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.

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."
