CIS captures titles in U-17 divisions
The Cebu International School made a killing in the Under-17 division of the San Roque Football Festival over the weekend at the San Roque Parish.
The CIC Girls squad, the same team that finished runner-up in the International Schools Athletic Conference last summer at Brent School in Manila, went undefeated in the elimination round and then narrowly defeated upstart Sacred Heart School for Girls, 1-0, behind Presley Cunningham’s goal to win the title.
Others who suited up for CIS in the two-day fiesta were Mara Reina, defender Holly “The Tank” Dychangco, keeper Danica Ronquillo, Danica Lotzoff, Stephani Sharpe and Gabi Mercado.
Boys division
On the other hand, CIS’ Boys squad, led by Michael Sharpe, Paolo Cases and keeper Miguel Red, also went undefeated in the elimination round and got past the University of Southern Philippines in the finals to take home the crown.
It was the first tournament in the country for Sharpe and Cases after representing the Philippines in a Manchester United-sponsored tournament in Thailand last May.
In the Men’s Open, Crazy Horse, which imported players from Bacolod City, defeated the University of San Carlos, 1-0, in extra time to take home the crown. The Don Bosco Alumni FC defeated Queen City United A via shootout to win the 37-Above title.
The Women’s Open was cancelled as Cebu’s top lady booters were in Davao for the Philippine Football Federation National Women’s Championship, where they finished runner-up to Davao City.
Seventy-seven teams joined the fiesta geared to revive football in San Roque, one of the metro’s football hotbeds in the late 80s. (ML)
