Festive Friendly Football Fun at the PAT This Saturday

Port have announced their latest pre-season friendly, at home to T2 side PTT Rayong on Saturday 23 December at 17:00. Rayong narrowly missed out on promotion to T1 last season finishing 5th, and so should provide a bit more of a test than Tonburi and Chonburi Reserves. They also have possibly the most amusingly-named goalkeeper in Thai football in Bandit Suksa.

For Port fans, the game is a good excuse to gather for a few pre-Christmas Leos (Santa hats obligatory) and hopefully see new signing Dragan Boskovic make his first appearance as a Port player – what better way to celebrate the festive season than by waiting in expectation to catch a glimpse of a large bearded man?
