Sakon FC can and they did

Sakon FC defeats Udon FC 1-0.
It has to be the upset of the season.  
At game time the Udon Team was #2 in the league, while Sakon occupied 'last place.'

The game was scoreless almost to the end.  Udon had plenty of near misses.
Sakon defense was at it's best.
It looked like the game was ending in a draw, then just moments before the end of the game, the unexpected...




Sakon FC next hosts Sisaket on July 1

Alcohol banned at Udon Stadium


Beer was sold at the entrance to the stadium and had to be consumed outside the stadium.
The reason given was that a fight had broken out during a previous game in Udon, in which alcohol seemed to play a major role.
There was plenty of extra security on hand to prevent a recurrence of disorder.

It was disappointing to have to miss the action just to enjoy a cool one.
The rules were bent slightly: Farang can use paper cup.

On the subject of alcohol...

...there's a totally senseless new rule being enforced in Udon.
Most likely this may have nationwide implications.
Udon restaurants must now observe the same no alcohol sales hours as stores.

You can have a beer with your lunch, but from 2pm to 5pm, you just have to do without.
From the looks of things this applies to restaurants, but not bars.
While large coffee mugs are being served at one restaurant, the bar next door can serve bottles.
Apparently if restaurants purchase liquor licenses, then no problem
Alcohol sales restriction hours were enacted to curb teenage drinking.  I don't see the desired effect.
