November 08, 2007: The Roaring Lions still remembering the recent five nil trashing at the
hands of Kicks United practiced all summer changing their attitude and
adding some new pieces to the puzzle in their bid to extract revenge on their arch
rivals. Likewise, Kicks United made a few adjustments to their club, which showed when they destroyed the Albena Lake Hodge Comprehensive
School team ten nil.
However, under a brightly lit blue sky on the lush green grass,
the new look Lions sporting an orange uniform showed up for business. From
the kickoff, midfield generals Kappel Assent ,Tyrone Sunkous Benjamin and
Girdon "Shamshaker" Benjamin displayed a level of skill and communication
reminiscent of the Lions of old.
Both teams played well but the relentless attacks of the Lions soon
weakened the once formidable defense of Kicks United. The first half
ended in a stalemate with both teams scoreless. It wasn't
until midway through the second half, that the tall, lanky Tyrone Benjamin
blasted a long range strike that left Kicks United Keeper pondering what
happened, as the ball reached the back of the net.
Realizing there was no tomorrow Kicks United threw everything they had at
the Lions. However the Lions, with the defense led by Nigel "Niko"Connor and Collin
"Culture" Johnson, were determined not to let sweet revenge
slip away.
The match culminated with the Lions leaving the Den with
1-0 victory.
