BY CEDELF TUPAS

Two players affiliated with English Premiere League clubs have expressed interest in joining the Philippine Team that will see action in the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup in May.

The Philippine Football Federation is keen on tapping James Hall of Everton and goalkeeper Neal Etheridge, a reserve of London-based Fulham, to beef up the national side that will vie against Bhutan, Tajikistan and Brunei in the May 13-20 tournament to be held in Iloilo City and Barotac Nuevo town.

Both the Glasgow-born Hall, who signed a one-year contract with Everton last year, and Etheridge, 18, have Filipino mothers, Philippine Football Federation president Mari Martinez said.

The immense potential of young Negrense cagers Clark Bautista and Luigi Dela Paz were recognized in the National Nike Elite Camp in Laguna recently.

Dela Paz, a six-foot point guard expected to see action for La Salle-Zobel in the UAAP juniors tournament this year, was named best camper and selected to the mythical five of the 15-Under division, basketball scout Dexter Dy, who served as the local elite camp coordinator said.

Bautista, who graduated from Benedictine International School recently, was named among the top five players in the 17-Under category.
