Negros U-15 football squad
joins POF despite fund lack
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Determined to make its presence felt in the national scene, the Negros Occidental Under-15 football squad pushed through with its participation in the Philippine Olympic Festival finals in Manila , despite budgetary constraints.
In the absence of support from the provincial government of Negros Occidental, team officials, led by Edwin Alova raised funds and the Negros Occidental Football Association also extended financial support so the team could purchase its tickets to Manila , NOFA coordinator Pauline Javelona said.
The Negros booters qualified for the national finals after placing third in the Visayas qualifying tournament last September at the Iloilo Sports Complex pitch.
