FC Phuket is shaping up well as Division One looms in February

FC Phuket Set for Big Division One Season

Monday, January 24, 2011
FC PHUKET plays Muanthong FC in a serious warm-up on January 25 that will provide a realistic guide to Phuket's chances of success in Thailand's Division One football league this season.

Form so far looks good, with FC Phuket following on its 3-0 crushing of Krabi on Friday with a 2-0 drubbing of Phang Nga on Sunday. And coming up on February 6 there's a match against Trang FC, with the real season beginning on February 13 against Suphanburi FC.

Hopes are high that the Hulks can continue to live out their footballing fairytale, which saw them rise from the bottom to the top of Second Division in a season.

Sunday's warmup raised 53,320 baht to add to more than 40,000 raised at Friday's game to benefit former FC Phuket star Camara Ahmed. The young pro from Ivory Coast suffered an on-field heart attack last season during a match at FC Phuket's Surakul Stadium home ground in Phuket City.

He's recovering after a long stay in hospital and could even head home in March. Tuesday's match will also benefit Camara.

The Hulks meanwhile hope to continue their winning streak to the top of Division One and on to Thailand's Premier League. However, despite the encouraging start, this season may prove to be more of a hard slog than a fairytale.

Sunday's FC Phuket goal scorers were Watcharapong Jannga at the 40-minute mark and Seasit Srisai after 56 minutes.
