Marinerong Pilipino to face BRT Sumisip in D-League finals

THE Eloy Poligrates-led Marinerong Pilipino battles the BRT Sumisip Basilan-St. Clare in Game 1 of the best-of-three finals series at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, October 3, 2019.

The Skippers are tagged as the favorites to win it all this conference, having won all of their nine games heading into the title match including a two-game sweep of TIP in the semifinals.

Poligrates, a Cebuano fan favorite who is pegged to win the Conference MVP would be tasked with leading the squad along with fellow Cesafi products William McAloney and Adven Jess Diputado.

Standing on its way, though, is a BRT Sumisip-St. Clare side that is as determined to succeed. The Saints were impressive as well, sweeping their assignments in the eliminations to the quarters before finishing off rivals CEU in three games in the semis for their first-ever Finals trip.
