Queen City completes lineup for Inter-Club

THE QUEEN City United added two former University of San Jose-Recoletos Jaguars to its lineup for this Cebu Inter-Club Invitational Tournament set on April 28 to May 6 at different football fields in the city.

Queen City, coached by Mario Ceniza signed up Hentjie Ruiz, who played for national champion Bacolod in the 2006 Philippine Football Federation National Men's Open and goalkeeper Jesus Singson Jr.

Queen City, the host club in the tournament, is boosting its lineup to bolster its chances of winning the Men's Open of the Inter-Club and the cool P45,000 winner-take-all purse.

The club has also signed up striker Ronald Loayon, who once scored seven goals for Metropolitan against FC Lapu-Lapu in the Aboitiz League Division B.

Completing the offensive force for Queen City are Eleazar Toledo, formerly of San Roque FC, Dexter Arrojado and Marlon Rey Baring, who also scored five goals for Queen City against FC Lapu-Lapu.

The club has also combined youth with their veterans after Ceniza's former wards at Carmen National School, Martin Bontia, Josapahat Sacil, Ivan Dimco, Jack Reston, Agustin Bardinas and Ronald Mahilum joined the team.

Striker and former Carmen mainstay Junard Aguilar is staying with Hiroshi FC, who are also set to see action in the Inter-Club, its first tournament in Cebu since the aborted semifinal against Crazy Horse in the Thirsty Cup last year.

The other Cebu team in the six-team Men's Open is Hapee, coached by former national team mainstay Glen Ramos, while expected to give the home teams a run for their money are visitors West Negros College and Dumaguete.

"On paper, WNC is the best team and they also have Oliver Colina with them, while I'm not so sure with Dumaguete since I don't know its lineup yet," Ceniza said.

Colina, who is also from San Roque, was part of the Under-23 national team training pool last year.

The failed U23 experiment

THE only positive thing that we can take in that loss against Timor Leste was that the U23 squad looked good in blue. And Ebong, too. The Blue-Haired fanatic whose voice we all heard on TV was fantastic. The team? The result? To be perfectly blunt it was a scrappy game from a scrappy team that seemed to treat the SEAG as a vacation, or a chance to gain more Twitter followers. (Yey, I can tweet the team apology first!) Going into the match, almost every fan who paid attention knew that we needed to win. Unfortunately, it seemed the players were operating on a different mindset.

Mother Nature plays spoilsport

The heavy rains spoiled the debut of defending champions Don Bosco College yesterday, cutting short the match between DBC A(?) and Bright. Hopefully, it will be a sunny Sunday. P.S. It will be interesting to note, how DBC divided its teams for the U12.

A Pinoy played for Real Madrid? (updated)

Image
HERE'S an interesting photo submitted by Asian Football Confederation women's committee member Cristina Ramos. Its taken at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and shows a gallery of the great players who played for Real Madrid. And guess where one of them is from? Jaron Genota said the only information he has managed to gather is that the player's name is Teus. I hope to get more information on this guy in the next few months. Ms. Ramos, who was also in the organizing committee of the Fifa U17 and U20 women's world cup, said the picture was part of Real Madrid's exhibit on the universality of their players. From Ms. Ramos, "Mike, the photo of the Filipino player was part of the display entitled "The Universality of our Players" in the Real Madrid museum in Bernabeu. It's funny that they acknowledged him but did not name him. Only those from countries which participated in the World Cup were named."
