brings home
4th tri-mountain title
BY PATRICK PANGILINAN
Himamaylan bet Eric Panique won an unprecedented fourth straight crown in the 9th Tri-Mountain Marathon Open Category in Bago City Sunday, beating long-time rival Rene Desuyo by four minutes.
Panique clocked 1 hour and 26:46 minutes in negotiating the 21-kilometer route that started at the Sitio Pataan and passed through scenic spots like Kipot Twin Falls, Buenos Aires Mountain Resort and the 2,900-ft. Rafael Salas Nature Park and Center. The Cadiz City-born Desuyo the last winner before Panique's reign, came in at 1:25:44, ahead of Anthony Babiera Himamaylan City, who made it a 1-3 finish for Himamaylan runners with his 1:26:51 clocking.
Panique won P10,000 for his feat with Desuyo and Babiera
awarded P7,000 and P5,000, respectively.

Dominguez
to Reynor Dominguez, surprise winner of last year's Rotary 'Golf for a Cause' tournament, will defend his title at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club starting March 31 in Bacolod City. Silay-based Dominguez, who only began playing golf in 2004, took last year's title with 86 points under the Stableford scoring system. "I'm looking forward to the tournament", he said, "I'll be doing my best to keep the title". The 2007 tournament, which will run until April 1, will mark the 10th year the event has been held. It is organized by the Rotary Club of Bacolod Marapara. The proceeds of the tournament will go to the Club's numerous
medical missions each year. |

Kabankalan XI pulls off upset Kabankalan pulled off a stunning 2-1 upset of Celta De Victorias Sunday to virtually clinch a place in the semifinals of the NOFA Under-17 Provincial Football Championships at the Bacolod City National High School pitch. The win puts Kabankalan on top of Group C with six points and only a monumental blunder against winless La Consolacion School-Gardenville this weekend can deny them a place in the semifinals. Defending champion San Carlos City and Sylvia Manor Hotel-Pontevedra
also streaked to their second straight victories to move closer
to a slot in the knockout stage. San Carlos surpassed Pontevedra's
huge 12-0 win with a thorough 15-0 beating of Negros Occidental
High School in Group A. But they would need to hurdle an in-form
Handumanan squad in their last elimination game. |
