BACOLOD City solidified their hold of the number one spot with a hard-earned 3-2 win over Don Bosco College (DBC) - FFC, while defending champion Hiroshi FC blanked Foundation University, 3-0, in the yesterday's 6th Cebu Inter Club Invitational Tournament Men's Open at the University of San Carlos – Technological Center.

The West Negros College-manned Bacolod now hold the number one spot with nine points, on a 3-0 mark, while Hiroshi dislodged DBC at second on goal difference.

DBC paid dearly for their loose markings on the defensive end as Robert CaƱedo struck twice, as Bacolod took a 3-1 lead with less than 30 minutes left to play. DBC, managed to come within one, 3-2, but the WNC defense held on, while veterans Glen Ramos and Reydrick Viliran, who joined the game in the final 20 minutes failed to turn the tide.

"Na-byaan sa depensa ang striker," Ramos said after the match.

Ramos and Bacolod playing coach, Norman Fegidero, both former national team mainstays, also got a little too physical and got booked for a yellow card late in the match.

Meanwhile host Queen City United finally bagged a win of their own with a 5-0 dumping of Ormoc, keeping their semifinal hopes alive.

After dropping their first two matches to DBC and Bacolod, Queen City now sits at fourth spot, dislodging Foundation University by five goals.

Former Hiroshi mainstays Martin Bontia and Josaphat Sacil scored the first two goals for Queen City before Marlon Rey Baring scored twice and Bong Aller converted a penalty for their win.

On the other hand, Hiroshi's new recruit Arndt Kollmar came up with a few saves yesterday in their 3-0 win. After strikers Junard Aguilar, Epifanio Ynot bungled their early chances, including Ynot's strike the hit the bar, Kollmar's reflex save prevented Dumaguete from taking the early lead.

Ynot finally struck in the 39th for a 1-0 halftime lead and John Paul Arranquez and Jake Acre added one each in the second half for their win.

Hiroshi will play West Negros today while Queen City takes on Dumaguete and Don Bosco faces Ormoc.

In the ladies' division at the Sacred Heart School-Jesuit field, the Ladies Football Club-CDO cruised to their third win, a 2-1 escape over Mulbachs while San Roque defeated Ormoc, 2-1, on goals by Rhodora Toledo and Jack Elnar.

In the 38-above division, Ormoc defeated Hiroshi, 4-1, while DBC and Queen City fought to a 2-2 draw.
