Kicks off to a good start

Fabulous Kicks spilt out the first ink into the first page of its Chapter 2 of Kick ‘n Boboza: The Journey Continues, when it took on the ambitious Siemens Soccer A team in the first game of the league. In the absence of coach Sir Little Melf, Mr Firewall Thlaku took over the heavy duty to his shoulders and players gave him the same respect they normally give Sir Liitle Melf.

Kicks took the lead through Leonardinho’s strike 3 minutes into play. Siemens fought back with Young Bullet’s goal to make it 1-1. Then the sensational Ru who was on fire that night restored Kicks lead with 2 successive goals to make it 3-1. Again, determined Young Bullet restored his team’s hope with a goal and made it 3-2. Dumino added more woes to Siemens with an outstanding shot to put Kicks in a comfortable 4-2 lead. The Solid-Rock Pokinic crushed Siemens’ hopes with a burning shot to make it 5-2. Siemens made it 5-3 shortly after.

Leonardinho increased Kicks’ lead to 6-3 with a powerful shot before releasing Kicks’ deadly striker McDinovic from the post. The lethal McDinovic scored 3 successive goals courtesy of brilliant passes from the maestro Denverio. 9-3 was the final score. And Kicks got extra two points for dressing-up in a uniform. “On behalf of the team, I like to thank Kicks’ loyal fans led by Mr Ali Cat and Anthony for their support, Kicks is nothing without them” said the happy caretaker coach Mr Thlaku.

Testing Waters

A friendly game was arranged immediately after Kicks’ victory over Siemens. Kicks were put to a tough test against Basebenzi a team that plays in the same league ranks as Kicks. Basebenzi had just won its league opener 1-0 against the very strong B.A.S.C Shooters side. Basebenzi beat Kicks 8-4 after playing almost a goalless first half. Basebenzi seemed to know exactly what they were doing compared to Kicks. Kicks struggled to get the ball from Basebenzi in various occasions. Kicks should take that game as a reminder that they are in a very tough league.
