Skyrockets in flight: Phuket's football team celebrates the division title win

Phuket Sparkles, Now for Football's First Division

Thursday, September 9, 2010
PHUKET is up for the Cup! Phuket FC beat Phang Nga 2-1 last night at Surakul Stadium in Phuket City . . . and followed with a ceremony and fireworks to mark its second-division southern premiership.

Next the southern champions and second team Trang play teams from other parts of Thailand to determine the best second division teams in the country.

Last night's game was good to win, but not essential - Phuket had already taken the trophy. And next football season, provided Phuket can fight off the other contenders, first division beckons Phuket.

About 2000 supporters turned out at Surakul Stadium last night, among them the President of the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation, Paiboon Upatising.

The fan base for the team, both among Thais and expats, is expected to grow considerably if Phuket makes first division. More fireworks are anticipated.
