UPDATE: PIALA DATUK BANDAR 2012

Our Team Kickalob K14 started off this year's campaign with a 0-1 loss to MBKS.  This was a game which we controlled but could not convert the chances that came our way.  We played hard and intelligently, hit the posts several times and had a few easy goalscoring chances but luck was not on our side.

We defeated Kapaku - Bintang 3-0 in our 2nd game.  In this match, we took our chances well and that's why we managed to collect the 3 points.  It was a match which we had to win in order not let our morale slipped further.

Now we are lying 3rd in the standings behind White Tiger FC (5 points) and MBKS (4 points).  We are up against the pre-tournament favourites Iskfit - SMK Bako on Saturday and then against Duraclean - SMK Bandar Kuching No 2 on Sunday.  Basically, all the teams are equal in strength so it's hard to tell which way these 2 matches are going to go.  The bottom line is that we play to our strengths, contain our weaknesses and win the ball at all times - only that will ensure victory!!

UPDATE: LIGA SAMARAHAN 2012

It was the best game that our Team Kickalob K2015 had played in this season's Liga Samarahan.  The boys can be proud of themselves by drawing 3-3 with Landas 8D, a team consisting of league veterans.  Although the point earned did not change our standing in the league table, it did, however, helped our team to achieve the target set  for this season - to earn 5 points.  

Our last league match will be against Marr SC Akjaemura on 07 July 2012.

EXHIBITION MATCH IN PICHIN

It was pleasant to see that our Team Borneo Cup are on track in our preparations.  This is not because we won the match against Pichin U16 but because our boys played the way they have been trained to play all this while.  Since Borneo Cup 2011, we have not had a proper same-age match to gauge the progress of our players.  Let's continue to improve and not get complacent with this win.  

Never lose track of our mission - Borneo International Football Cup 2012.

UPDATE: BOLA SAMARAHAN 2012

We lost to PULAPOL 1-2 last Sunday.  Same reason - both PULAPOL goals came in the last 15 minutes of each half.  As I have said many times to our players, we are 30-minute team due to lack of fitness.  When our fitness level is low, we lose concentration and focus.  When we lose concentration and focus, we lose the game.  It is as simple as that.  

Anyway, we have 2 matches remaining - against Landas 8D and Marr SC Akjaemura.  We are currently lying 8th in the league table.

PIALA DATUK BANDAR 2012

We will be finalising our K14 squad to participate in the Pertandingan Bola Sepak Remaja Piala Datuk Bandar 2012 which is expected to be helod from 23 June 2012 to 7 July 2012.  This is an annual tournament jointly organised by us and MBKS in conjunction with Kuching Fest. The matches will be held at Jubilee Ground.

Last year, we made it to the semi-finals.  We are always hopeful that we can do better but we must remember that winning is not the primary objective when we participate.  This will also be the stage where our U14s will have to impress us coaches to be roped into our Borneo Cup 2012 squad which will be going to Kota Kinabalu in late September.

EXHIBITION MATCH AT PIALA DATUK RICHARD RIOT

Our Borneo Cup K16 squad have been invited by the organisers of Piala Datuk Richard Riot to play an exhibition match against Serian U16 Selection this Sunday at Kampung Pichin in Serian.  It is an honour to be given this recognition as there are many other U16 teams which they could have invited.  This will be a test for for Borneo Cup squad to see how much they have progressed against a team of the same age.

UPDATE - LIGA SAMARAHAN 2012

We lost to Abadas-10RRD last weekend 1-2.  Nothing to be ashamed of because our team played well considering that our opponents had 6 ex-ATM President Cuppers in their team and we were playing at their home ground.  We started off very well by leading 1-0 at halftime.  But as usual, due to lack of fitness, we caved in in the latter stages of the match. 

Our next match will be against PULAPOL on 26 May 2012 at Kem Muara Tuang,  

UPDATE: LIGA BOLASEPAK SAMARAHAN 2012

We lost 1-2 to Peneroka FC two Saturdays ago and then lost to PBN20 0-4 last Saturday.  Team Kickalob K2015 is currently 6th in the standings.

Our next match is against Abadas-10RRD on Sunday at Tamirat.

NEW TERM 02/2012

Last Sunday marked the 1st session for our Term 02/2012.  It was very encouraging to note that so many new Kickies turned up to join our Academy.  On the other hand, we are currently short of coaches which we are trying very hard to overcome.  It is not easy to find coaches who are truly committed - some may be good players in their heydays but this does not necessarily translate into being a good coach.  Educating children is something which has to be done with passion, belief and perseverance.

Congratulations to the following Kickies who underwent Assessment at the end of Term 01/2012:
GOLDEN KICKIE AWARD

PIALA FA 2012 - MARR SC AKJAEMURA VS TEAM KICKALOB K2015

Our Team Kickalob K2015 last 3-5 to last year's FA Champions Marr SC Akjaemura last weekend.  It was a game which was played in heavy rain making the pitch almost impossible to play on.  Nevertheless, under these circumstances, experience counts and that was what Marr SC Akjaemura had which our players did not.  Despite leading 2-0 after 20 minutes of play, we did not know how to safeguard a lead.  This is part of the learning process which our boys have to learn quickly - both mentally and physically.

Our next league game will be on 01 May 2012 against Peneroka FC at SMK Asajaya No 2 in Tamirat.  Kickoff is at 3:30pm.

UPDATE: BOLA SAMARAHAN 2012

Our Team Kickalob K2015 defeated Kapaku FC 5-0 last weekend. It was our 1st win in Liga Samarahan after coming so close in the last 2 matches. The boys played well and key to the win was that they played to instructions. However, there were a few bad habits which we would need to overcome quickly in order for us to play better and more intelligent football. Nevertheless, the boys worked really hard to win this game despite the wet and soggy pitch. We hope that we can carry this momentum into our next match this Saturday against last season's Piala FA champions Marr SC Akjaemura in the Piala FA. Match kicks off at 3:00pm at PULAPOL.

U10 CHAMPIONS OF PIALA REMAJA AXIS FC 2012

Asyraaf, Acap, Kai, Zul Azmi, Danish, Azim, Irfan Baby, Asfarahan and Azree - these were our players who were Champions in the U10 age group of Piala Remaja Axis FC 2012 two weekends ago. We lost 1 match in the group stages but we beat the same team in the final when we got our tactics right. Our boys played well despite the heat but obviously they have a long way to go to be good footballers. But for now, let us all celebrate this win together. Congrats boys!!

PIALA REMAJA AXIS FC

Our K10 and K12 teams (yeah! yaeh! yeah!) will take part in Piala Remaja Axis FC this Saturday 24 March 2012 at Padang Perumahan. The carnival-format tournament is expected to kick-off at 8:00am.

Don't know how many teams are taking part but our teams will be there. All we want is for our Kickies to have fun, fun, fun..winning is not a priority!! That is what development is all about.

See you there!!

UPDATE: BOLA SAMARAHAN 2012

We lost to Team Boss 0-1 because we failed to believe in ourselves in the 1st half. This resulted in our players giving our opponents too much respect and giving them space to monkey us around. We played much much much better in the 2nd half and we managed to pin them down in their own half but we were just unlucky not to score.

UPDATE: BOLA SAMARAHAN 2012

Our Team Kickalob K2015 managed to pull off a draw against Serpan Warriors last weekend. However, it was 2 points lost rather than 1 point gained. We lost our shape in the last 15 minutes which enabled our opponents to equalise too easily.

BOLA SAMARAHAN MUSIM 2012

The 2012 season started off last Sunday where Team K2015 played against Marr SC Akjaemura in the Piala Sumbangsih in Asajaya. We lost 0-4 but the scoreline didn't do justice to the performance from our players. Our boys played well enough to win the match but we lacked the match temperament and experience to grab the numerous chances that came our way. Nevertheless, it was a good start to the season and we are confident that we can pull off a few surprises against the other teams

HERE WE GO AGAIN ... TOWARDS OUR DREAM

We will be back with our updates soon. There have been some significant developments in Kickalob. A number of decisions have been made by our Directors pertaining to our operations to ensure that we become more efficient in Kickalob's administration so that obstacles along the way towards achieving our dream can be handled effectively. Soon....................

PIALA RESIDEN SAMARAHAN 2011

Our Team K2015 came out joint 3rd/4th in the recent Piala Residen Samarahan 2011 held in Asajaya on 30 October 2011. In the 1st round played on a round-robin system, we lost to Johan FC 0-1 but we managed to beat the eventual champions Khatulistiwa FC 2-1 to edge out Johan FC on goal difference to make the semi-finals. However, in the semi-finals, we were beaten by KSK Asajaya 0-2. I guess it was expecting too much of our boys to win that match and make the final considering we only had 4 senior players in the squad while the rest were 16 years and below.

Anyway, joint 3rd/4th is a good place to be. It can be seen that our boys are slowly maturing but there are still a few who would need to be spoken to. These are players who have not shown much improvement over the year and if they don't change their attitude, they could drag the team down with them. Overall, I am proud to say that we are on track with our KICKALOB DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE with this team.
