News Update: Joy for Jadet, Junk Sails In

Following Saturday’s Futsal triumph, Port’s golden shower of trophies continued this week when the Spherical Supremo himself, Jadet, was presented with the T1 Coach of the Year award after guiding Port to an impressive third-place finish. Not only does the award recognise Jadet’s achievement of being the highest-ranked coach in T1, it also recognises the even more impressive feat of being the first ever coach to last a whole season under the notoriously trigger-happy Madame Pang. Well done Sir Det!

Also, Port have announced another pre-season friendly, against perennial pre-season opponents Samut Sakhon FC, AKA The Proud Junk Ship. They finished 6th in T2 last season so should provide solid opposition to what we expect will be a Port second string. As per usual, KO is 17:00 at the PAT and entrance is free.
