The Samui United Islanders play their final match of the year at the Island Stadium on Saturday. Tickets are just 60 baht to support the leaders of the Thai League 3 southern group. A large crowd is expected, but rain could also be on the cards.
Supporters from Koh Samui are expected in force this Saturday at the Island Stadium for the Islanders’ final fixture of the calendar year. Tickets are available for just 60 baht, an ideal opportunity to back the local side currently sitting at the top of the Thai League 3 Southern group.
After seven matchdays, Samui United have collected 15 points thanks to five wins and two defeats. Their defensive record is particularly impressive, with only four goals conceded. This solidity at the back is clearly one of the team’s main strengths and largely explains their position at the top, level on points with PSU Surat Thani City.
Up front the Islanders have been quieter, and although a lack of attacking weight was noted in the early weeks, it has not yet been fully addressed. Nevertheless, German striker Vincent Boesen has established himself as the team’s main goalscorer. He scored a hat-trick against FC Yala and the only goal in the win at Chumphon.
At the heart of the project, Mika Chunuonsee plays a central role. The former Thailand international and club vice-president embodies the link between the pitch, the staff and the Koh Samui community. His involvement helps foster team cohesion and the stated ambition of competing for promotion.
This Saturday against Muang Trang United, the Islanders will have the chance to strengthen their position before the winter break. A strong turnout at the Island Stadium could give an extra boost to a side that is already defensively solid and still in contention for the upper reaches of the table. The only question is whether the rain will join the party… Kick-off at 15:30
