DBC, Schuwerk receive SAC awards

The Don Bosco College elementary football team was named the major awardee for football in the 25th Sportswriters Association of Cebu-SMC All Cebu Sports Awards last May 18 at the Casino Español de Cebu.

The DBC team received their award for winning the Palarong Pambansa title in Naga City last year.



On the other hand, German football philanthropist Manfred Schuwerk also got a citation for brining football to the under-privileged in Lapu-Lapu City and for organizing various leagues for this youth.

The guest speaker of the silver anniversary of the award giving body was also Stu Gould, the father of former RP team member Chad Gould.

Bai mike, the players, parents, coaching staff, and Salesians highly appreciate the support and the acknowlegement. Thank you very much.

The bulk of the 2006 Palaro Champions players born 1993 - De Guzman, Tan, Gealon, Tabar, Limalima, Nacorda, Caballes, Ricamora, Baclay - except for the 1994 born players who played in the 2007 Palaro (Caindec, Noel, Decena, Caballero), will represent Cebu in the PFF Regional Finals for P14 players to be held in Antique on August or September. DBC will be reinforced by three players from Sacred Heart-Jesuits (Arcenas,Tan and Ramos) and one from USC-South (Ramos)as well as three other DBC players -Abello, Ramirez and Que.

if the proposed 18-man lineup pushes thru (up from the 16-man lineup during the elims), DBC will have the luxury of picking up 2 more players. we are unsure as of yet if we can pick up players who did'nt play during the qualifying tournament or if we are limited to those from other teams who participated.

the team just came from San Carlos City and won a 7 a side tournament there for 1991 born players. the team won the championship, defeating a team composed mostly of members of their Batch 1992 Center for Football Excellence (CFE) pool. Incidentally, the 2007 Palaro Champions (Region 6 also from San Carlos City) watched the team play. we jokingly asked their coach if they wanted an exibition game between the two Palaro Champs after the championship, but they declined. too bad, Assunta and Alesandra de Rossi would have watched since they were there for the miting de avance of Congressman Jules Ledesma's party.

the team has adjusted well from the different coaching styles of Coach Babot Bono to Coach Glen Ramos, particulary the defensive formation that coach Ramos employs. being handled by two succesfull youth coaches has given the boys a deeper and wider understanding on how the game is played on a full-side. we hope to make a good showing in Antique later this year.

Again, thank you for the support.

what did DON BOSCO in advance to a GOOD LOCAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE in CEBU CITY????????

BROTHER Mari failed to organize a good football-coaching-association as president.

Don Bosco also could not stop Jonathan Maximo in his bad style!

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."
