Thursday, March 06, 2008 Springdale ready for Cviraa
PAREF-Springdale, which will represent Cebu City in the upcoming Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (Cviraa) football tournament on March 25 in Tagbilaran City, is working hard to prepare to take on the best football teams in the Central Visayas region.
The Paref-Springdale football team trains rigidly with a two-hour practice sessions four times a week and is almost a hundred percent ready to go head to head with the other football teams in the annual Cviraa football tournament.
“We are 85 percent ready,” Paref-Springdale coach Mario Ceniza told to Sun.Star Cebu in an interview yesterday.
Paref-Springdale, last year’s winner of the Cebu City Olympics, is scheduled to have their first tune up game with Queen City United Men’s team this Sunday at the University San Carlos-Technological Center football field. They will play two tune-up games on that day and will have another set of friendlies with the same team the following week.
The Paref-Springdale team is set to arrive on March 23 in Tagbilaran City and will have their games two days later.
To bolster their chance of winning the Cviraa and getting a spot in the Palarong Pambansa in Palawan this April, the team took five reinforcements from Abellana National School and one each from Camp Lapu Lapu and University of Southern Philippines Foundation.
According to Ceniza, the team to look out for in the regional meet is Cebu Province.
“There is the Cebu Province which is represented by Don Bosco Liloan. We have already played against them in here. I don’t know about Negros, Dumaguete and Bohol because we haven’t scouted them,” he said. (EKA)
