RISING Sun, Chico United rule Cebu leg of the Philippine Futsal Cup Winners Cup

28 August, 2011 Philippine Football Tournament, Visayas No comments

By Cheska D. Geli and Mike T. Limpag

RISING Sun and Chico United ruled the Cebu leg of the Philippine Futsal Cup Winners Cup yesterday at Metrosports,Lahug.

The all-Japanese team Rising Sun beat sister team Burning Sun, 5-3, on penalties to rule the men’s division, while the Cagayan de Oro-based Chico United overpowered Don Bosco Football Club, 3-1, to rule the women’s open.

Both teams qualified to the national finals in November where they will face winners of the other legs.

However, Rising Sun member Hayato Ayabe said they may not be able to send their team to the national finals because of lack of funds and will instead form a selection team of Cebu-based players, to be led by the champion team, for the nationals.

In the elimination round, despite not having a designated goalkeeper, Rising Sun finished undefeated with a 3-1 win over Boys Home and a 6-1 rout over Joker’s Arms.

PFC CUP Winners Cup Futsal Cebu On the other hand, the Burning Sun, which like the Rising Sun are manned by players of the Japanese-owned Crazy Horse Club, beat Cebu Eagles, 3-1, and LO, 7-1.

The seventh leg of the year-long futsal tournament gathered 12 teams in the men’s division, including new teams LO, NCR and Homeboys, manned mostly by players from the BPO industry, and six teams in the women’s.

For this tournament, local organizer Chris Oon modified the rules to avoid automatic elimination for the lowest ranked teams in the group.

All the teams who finished at the bottom played in a plate semis, which were considered wildcard matches.

Oon also encouraged the BPO teams to join the men’s open 11-a-side tournaments aside from the futsal tournament to boost their team.

“It would be a good experience for them to play with the other teams,” said Oon, who is also planning to organize a BPO football tournament.

26 August, 2011 Mindanao, PFF, Philippine Football Tournament No comments

Visiting squads Butuan-Agusan del Norte Football Association (BANFA) and Central Mindanao University A-Kids of Musuan, Bukidnon downplayed their chances in the Acer Cup U23 Mindanao Invitational that opened Thursday at the Tionko field, Davao City.

Both teams are seeing action in the Acer bootfest for the first time.

BANFA coach Glenn Monet said their team had very short preparation for the competition.

They also got funding for their traveling expenses from the Butuan government one day before coming to Davao City.

“Our team is bannered mostly by High School players since our college players can’t be excused from their classes. This will be a very good exposure for the team. We are happy for the invitation from Davao Football Association and at the same time with the support of our government officials,” Monet said during the Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn on Thursday.

CMU coach Ronaldo Balanda said they’ve been competing in Davao FA organized events in the past but all these were on Seven-A-Side formats.

Balanda added, “We will try our best to win this 11-A-Side tournament. We have been champions in Seven-A-Side competitions but the Acer Cup will be one great challenge for our part.”

Davao Football Association (DFA) logoHe said they CMU is composed of three High School, two 14-under and one 15-year-old players while the rest are college students.

Davao FA general secretary Erwin Protacio said Medvil, Columbia and University of Mindanao (UM) Tagum are also entered in the single round-robin tournament where the team with the most number of points will be declared champion.

The event offers P10,000 cash, trophy and medals to the champion, P5,000 and medals to the runner-up. No less than Philippine Football Federation (PFF) president Mariano “Nonong” Araneta will award the prizes. The third placer will also receive medals.

Individual awards will be given to the most valuable player, best striker, best defender and best goalkeeper. (MLSA)
