SHS-J bags two crowns in San Carlos City


COMPETING in their first tournament in football manic San Carlos City, the Eagles United/Sacred Heart School-Jesuit made it two-for-two as their two teams bagged the titles in their respective categories in the San Carlos City Summer Football Festival.

It was sweet change for the Sacred Heart boys, after bagging semifinal finishes in the Thirsty Cup 2006 and the GTZ Cup this year.

"At the start of the tournament, they seemed nervous and tense during the elimination round," said Dondon Ramos, a parent of one of the SHS-J players.

In the 10-under finals, SHS-J blanked Bais City, 2-0, on goals from Don Darren Ramos and Pedro Diao.

"Dia is the top scorer in the division. If they handed out MVP awards, he will surely win it," Ramos said.



It was a similar one-sided affair in the 8-under as Sacred Heart defeated Kids United of San Carlos City, 4-1, on goals by Matthew Reyes and Isagani Fernandez.

"Fernandez is a very good player," Ramos said.



The two teams were coached by Lito Ramos, who began training the team just three weeks ago. The 10-under team also lost in the GTZ Cup semifinal round to Ateneo de Manila University, a team they defeated in a friendly match a few days earlier.

After the two day fiesta, Sacred Heart is set to return for another festival in San Carlos City on July 1.

"The parents are already excited to return, and this time, we will be playing together with Paref-Springdale," Ramos said.

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.

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.

Fair Play: The Devil's Advocate and CFA vs. CAFC

(This is my Fair Play column for Sun.Star Cebu on Feb. 6) I GOT an interesting e-mail the other day about the consequences for teams that withdraw from PFF-organized national tournaments and its corresponding sanctions. I guess, it’s time to play Devil’s Advocate. For PFF-organized events, there are four types of withdrawals—after confirming participation but before grouping or scheduling takes place, after regional finals but before grouping in nationals, after the grouping in the nationals, and in the course of the national competition.
