One win, one loss for Sakon Nakhon in the Phu Phan Cup

Sakon lost it's first game against Udon 0-2, but had an astounding recovery during it's second game against Sisaket.  What became obvious from the start was these are not the teams which play in the  Thai Division 2 League North Eastern Region. Of all the players I only recognized one.  Quite noticeably the uniform colors were different. Further evidence that these are not the Northeastern  League teams was the performance by Sisaket.    I couldn't stay for the entire game due to digestive discomforts and had to make a mad dash home. As I left Sakon Nakhon made it's fifth goal, while Sisaket was scoreless. The Sisaket league team finished in second place during the regular league season.

Rain Maybe
