Phuket FC swoops down on Krabi Andaman Eagles
PHUKET: The Islanders advanced to 4th place of the 18-team Yamaha League One (YL1) after downing Krabi FC in a Phang Nga Bay derby match last night in Phuket Town.

The deadlock was broken eight minutes into the second half, with Phuket’s skilled French midfielder, Geoffrey Doumeng beating the keeper with a fantastic strike – his 3rd of the season. The home team doubled their lead 20 minutes later, with Chana Sonwiset, scoring his second of the season.
