Youths Succumb To Second Consecutive Defeat

25th May 2013

Kamikaze Youths Friendly @ Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary

The Youths faced off against a very familiar team as part of their training preparation Friendly programme. Their opponents for the day were Dboys and it must have been easy for nerves to creep into the minds of the young lad. However, the Youths proved that they were more than up to the task, as they took the game to their opponents and only had poor finishing to blame for their 1-0 defeat.

Right from the onset, the Youths looked to apply  the sleek passing play and inventive movement that their manager has been demanding of them and it looked to pay dividends as they came close on several occasions to take the lead. Nonetheless, it was Dboys who took the lead from a well-worked short corner that caught the keeper by surprise.

Although, the boys went down 1-0, there were several positives for the Youths, as two new players, Hameed and Saai Vinod, who were on trial at the club showed enough potential to convince the management to prepare a deal to tie them up on a long-term deal at the club. The St Gabriel's Secondary talents were unplayable on the pitch and Saai Vinod was unlucky to get a goal as the post denied him a perfect birthday gift.

The Youths also welcomed the return of Praveen, the younger brother of Kamikaze Pioneer Shanmugam, who was back to begin his second stint with the team. The young lad, who left in early 2012 to concentrate on his studies is now back to force his way within the team, and he showed several glimpses of his huge potential.

Team Manager Victor in his post-talk noted, "I know eyebrows are being raised in several camps regarding our recruitment policy. But bringing in bright new talents has always been core of our self-renewal policy. Several senior stalwarts, have all been brought in through our transfer policy. The management is constantly on the lookout for bright young talents, and if we spot a player who fits in with our footballing philosophy, we will go all out to bring him into the fold."

Exciting times beckon ahead for Kamikaze, so get ready for another chapter in the annals of this journey.
