ESPZEN Sunday League Season 20 Division 6
Royals FC vs Kamikaze FC
15/12/2013
3pm Kickoff
Bedok North Secondary
It was that time of the year where the Editor goes off on an end-of-year holiday mode and refuses to do any tedious work while enjoying his long break doing nothing. As such, I apologise for the omission of the match report of the previous ESPZEN league game against Royals. It has been quite a while since that match, and there is no way I can fully recall the details of the match. And that brings us to,
EXPRESS EDITING!
Bedok North is always a bogey ground for KKZ and that streak continued as they went into the half-time level 1-1, despite Victor giving them an early lead as he notched his 7th goal of the campaign with a tap-in after yet another dazzling Safar run.
A rejuvenated KKZ came out of the break looking to fire and they did just that, as Victor turned provider with a well-weighted throughball finding Siva who scored an absolutely delightful chip past the keeper, for the first of his 2 goals. In all honesty, Victor who had a terrible game, somewhat saved his blushes with these 2 notable contributions. But from that moment onwards, it was Anand Spaceship who took over the game by the scruff of the neck as he scored 1 and created 2 to help KKZ end the game 6-1 winners. Gerard and Safar also managed to get onto the scoresheet, with Gerard scoring a beauty of a freekick. This game was also notable as Akbar and Yasin, both made an unexpected return to the squad, and they gave a performance to remember.
Kamikaze now only need 3 more points to capture their maiden ESPZEN title and it will indeed be a special moment for the team. But the team is not getting carried away, as an exclusive interview with Vice-Captain Haravin revealed,
"The next game is as important as the previous 12 games have been. We have a job to do, and we will get the task done. All the talk about the 100 goal target is fun. In fact, it is a good target to have, but we still have a few games to get it done. As for now, the priority has to be sealing the title and that's what we will look forward to. This season, has been alright for the team. It is a job well-done, but the real good news is that we can be even better and that will be what we should be looking at"
With that brilliant words from the Vice-Captain, I will leave you to think about what a 3rd successive title for the team would mean for us in terms of our long-term strategic plans that had been laid in place. This team has come a long way, since the one that came in 4th at the 3rd season of CFL. The task at hand, in terms of the planning, would be to quickly collate our strengths and harness a even more well-aligned squad for the next season.
