Football Season ends Sunday

Sakon FC will host Surin FC in the final game of the season at 4 pm Sunday.
Win or loose, there will be a season end party at the football restaurant (near MJ Hotel) after the game.

Surin FC is in 6th place in the league while Sakon FC is eleventh.
When the teams last met, Feb 2013, they departed with a 0-0 draw.
A previous game August 2012  Sakon FC triumphs over Surin FC 2-1

In North Eastern Region football, as it stand now, Amnat Charoen will not have a team next season due to lack of funds. With the next season five months in the future, that may change.
