Toledo lifts SRFC to Denker title
ELEAZAR Toledo banged in the lone goal in the final game to give the San Roque FC the Denker Cup title over a gritty Hiroshi FC Under-18 squad at the Mepz Field in Lapu-Lapu City.
Toledo got the ball just 20 yards from the goal, faked right and turned left before blasting a grounder to the lower right corner past Paolo Pascual in the first half for the title-clincher.
San Roque finished on top of the five-team elimination round of the Denker Cup, which is organized by Manfred Schuwerk and FC Inter Cebu, with one win and three draws, after beating Queen City earlier, 1-0.
The Denker Cup is a full 11-a-side game with teams playing 15 minute halves in the elimination round. The top two teams played for the title, while the third and fourth-ranked teams played for third spot.
After yesterday’s Men’s Open, the Denker Cup resumes on April 23 for the 1991 age group, April 30 for the 1989 age group, May 7 for 1993 and May 14 for the 1987 bracket.
Queen City took the third spot after beating Inter Cebu, 1-0.
“At least with this tournament, we have known the strength and weakness of the team,” said Queen City coach, Mario Ceniza.
Tune-up
Ceniza is using the tournament as a tune-up for Queen City before they host the Cebu Invitational Inter Club tournament later this month, against top teams from Bacolod and Mindanao.
“We are still accepting players to join us, since we have only 15 ,” said Ceniza.
Among their latest recruit is former Hiroshi FC midfielder, Martin Bontia and Toledo.
Bontia now joins his former Carmen National School teammates Randel Cano, Jack Reston, Agustin Bardinas, Ronald Mahilom and Ivan Dimco in Queen City.
Meanwhile, Ceniza will assist national Under-14 coach, John Carmona in a trials for Cebu’s best players in the 1992 age-group this April 7-8 at the San Roque field.
Players who get picked for the team will play in the Asian Football Confederation Under-14 tournament in Malaysia on May 29 to June 4.
“After the trials, the players from Mindanao and Cebu who will be picked will go to Bago for thier training. Two weeks before they leave for Malaysia, they will transfer to Manila for the final phase of their training,” Ceniza said.
