Defending champion West Negros College clashes with San Carlos City FC on Sunday for the second finals berth in the NOFA Provincial Under-19 Football Championships at the Manuel Y. Torres Sports Center pitch in Bago City .

The Wesnecans of coach Norman Fegidero enter the 10 a.m. game unscathed unlike San Carlos , which lost by forfeiture in its final group match last month.

San Carlos bagged a semifinal berth after its quarterfinal foe Don Bosco Technical Institute forfeited its match, opting to focus on its Provincial Meet bid in December.

BY CEDELF TUPAS

Jonicka Martina Guba cruised to a straight-sets win over her Indian opponent at the start of the round robin matches in the 2008 Asian 14-Under Series finals at the Boroondara Tennis Center in Melbourne , Australia .

The 14-year-old from La Carlota City, seeded sixth, overpowered Anushka Bargava, 6-3, 6-2, to open her bid on a promising note in the tournament limited to the top 8 players of the circuit.

It was Guba's second win in three meetings against Bargava, whom she also beat in the Bahrain leg of the Asian 14-Under tennis championships. Bargava's only victory over Guba came in the semifinals of the Riffa Views Cup also in Bahrain .
