Approximately three months till the rainy season arrives

Tao Ngoi, some 30 km from Sakon City had solved it's water shortages a few years ago by building a dam in 2012.  There must have been some complaints from downstream. Looks like the dam is being demolished

Cheerleading Competition winners at Technology Industry Rajabhat University

Host Sakon Nakhon FC International Friendly with Sawan


Starting time: What can I say, this is Thailand. 
Game information was posted on Facebook. Starting time 3:30. I arrived half an hour early.  The game got underway at 4:30.   
The parking area was quite crowded.  I quickly concluded that the school had another event, these people were not here for football.

Attendance to the game was sparse. Think the team needs a promoter, better media.



A former Sakon Nakhon footballer appeared to be part of the Savan United Staff

A referee did a pregame inspection of the balls.  He grabbed two of the balls and disappeared.  Apparently to avoid a Deflategate Scandal



Sakon Nakhon missed an early opportunity for a shot from the penalty spot (11 meter).  In the second half Savan scored it's first goal from the penalty spot


There were plenty of near misses and close calls. But a couple did get through. Savan won 2-0. This was another friendly and the loss won't appear on any tally sheet
