FC Phuket Ready, Set for Top Title Bid

Saturday, February 12, 2011
FC PHUKET gets green for go in its assault on the Division One title tomorrow with the season's first match against Suphanburi FC.

It will be former Thailand veteran Surachai Jirasirichote's first game in charge as manager, and probably introduce some of the many new players who have joined the squad since last season.
