It may have been billed as a football game, and there was some resemblance to the game, but with two to three inches of water in some areas, it was more a water folly.

Players frequently outran the ball, expecting it to bounce the distance, not expecting it to be "dead in the water" a distance away.

Sakon FC had plenty of close calls.  They were playing a lot better than in a previous game.
I'd venture to say, had it not been for the waterlogged field, the score could have been a lot different.

Plenty of slipping and sliding by both teams.
Drinking water had to be replenished as it was frequently used to wash the mud from players faces.

The loss drops Sakon FC to number eleven in the North Eastern league of division 2.
Sakon FC next travels to Udon Thani for a game this Saturday, starting at 4 p.m.
