Negros XI gains semis
FACES N. COTABATO FOR GROUP A PLUM
BY CEDELF P. TUPAS

ILOILO CITY --- A superb first half strike from Southeast Asian Games campaigner Arnie Pasinabo lifted Negros Occidental to a 1-0 victory over Zamboanga yesterday in the PFF-National Men's Open Football Championships at the La Paz pitch here.

The win pushed Negros, 5-0 winners over Masbate Tuesday, to the semis but it still needs to beat tournament debutant North Cotabato at 3 p.m. today to grab the top ranking in Group A.

As expected, title-holder National Capital Region breezed through the Final Four while perennial contender Iloilo received a brief scare before advancing to the next phase.

SR tops bowling tournament

SR Bowlers - Bacolod brought home the title in the two-day 2006 Bago City Bowlers Association-organized 40th Charter Anniversary Trio Invitational Bowling Tournament at the Gonzaga Plaza Arcade Bowling Alley in Bago City.

Headed by Steven Be, the twice-to-beat SR downed Barangay I Active Solid Strikers Fellowship Bowlers, Inc. in the deciding match, 362-360, to win the championship.

ASSFBI shut down Be's group in the first game, 355-330, but the later buckled down to work in the endgame with a heartbreaking victory.

Four members of the Negros Taekwondo Union-Tigers earned slots in the Philippine Team after making the grade in the try-outs of the 2006 National Team Selection at the Philippine Taekwondo Association Central Gym in Manila recently.

The Jimjim Chua-mentored NTU jins who gained spots in the RP Team are former Southeast Asian Taekwondo Union Championships gold medallists Crystal Pauline Reyes and Rubylyn Mapa, Ma. Daphne Alindogan and Jose Emmanuel Enriquez.

The four Tigers standouts were among only 32 jins all over the country that were included in RP Team A, with 16 coming from the seniors category and the other 16 from the juniors division.
