Palaro update
The Don Bosco College led elementary team scored a 3-0 win over Cagayan Valley to debut in style in the 2006 Palarong Pambansa in Naga City.
On the other hand, the Abellana National School led secondary team was not as lucky as they dropped a close, 0-1, loss to Region 4.
A parent of one player has attributed the loss to first-game jitters while Ronaldo -- our resident expert at Cebufootball.blogspot -- reported "Region 4 played with more discipline even if they were less skilled.they obviously followed a game plan. Cviraa again depended on the longball."
The elementary team will next take on Romblon, who defeated Region 6, while the secondary team has improved in its second game, "Nakalitan ra dyud ang juniors nato sa first game.Nindot na ang duwa nila karon kay naa nay passing.Don't know if they will meet region 6 (Iloilo/Negros) sa eliminations."
Go Cebu!

CVIRAA survived a defenders error that gave zamboanga the lead in the first half. CVIRAA equalized minutes later thru a goal by City Central reinforcement Prince Antony.
No goals were scored in the second half, which saw Zamboanga manhandle the smaller and younger CVIRAA squad, with help from the referees who seem to have swallowed their whistles.
A penalty shootout insued with no winner after the first five kickers. Three sudden death kickers later, Leonard Tan of Don Bosco parried away a Zambo shot and Christian Noel converted his attempt to give CVIRAA the hard earned win.
The stadium erupted as everyone was rooting for the CVIRAA team who was clearly smaller and obviously younger than their opponents. Parents of the players who traveled overnight thru masbate and braved the typhoon got the Bicol residents as their extra cheerleaders.
Bai Mike, if mao ning kalaki sa DepEd nga ang mga klarong overage paduwaon, mas maayo pang wala na lang Palaro.
