San Roque Day Two

NINE-year-old Lawrence Colina averted a shutout for the hosts after banging in two goals in the San Roque Football Fiesta Players 10 final yesterday.

Colina’s goals lifted SRFC, which lost in three other finals in the two-day event, to a 2-1 win over the improving MLSDF Canduman.

After getting behind by a goal, Colina banged in two for his team’s seventh straight win and earning him the MVP nod in the division.

In the Boys 14 final, Jason Paculaba banged in John Rey Nieves’ miss to carry the Abellana National School Pomeroy, to a 1-0 win over the Blessed John Seminary.



Nieves was named MVP of the team coached by Luis Arriesgado.

Meanwhile, the San Roque girls faltered in their bid in the Women’s Open after falling to the tough University of San Carlos A, 3-0, in the finals.

The wily Apple Bariñan banged in the first goal in the 5th minute and the veteran Marlou Solon made the host pay for unmarking her in the 10tjh for a 2-0 count.

SRFC kept on pushing but their offensive forays yielded little results.

Bariñan, who was named the MVP in the division, got her second goal off a free kick after sending the ball straight through the wall.

Meanwhile, in the 36-above division, the Don Bosco College survived Sambag 1, 2-0 on penalties to win the division.

Sambag started the shootout badly with two straight misses while DBC, led by MVP Waldemar Sanchez, made their final two spot kicks to take the crown.

The results in the Men’s Open and Boys 19-Under were still unavailable at press time last night.

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.
