Kylie Cup curse continues
17 September 1995, Knockout Cup at Ballards Ash
Chris Graham 4 KMLC 2
The second Kylie season started the same way as the first, with a Cup defeat.
This game did see the first appearance of Mark Watling who would go on to be the club's top scorer in these early seasons. He notched a goal and also picked up the MVP on a dream debut ruined only by the result.
There is a slightly makeshift look to the team with Garratt making an outfield start for the first time (and winning Spoons), a first start (of not many) for Turner and the only appearance, as a sub, for Purdon.
Lunt
Summers, Woolford, M.Warr, Gunning
Smedley, B.Warr, Gould, Garratt
Watling, Turner
Sub: Purdon for B.Warr
Scorers: Watling, own goal
MVP: Watling
Spoons: Garratt
Next match - 8 October 1995 v Rodbourne Cheney WMC at Mannington (Wilts Cup)

KMLC25 - 1990 Stu's end of season report on Peej
Another one that should chronologically fit at the end of the year but I'm squeezing in now.
It's a letter from manager Stu to Peej as an end of season report. We can only imagine it's one of a series he wrote to the team. Do any others survive?
Dear Peej,
Well, what can I say? The goal difference speaks for itself. Not only did our forwards excel in the art of scoring but you excelled in your job as a goal stopper, The Technicoloured Clown made his appearance now and again and we all know he's going to be there sometimes and he certainly provides light relief to the serious attitude on the park.
The pressure must reach breaking point standing there knowing you've got the toughest job on the park and the smallest margin for error. I'm sure the 'lads' will join me in putting my hands together and applauding your outstanding effort and attitude.
Your willingness to learn and take criticism was a tribute to the game and set the high standards we know play under when we pull on those burgundy tops and stretch every sinew and vocal chord. Safe hands!

KMLC25 - The 1990 small-sided season
I realise I should post this at the end of the year but as we'll be in the midst of the Sunday League reports it's probably better if I get it done now.
This is the lowdown on our 1990 five- and six-a-side games from the We Should Be So Lucky magazine written by Stu...
Undeterred by this lack of success, the intrepid young KYLIES made their way outside to embark on a whole new ball game, convinced that it was the indoor scenario that dented their hopes.
The venue was The Oasis, confined to a small caged in area with bogger goals. The KYLIES took to this like ducks to water. Every Monday, PEEJ would ring the Oasis and frantically book a pitch. It was then left to the rest to organize suitable opponents. Who do we play? Well that was easy. Once people knew of THE KYLIES they were queuing in their hordes to have a game. The rapidly maturing KYLIES were delighted to show off their impressive silky skills and put together a very creditable record for their first season.
