DBC rules CIS bootfest

THE Don Bosco College (DBC) football teams reigned in the Cebu International School (CIS) Friendship Cup after taking five championship trophies.
The Friendship Cup also depicted the picture of Cebu football – DBC and Paref-Springdale figured prominently in the youth age-groups, while the CIS ladies showed they are the team to beat in the distaff side by sweeping the two titles.
Players 6
DBC-Giusseppe A started the title haul for the Bosconians as they defeated Springdale, 1-0, in the Players 6 finals to complete an impressive run of seven straight wins without conceding a single goal.
Lornezo Genzo scored eight goals in DBC’s winning run, while Anderson Villagracia had six, including the title clincher. Other members of the team are Johann Samosa, Gab Lopez, Graem Liu, Jack Sembrano and goalkeeper Agustin Roa.
In the 8-Under finals, DBC defeated M. Lhuillier-Canduman, 1-0, to take home the title, while its 10-Under squad also defeated rival Springdale, 1-0, to top the division.
Lone goal
Valentino Calvo scored the lone goal, while Jerome Vestil kept the goal clean for the win. Other members of the team are Carlo Abella, Christian Agot, Junjie Arizabal, Levine Inez, Paolo Labajo, Joseph Mercado and Bency Villanueva.
It was an all-Bosconian affair in the P12 division as DBC A defeated DBC B, 1-0, to take the crown. Both teams defeated the two Asian Shipping teams, 1-0, in the semifinals.
Don Bosco’s 17-Under squad also ruled its division, taking the crown after prevailing in the shootout, 5-4, over Springdale. RJ Sembrano missed a chance to take the title for Springdale as he bungled a penalty shot in the dying minutes, sending the game into a shootout.
Springdale’s 14-Under squad, led by Paolo Pascual, averted a shutout as it took the division after a 2-0 win over CIS.
In the ladies side, CIS A defeated sister-team CIS B, 6-2, in the 19-Under division, before the CIS 14-Under team scored a 3-0 shootout win over San Roque Football Club in the finals.
Meanwhile, despite having 86 teams in the CIS Cup, no untoward incident happened and CIS director Mark Bretherton attributed it to the absence of the Men’s teams.
Calm
“The atmosphere here is calm yet competitive because the Men’s teams aren’t here. There is no tension,” he said.
No player was sent out yesterday and the most heated match was the Under-17 finals between Springdale and DBC, where some of the players were roughhoused.
