Game Reports Season 2007 - 2008

After a great preparation, thank you Seb, Rudi and Jurian, and some interesting friendlies, we were convinced French Kiss was ready to have some fun in first division. In our first game back in division one, we played White Youth, the last team we played 2 years ago. They still remembered, as the referees still remembered our last year’s final game, and especially Superman.

End result: French Kiss – White Youth: 4 - 0

With French Kiss on top of the league, and Philippe Bouquet leading the goalscorerslist, we probably surprised everybody, including the coach. With the Mid-Autumn festival and the National Day holiday close to each other, half of the team was having holidays outside Hong Kong. We still managed to have a great team, and play a good game.

End result: French Kiss – KCC Dragons: 1 - 2

What was supposed to be a nice afternoon out in Happy Valley, actually looked like an early morning game, with coach and players hardly awake at 2PM. Credit to the guys who did not look as if they came straight from the bar, kudos to us others. With a coach barely sober, it took a some time to get organized, and we nearly forgot the starting eleven. Still, by the time the referee was ready, French Kiss was as well.

End result: French Kiss – Club Wanderers: 2 - 1

It is not that I only write reports when we win, but it is more fun of course. Sunday evening, King’s Park, great weather, new shirts and a French Kiss team ready to make its mark. Our friends from KCC, who snatched away OUR title on the last game, looked very much ready as well. Although announced as an easy game by an overconfident coach, we all knew it was going to be a tough one.
A good warm up, a nice picture, and a team ready to rock and roll started with some 10 minutes delay.

End result: Kowloon Cricket Club - French Kiss: 2 - 3

After last week’s win, a hard fought and well deserved one, French Kiss had another battle on this Sunday. Spartans, a team that brought back good memories to the French Kiss anciens, played a good game against 816 last week, and was to be handled with care. A good warm up seemed to get the team ready for action.

End result: French Kiss - Spartans: 5 - 0
