Well, listen up to what Wairarapa coach Phil Keinzley told Wairarapa Times-Age today: "He's obviously a special player and we need to keep him under wraps."
Now that may not be such a bad thing because any time a team start channelling their concerted energy on one player it offers opportune moments for the opposition to exploit numerous other avenues.
Keinzley's men play coach Bill Robertson's Rovers in the third round of the national knockout cup match in a 2pm kick off in Napier tomorrow.
After the persistent rain from Thursday, it remains to be seen if Bluewater Stadium, in Park Island, will be deemed fit enough to play on.
The much-anticipated game may be moved, as it was against the Canaries in the league match on June 3, east to Marewa Park.
But last night there were some doubts even on an often reliable Marewa Park No 1 that tends to shred rapidly with the onset of a modicum of saturation these days, which may result in the game played at the Marewa No 2 ground or across the road on an open Park Island field.
The opposition's consternation, despite having won their first league encounter 4-3 here on April 17, is understandable on the account of the 21-year-old's hattrick against the arch rivals.
Conversely Robertson accepts Kilkolly, who may come close to retired club record holder Garry Parker's 37 league goals in a season with six games to go, is in the form of his life but the team aren't reliant on him.
"I'd argue we're not a one-man team because it takes a lot to create those chances for Angus to score," he says but is grateful to have him in his equation rather than having him as an opposition player.
He feels other players can find the net but the Fergus Neil-skippered Blues will have to do better than they did away against league leaders Western Suburbs who kept them scoreless in the 3-0 win a fortnight ago although Kilkolly was serving a match suspension for accruing yellow cards.
However, Wairarapa captain Sam Mason-Smith and his second-placed league outfit returned from facing the Declan Edge-coached Suburbs last weekend, licking their wounds from a 5-1 flogging although, significantly, having found the net.
While the visitors have a fleeting chance of clinching the league crown, assuming they improve dramatically, the hosts are way off course so the hunger to claim cup glory will have a consolation appeal about it.
Wairarapa have scored 42 goals in the league - mostly to Mason-Smith, ex-Wellington Phoenix player Paul Ifill, Ermal Hajdari and Seule Soromon - after 12 games while Rovers have managed 33.
As far as Robertson is concerned, putting up the shutters in a game is equally imperative and his Beefeaters are doing that although both sides have conceded 28 league goals to date.
"A lot of work goes behind the ball to create Angus those opportunities so there are huge contributions from all our players."
Kilkolly and Mason-Smith are Hawke's Bay United teammates but the latter, who tended to score more away than at home, will have his work cut out.
Wairarapa, under Keinzley, gave Rovers heartache when they pipped them 2-1 the 2011 cup final in Palmerston North, something Neil, Stevenson, Robertson and Danny Wilson will still recall vividly.
The Napier campaigners are four-time cup champions, etching their name on the silverware last in 2002.
In their three-match cup history the Blues have succumbed twice although one third-round loss, which gave them no satisfaction in 2013, became a win when Wairarapa fielded an ineligible player, Brian Kaltack.
Robertson says referee Martin Roil, of Napier, will be the last one to declare tomorrow morning which park will be suitable for the cup game.
"There's an issue with Bluewater Stadium and we've met the council about that so obviously there's a drainage problem ... with a lot of surface water on it," he says expecting it'll be touch and go, depending on how the inclement weather pans out in the next two days.
Eight teams from the Central region are left in the road to cup glory.
In other games in the region today, Miramar Rangers play Capital Premier league campaigners Tawa AFC at David Farrington Park from 2pm in the former's first home cup game since 2014.
Western Suburbs should make short work of Petone at the latter's turf in the 3pm kick off while third-placed Central League campaigners Stop Out should show Capital Premier North Wellington why there's a gulf in the competition tiers, at Hutt Park, from 2pm.
