ASIAN 14-UNDER FINALS
Martina settles for third
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Jonicka Martina Guba captured third place honors in the 2008 Asian 14-Under Series finals at the Boroondara Tennis Center in Melbourne , Australia .
Shrugging off her semifinal loss, the 14-year-old Guba, who hails from La Carlota City, vented her ire on No. 1 seed Natasha Palha of India for a comprehensive 6-2, 6-2 victory yesterday.
The win evened up the head-to-head standings between the two players, who are among the elite eight standouts of Asia invited in this tournament --- one of the side events of the Australian Open. 
| WNC blanks San Carlos , West Negros College proved too classy against a youthful San Carlos FC side yesterday and forged a title duel with University of St. La Salle for the NOFA Men's Under-19 Football Championship. The gulf in quality and experience was reflected on a 5-0 scoreline at the Manuel Torres Sports Center pitch, where West Negros strikers Joven Bedic and Ryan Lirio scored two goals each. The win sets up another intriguing showdown with rival La Salle on Sunday for the title. |
