Final score: Kamikaze 1 - Dboyz 3
Goals: Jayraj
MOM: Hariboy

Kamikaze vs Unknown Fc (Punggol Sec 5pm)

Kkz resumed its friendlies immediately after the league ended. Its first friendly saw it take on its opponents at Punggol sec with an understrength team. However Ganesh Vivace made his first appearance for the KKZ team in goal, and gave a fantastic account of himself. Haravin who made a return to the team also played well, and so did Hariboy. KKZ eventually drawed the game having trailed the opponents in a exciting match.

Final score: Kamikaze 3 - Unknown FC 3
Goals: Hari, Barati, Haresh
MOM: Haravin

Kamikaze vs Generous Utd (Ahmad Ibrahim Sec 3pm)

As the league ended, players' indiscipline returned to. The friendlies were viewed with a lax attitude. However, the management does not want to read too much into this, because it was a tough league campaign, and u guys fought admirably, and thus are allowed a bit of indiscretion. However, as the new campaign draws closer, the team would expect your commitment once again. KKZ started this match with just 7 Spartan warriors. Namely: Nesh, Hariboy, Vinnie, Kutti Ganesh, Mohan who made his debut, Havey who made his return and Victor in goal. But i would not be exaggerating if i said that KKZ gave one of its best performance with that lineup. Whoever said, that having not enough players equated to a loss. This team of committed players passed the ball around like there wasn't a problem at all, and went up 2-0 in just 25 mins. The irony was that as the full team started to appear later in the match, the scoreline became more even. But it was a good workout for the Spartan warriors, as they edged the opponents to become winners.

Final score: Kamikaze 5 - Generous Utd 4
Goals: Havey, Vinnie, Mohan (2), Mohawk Vicky
MOM: Mohawk Vicky

Kamikaze vs Cepat FC (Commonwealth Sec 3pm)

Kamikaze went behind very early to a highly intimidating malay team who were not just fast and aggresive but also posssessed lethal long range shots. But what impressed the Editor, was the never say die attitude that this Kamikaze team possessed. Even after going down a goal, KKZ played without fear and continued their own passing game. A very evenly poised match in which everybody played beautiful soccer, but special mention had to be given to Kutti Ganesh, Hariboy, Jraj, Yasin (who scored 2) and the most unexpected of them all, Vinnie. Truly gave a man of the match performance with two assists and his second goal in as many games. Has finally showed glimpses of maturing and KKZ hopes that he doesnt get carried away, but instead keeps his head down, and put in more hard work to fulfil his potential. The match ended in a draw but it didn't really matter as the objectives of the friendly, that was to keep the passing play, and play with the team spirit, were achieved. In any case the editor was also impressed that all the players gathered after the match to have dinner together. After quite some time, there was an atmosphere of TOTAL UNITY, and where it was seen that Kamikaze will withstand the tests of time to remain as ONE team. Always remember, no 1 is bigger than the team. Can't emphasise it more.

Final score: Kamikaze 4 - Cepat FC 4
Goals: Yasin (2), Magen, Vinnie
MOM: Vinnie
