Kicks go down fighting

Kicks took on the mighty Famous Brands FC on Friday 28th. Kicks’ fans were again shocked to see only four players showing up for the game, actually only three regular players showed up, Leonardinho, Ponkic and Little Melf who brought in a skinny but supper fast young man that goes by the name K. “This is a suicide mission, Kicks can’t play this game without a substitute, they will lose 25-0” said a concerned fan.

Indeed the game began. Kicks went in this game occupying number 1 spot while Famous Brands were sitting on the number 2 spot. Famous Brands came heavily on Kicks but the defense marshaled by the two Kicks strong men Ponkic and Melf absorbed the pressure and prevented them from beating Leonardinho in the post. K terrified them upfront. As foreseen, fatigue got to Kicks after playing the whole first half without a sub and eventually Brands broke through.

Denverio who was excused for the game, came from his company’s year-end function to watch the game but ended up helping the tired but never give-in Kicks in the 2nd half. Surprisingly, Kicks’ fan Tshepo Mokone ‘West’ also came to play. The Die Hard Kicks gave Famous Brands a tough game, something their coach referred to as a game they will never forget. Kicks scored 6 goals [1 goal through K, and 5 goals through Leonardiho] courtesy of the team’s hard work, unfortunately the Brands scored 5 more goals than Kicks. 11-6 is the final score.

“What a game. Though Kicks lost it, I admire their fighting spirit. I thought it would be worse, a suicide mission but they proved me wrong. They reminded me of the Spartans. A big two thumbs up to my boys…” mentioned a happy Kicks’ fan.
