ILOILO, NCR ROUT DAY 1 RIVALS
ILOILO CITY --- A relentless offense turned out to be the best defense for Negros Occidental.
Playing together as a team for the first time, the Negrenses showed great cohesion, blanking Masbate, 5-0, for its initial win in the PFF National Men's Open Championships at the Central Philippine University pitch here.
"This is actually a warm-up for us. It's the first time this team has played together and I am happy with the result," NOFA XI mentor Freddie Lazarito told the DAILY STAR.
With the Negrenses controlling 80 percent of possession,
Masbate hardly threatened and five different players scored for Negros
in the one-sided victory, including Southeast Asian Games campaigner
Jerome Orcullo, who played with great resolve at midfield and created
the best scoring opportunities for his team.

Settle differences, solon Rep. Monico Puentevella yesterday called on Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco and POC chairman Robert Aventajado to settle their differences and unite for the good of the country's sports program. "If the reports are true that they (Cojuangco and Aventajado) are having a feud, then it is time for them to unite for the benefit of Philippine sports," Puentevella, who is the vice-president of the POC, said. The rift between the two POC ranking officials reportedly began
after the country's hosting of the 2005 Southeast Asian Games as
Aventajado, who is also the Philippine SEAG Organizing Committee
chairman, allegedly failed to raise the expected revenues during
the biennial meet. |
