SEMIS CLASH WITH ILOILO UP
BY CEDELF TUPAS
ILOILO CITY --- With its team already assured of a semifinal berth, the Negros Occidental coaching staff tinkered with its line-up and nearly paid dearly for the move.
But thanks to two brilliant second half goals by Arnie Pasinabo, the Negrenses kept their unbeaten record intact with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Northern Cotabato yesterday in the PFF-National Men's Open Football Championships at the slippery La Paz pitch here.
More importantly, the win avoided a semifinal confrontation
with titleholders NCR but nevertheless, the Negrenses face a tall order
of beating host Team Biscocho House-Iloilo for a place in the finals
tomorrow.

Scientific
training Members of the Negros elementary and secondary athletics squads who will see action in the Western Visayas Regional Athletics Association Meet in Roxas City , Capiz need a scientific training approach to win consistently, an official of the delegation said yesterday. "More or less the other teams joining the regional meet are practicing the way Negros athletics squads do, but our players really need a scientific approach to excel in the sport," Manuel De Oro, officer-in-charge of the Provincial Sports and Development Office, told the DAILY STAR. De Oro, who heads the training staff of the Negros athletics teams,
said the scientific approach will be applied starting next year
because of insufficient time as the regional school-based hostilities
had already been slated March 16 to 20. |
