Globex FC 1 Nonthaburi FC 1

Nonthaburi came from behind to snatch a point against a Globlex side that were, in reality, there for the taking.

The first half was another case of “different game, same story” as Eka had more possession and more chances against the meekly supported home side but could not finish the openings. The absence of Sathit - who watched from the stands, presumably injured or suspended - was noticeable..

We were punished for those rued chances after the break when Globlex scored from a cross to produce the first decibel of sound from home fans. It looked to be a worst case scenario for Eka but the goal seemed to light a fuse and before long Korawut leveled with a close-range finish. For the rest of the game Eka looked more dangerous and a low cross from Ryan Reece was millimeters away from the foot of Korawut who could not have missed. Final score 1-1.

Man of the match: Ryan Reece who is finding more space and causing defenders more problems with every game. He also reads the game quickly and has excellent timing on overlaps.


One point from a possible six then, and that is probably the final nail in our promotion push. We can take heart from an improved overall performance in the last few weeks and we must still look to finish as strongly as possible. If we can hold the current squad together and get just two new signings that we really should have made in mid-season: a poacher and a big, hefty target man, then we can look to top the table next season.

(I've never seen the screaming girl at a game before and hopefully won't again)

Nonthaburi 2 Kasebundit FC 1

Ryan Reece and Korawut rounded off a great day for Eka with two well-deserved second-half goals that were enough to finish off a persistent Kasembundit FC.

The first half was essentially "different game, same story" with the home side enjoying the lion's share of possession but not finding the net. However Ryan Reece and Sathit Sriutai were finding holes down both flanks and Reece's perseverance paid off after the break when his forced his way past two challenges to slot home. Kasembundit equalised with a chipped shot over the keeper's head but the lead was restored quickly after a pinpoint cross by Sathit found Korawut who headed home. The visitors refused to give up and the final minutes were a shaky affair, but Eka held out and took the points they deserved. By using the width of the pitch and playing smart diagonal passes, we opened up the opposition and looked dangerous and confident. Man of the match for me was Sathit Sriutai who always looks dangerous and reads the game so well.

After the match, players and fans enjoyed a party at a nearby hotel. Sadly I was unable to attend but everyone involved reported a fun night.

Results elsewhere mean that we're now just four points away from second place and the play-off. What a difference a week makes!
