The Sacred Heart School-Hijas De Jesus Senior Girls Team bagged the Girls-17 title in the 1st Patid sa TC Football Festival recently at the University of San Carlos- Technological Center field in Brgy. Talamban, this city.

The SHS-HJ belles did not concede a single goal in sweeping all their three games in the elimination round. They beat SHS-Jesuit, 1-0, and then pummeled Little Angels Montessori School (LAMS) 12-0, courtesy of the three goals each from Bea Maximo and Jackie Ting, two goals from Erika Casas and one goal each from Banban Yu, Mara Dado, Maris Ting and Lea-Ann Calejesan.

The SHS-HJ Seniors sustained their sizzling run by whipping sister-team SHS-HJ, 2-0. Banban Yu and Maris Ting delivered the winning goals.

SHS-HJ, behind the heroics of Banban Yu and Erika Casa, then thumped San Roque FC, 2-0, in the final to clinch the championship.

For topping Group A with a clean 3-0 slate, SHS-HJ Seniors also advanced into the women’s open, but lost to the Bulwarks via penalty shootout, 2-0. Bulwarks is composed of former varsity players who are now employed with different companies.

The SHS-Hijas Seniors are composed of Gail Oliamot, Bea Maximo, Erika Casas, Banban Yu, Jackie Ting, Lea-Ann Calejesan, Nicole Chanlim, Regine Lim, Mara Dado, Maris Ting, Karina Hilado and Monica Lee. Their coach is Dom Villamor assisted by Richard Canedo and Chris Escudero.

Interestingly, the SHS-HJ Seniors had already established several records including back-to-back titles in the San Roque Football Festival (2006 and 2007), championship in this year’s Milo Little Olympics Visayas, and first runner-up honors in the 2006 Mizuno Football Festival.

SHS-HJ COACHING STAFF WINS LAHUG FOOTBALL FESTIVAL

Dec 29, 2007 Issue. By Caecent Noot-Magsumbol, Staff Reporter

The Sacred Heart School-Hijas de Jesus Coaching Staff turned negative outlook into positive to clinch the men’s open crown of the 1st Lahug Football Festival at the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) field.

The newly-formed SHS-HJ Coaching Staff frustrated Don Bosco Alumni Football Club, 2-1, via penalty shootout in the final.

The victory of the SHS-HJ Coaching Staff booters was unexpected as they almost withdrew from the tournament after losing their first game against Barili by default. They only had six players who came on time.

“The team’s performance was totally unexpected. We almost withdraw from the tournament. I was disgusted when they forfeited their first game when the team was not able to field the minimum required 7 players to start the game. The others came in very late. Very unprofessional,” said team director Jonathan “Maxi” Maximo.

Maximo lectured the coaches that they are supposed to be role models to their players, yet they too lacked discipline.

After the discussion, everybody committed, not exactly to win the title, but at least to book a semifinal seat.

SHS-HJ was right on target as it landed No.2 in Bracket A with a 3-2 win-loss record.

SHS-HJ won against USPF-B, 2-0, Talisay Football Club, 3-0, and NTD FC-A, 1-0. Its second loss was inflicted by Don Bosco Alumni, 0-1.

In the semifinal round, SHS-HJ upset Bracket B top seed Hiroshi Football Club, 1-0. Former RP team member Richard Cañedo nailed the winning goal for the Jesuits.

Having been beaten by Don Bosco in the elimination, SHS-HJ Coaches worked doubly hard on their defense resulting into a scoreless draw at the end of the regulation period, thus, the penalty shootout.

Don Bosco’s first kicker scored, but Jade Paghubasan of SHS-HJ quickly sank the equalizer. The Bosconians flubbed in their next two attempts and in the ensuing sequence, Cañedo hit a goal to seal SHS-HJ’s resounding triumph. — Caecent No-ot Magsumbol

USC SEEKS REPEAT OVER USJ-R IN CESAFI FOOTBALL

Courtesy of THE FREEMAN Newspaper (www.philstar.com)December 22, 2007 Saturday issue
by Caecent No-ot Magsumbol, Staff ReporterManny Villaruel, Sports Editor

A grudge title match today between the University of San Carlos and the University of San Jose-Recoletos highlights the final day of CESAFI’s football competition at USC Talamban football field.

USC will try to avenge its loss to USJ-R in the elimination round that nearly booted them out of title contention, and repeat as champion.

USJ-R, on the other hand, seeks redemption after USC beat them in the title match last year.

Games today: USC Talamban Football Field

8am - USPF vs. UC (battle for third)

10am- USC vs. USJ-R (championship game)

Both USC and USJ-R barged into the final after winning their crossover semifinal games.

USC showed too much class in blanking the University of Southern Philippines Foundation 5-0.

USJ-R found itself on top of the standings after erstwhile leader the University of the Visayas got the axe for allegedly using two players with “academic deficiency.”

The Jaguars didn’t disappoint after getting the top spot and went on to beat the University of Cebu 2-0.

UC and USPF will provide the appetizer for the championship game as they play for third place.—Caecent No-ot Magsumbol

USC SETS UP TITLE CLASH WITH USJ-R


Courtesy of SUN STAR DAILY Newspaper (www.sunstar.com.ph)December 16, 2007 Sunday issue
By Edri K. Aznar, Correspondent
Mike Limpag, Sports Editor

DEFENDING champion University of San Carlos (USC) booked a return to the final after a 5-0 lopsided win over the second ranked Universty of Southern Philippines-Foundation (USPF) in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. yesterday at the USC-TC football field.

USC, which finished the elimination round with two draws and two losses got on board with Pomposo Atillo in the ninth minute for an early 1-0 lead over USPF, which owned a 1-2-1 card in the elimination.

Real star

However, the real star of the show was Ryan Lim as he scored a hat trick in the 45th, 72nd and 78th minutes to seal the fate of USPF. Kyle Soriano of USC also had a goal in the 67th minute.

USPF’s Michael Diano and USC’s Melvin Elle and Cliff Bacolod were all booked with yellow cards.

In the second game of the semifinals former four-time champion University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) ran over the University of Cebu (UC), 2-0.

USJR was hungry for the spot at the finals and UC was just thankful to have a second chance and hoped to proceed to the finals. But it wasn’t UC’s day after USJ-R ran them over in the second half.

UC, which finished the elimination round two draws and two losses, got the semifinal spot after Cesafi nullified the University of the Visayas’ wins for fielding ineligible players.

The last-ranked team managed to hold off the USJ-R defense before Robert Mamac stopped the drought and struck at the 50th minute to score the first goal of the game. Marvin Abelgas followed up with a goal 15 minutes after.

Red card

Meanwhile, Francis Navaja of UC and Jonathan Jamili of USJR both got yellow cards, while UC’s Norcel Hangalay was given the only red card of the game Hangalay will sit out next week’s matches.

It will be a grudge match of last year’s final match as the 2006 champion USC clashes with 2006 first runnerup USJ-R next week for the championship game. USPF will battle it out with UC for third place still at the USC-TC football field. (EKA)

Defending champion University of San Carlos (USC) Green Booters sent a strong message to the rest that they are not yet done after they blanked the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF), 5-0, to grab a final seat in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) football competition yesterday at the USC-TC Field.

Pomposo Atillo broke the ice of the match with nine minutes gone by in the game before Ryan Lim chipped in a goal for a 2-0 San Carlos lead at halftime.

In the final half, USC kept its relentless offensive despite Melvin Elle and Cliff Bacolod were both slapped with yellow cards.

Kyle Soriano found the back of the net at the 67th, then Lim completed a hat-trick at the 72nd and 78th to vault the Carolinians to the December 22 championship battle.

USC, thus, set up a title showdown with University of San Jose – Recoletos (USJ-R), which earlier booked a final ticket with a 2-0 drubbing of the University of Cebu (UC).

Both teams were scoreless in the first half, but Robert Mamac and Marvin Abelgas firing goals at the 50th and 65th minute.

USPF will now play UC for the third place honors. – Caecent No-ot Magsumbol

The semifinal cast of the CESAFI football tournament will have a major overhaul after top-seed University of the Visayas was disqualified with the discovery of academic deficiencies on two of their players.

This was divulged by CESAFI Commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy Thursday afternoon after a meticulous investigation uncovered academic deficiencies for both Adrianne Calinawan and Jerson Omnos, resulting in the team’s disqualification.

UV’s ouster opened the door for the University of Cebu Webmasters to see action in the next round, which starts today at the University of San Carlos football field in Talamban. UC through, will have its hands full as it faces newly minted top seed and four-time champions University of San Jose – Recoletos Kicking Jaguars at 8 am.

USJ-R will be looking for a repeat of their 3-1 elimination round victory over UC. Fueling USJ-R’s bid Adrianne Mejaran, Marvin Abelgas, Paul dela Victoria and Robert Mamac.

The other semis pairing pits second seed University of Southern Philippines against defending champion University of San Carlos with both teams expected to go all out for a win following their 2-2 draw in the preliminaries./CORRESPONDENT JONAS PANERIO

FR. VIC UY: PHILIPPINE SPORTS CHAPLAIN

Thursday, December 13, 2007 issue
by John Pages, Columnist - Match Point

CONGRATULATIONS to Cebu’s very own Fr. Vicente Uy for being appointed yesterday as the executive director of the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).

Next to PSC Chairman Butch Ramirez, his position wields the most power.

But Fr. Vic, one of the humblest people I’ve met, is not overawed. In an interview, he told Manila Bulletin’s Nick Giongco: “I don’t look at it as a position of power.”

At 7:15 p.m. yesterday, I got the chance to talk to Fr. Vic for a few minutes. I congratulated him and asked how his day went. “It’s only my second day so, as expected, I was very busy,” he said over the phone. “I’m at the airport now to welcome our SEA Games athletes who are returning home.”

I’ve known Fr. Vic Uy for many years now and it’s hard to find a nicer person. Here in Cebu, he yielded influence. At the University of San Carlos, he held one of the school’s highest positions as VP for Finance. To relinquish his role, he sought the permission of USC President Fr. Rod Salazar.

“I asked for a ‘leave of absence’ from USC,” I recall Fr. Vic, 58, telling me a few months back. “And good thing my colleagues at USC understood my mission to help RP sports.”

Here in Cebu, apart from his huge responsibility at USC, he was regional head of the PSC. During the 23rd SEA Games two years ago, he was overall chairperson of the Volunteers Committee.

Fr. Vic Uy’s favorite sport?

Tennis. I got the chance to play doubles with him a few times. Once, at the USC Main Campus court, we rallied against the pride of USC, the Siso siblings (Nino, Sally Mae, and Sallydine). On another occasion, we played doubles at the Casino Español. I remember that as memorable because we came from behind (trailing 4-7, I believe) before winning in a tiebreak.

When asked by Giongco if he’s aware of his big responsibility at the PSC, Fr. Vic responded in his usual no-nonsense but effective way: “As long as you uphold the law and do what is right, I don’t see any problem that will come our way.”

How about saying Mass? Is he still allowed?

“Under normal circumstances,” wrote Giongco, “Uy is not allowed to celebrate Mass but he is armed with a document from the head of the Catholic Church to continue holding services ‘only for the athletes.’ ”And so celebrate mass he did for the athletes.

“When I was in Thailand, I held Mass for three straight days with the athletes and officials,” said Fr. Vic. “The first was on the first Friday of the month, Immaculate Conception and Sunday in the presence of athletes, coaches and officials from the PSC and POC.”

For with Fr. Vic Uy, the PSC has one man with many talents: a proven leader, trustworthy servant, tennis-loving athlete, and, best of all, RP sports’ spiritual adviser.

SEMIFINALS NIXED AFTER CESAFI DISQUALIFIES UV PLAYERS

Edri K. Aznar, Correspondent

IT WAS nothing short of throwing a monkey wrench down the machine.

What was supposed to be the start of the exciting semifinal round of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. football tournament was postponed yesterday after the office of the commissioner found two players from the University of the Visayas players to be ineligible to play.

The move comes almost a month after the event started and the players were screened.

A memo of the disqualification was written last Friday by the office of Felix Tiukinhoy, who is the Cesafi commissioner, but was handed to Sherwin Rodriguez, head of the football officials, only yesterday forcing the cancellation of the games.

If the disqualification pushes through, all of UV’s previous games will be nullified and the University of Cebu, which finished last, could get its spot in the semifinals.

However, UV head coach Eddie Buot isn’t giving up that easy.

Memo
Buot said they got a memo asking that the players complete there requirements last Dec. 5.

“The memo was written on Dec. 4, but I got it last Dec. 5 in the morning. In the afternoon I had Frederick Alazas (UV captain) comply with the requirements,” Buot said.

Among the questioned requirements were the grade of one player and the study load of the other.

“We have already complied. As to the grades, some of the teachers were not able to submit there grades last month (in time for the screening),” Buot said.

Buot said he will raise the issue with UV this Monday and is hoping that the incident is just a bad case of miscommunication among the Cesafi officials. (EKA, ML)

THE UNIVERSITY of the Visayas secured the top spot in the standings heading into next week’s semifinal round after beating the University of Southern Philippines, 2-0, in the Cesafi football tournament yesterday at the University of San Carlos field.

The win gave UV nine points with a 3-0-1 (win-loss-draw) slate.

A crucial span of five minutes in the second half proved to be USP’s undoing as it allowed Junard Aguilar to escape with a goal in the 67th minute. Frederick Alazas then sealed the deal for UV with a goal in the 72nd minute of the game.

Meanwhile, the defending champions University of San Carlos’ downward spiral continued yesterday as it lost to USJ-R, 1-0.

In spite of the loss, USC will still make it to the semifinal round as it has a higher goal difference against the University of Cebu, with whom they found themselves tied with. The semifinal pairing will pit UV against USC while USJ-R tackles USP next weekend./CORRESPONDENT JONAS PANERIO.

JAGUARS TRAMPLE USC, 1-0, IN CESAFI FOOTBALL

PLAYING in a muddy field amidst the strong downpour, the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) denied University of San Carlos (USC) another chance at earning three points with a 1-0 win yesterday in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. football tournament at the USC Technological Center football field.

The match saw a heated battle between a team aiming to be on top and a team struggling for its first victory.

With the rain and the mud making balance difficult, tempers flared, bodies banged and players slipped while another got sent out.

Marvin Abelgas of USJR struck the only goal of the game in the 67th minute and gave the former four-time champion its second win against a draw and a loss for a solid hold of the second spot.

USC settled for fourth place, two draws and two losses, finishing just three goals ahead of the University of Cebu.

Meanwhile, in the second game University of the Visayas (UV) remained undefeated and handed University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) its first loss of the tournament, 2-0 win.

UV finished the elimination round firmly at first with three wins and a draw, while USPF settled for third with a win, a draw and a loss.

Junard Aguilar scored his third goal for UV in the tournament in the 67th minute. And Frederick Alazas added in the 72nd for a 2-0 count.

In next week’s semifinals, UV will face the fourth-ranked USC in a battle of the last two champions and last year’s finalists, while USJ-R will face USPF.

USJ-R will miss the services of Arlon Sabal in the semifinal after he got two yellow cards in a five-minute span in the first half. Sabal got his first yellow in the 29th and another in the 34th. UV’s Jomar Labastida and USPF’s Christian Deck Pacana were also booked for yellow cards. (EKA)

UNIVERSITY of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) salvaged a 1-1 draw with the University of Cebu (UC) in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. football yesterday at the University of San Carlos Technological Center (USC-TC) football field.

UC is still winless and is on the brink of elimination. It has a 0-2-2 win-loss-draw record while USPF gunned its second draw of the tournament and has a 1-0-2 win-loss-draw record.

UC’s hopes for a semifinals slot rests in the hands of USC. If USC losses to USJR today by more than five goals then UC advances to the semifinals but if USC wins then UC will be eliminated from the tournament.

Rodney Gandionco of UC struck the first goal of the game in the 25th minute but was answered by an equalizer from USPF’s Mark Gallardo 17 minutes after. This is Gallardo’s second goal of the tournament.

Meanwhile, a yellow card was handed to Racen Saiton of USPF in the 40th minute.

Meanwhile, in the second game it was a scoreless battle of former champions as University of the Visayas (UV) and University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJR) fought to a 0-0 draw. UV had three players booked with yellow cards, Howard Dolino in the sixth Fredrick Alazas in the 44th and Josaphat Sacil in the 59th minute. (EKA)

The University of the Visayas and the University of Southern Philippines Foundation, two leading contenders in the 2007 CESAFI football tournament, were held to draws by their respective rivals.

The draw enabled UV to hold the top spot in the standings. USPF, on the hand, inch closer to tying USJ-R for the second spot.

UV, however, paid dearly in its physical game against USJ-R as three of its leading players were yellow carded. Howard Dolino got the first yellow card in just six minutes of the first half and teammates Frederick Alazas and Josaphat Sacil got the yellow cards in the 44th and 59th minute marks, respectively. — Caecent No-ot Magsumbol

The University of the Visayas goes for its third straight victory when the football competition of CESAFI resumes today at the University of San Carlos Technological Center in Talamban, this city.

The match at 3 p.m. features two former champios. UV won the crown in 2005 while USJ-R had dominated collegiate football in since for a long time and last won the title in 2004.

So far, UV is on top of the standings with six points from its two wins. USJ-R is second with three points with 1-0-1 win-draw-loss card.

Spicing up the match is the game between the University of Cebu and University of Southern Philippines Foundation. UC has to win this particular match to stay in the tournament. That would, however, be easier said than done because UC will be without a key player in Daryl Tan who was red carded last week.

It was a day for former champions in the opening of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation football event at the University of San Carlos Technological Center field.

The University of the Visayas (UV), the 2005 champions, humbled the current title holders, USC, 2-0, while four-time champion University of San Jose Recoletos opened its campaign on a strong note with a 3-1 win against the University of Cebu.

Junard Aguilar scored the first goal for UV in the 38th minute of the first half and Freddie Rica added another goal in the 72nd minute for the win.

The highly-favored USC football team is now without last year’s coach and former RP Team member Joshua Fegidero after Fegidero returned to Bacolod.

The youthful team now handled by Fegidero’s former assistant Gary Panagsagan, started its campaign on a wrong note after losing to UV in their first game.

In the second game, USJ-R, the champion from 2001 to 2004, overpowered the University of Cebu (UC), 3-1, to take its first win in the tournament.

Adrianne Mejaran struck first for the Jaguars in the 13th minute before Ariel Repeso equalized for UC seven minutes later.

The Jaguars got the go-ahead goal from Paul dela Victoria with only 10 minutes left before Robert Mamac added the insurance goal deep in injury time.

Today UV will face UC at 1 p.m. and the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) will face off with USC at 3 p.m. still at the USC-TC football field. (EKA)

SACRED HEART LOSES TO POVEDA ANEW

by Marian C. Baring, Staff Reporter

THE Sacred Heart School Hijas de Jesus settled for the last spot in the 2007 Pintaflores Football Festival after bowing to Poveda, 1-3, yesterday at the Center Mall Fields in San Carlos City.

PaBol chief Jonathan Maximo said that it was not a bad thing for his troop as they were only after the experience and that the battle for third saw a more improved Sacred Heart team.

“The team improved a lot. In the elimination, they lost to Poveda, 5-0. now they were able to score and keep Poveda’s scoring minimal,” Maximo said.

Yesterday, Erin Yap scored the lone goal for Sacred Heart. Earlier on, the team also bowed to San Carlos City, which is a selection of the city’s top 17 years old and under players, 1-7. It was Grazel Galeos, who banged in Sacred Heart’s lone goal.

“We were up against better teams. Our team is school-based and is composed mostly of new players,” Maximo added.

This team, according to Maximo, is the school’s team B. SHS-HJ’s premier team A will be leaving for Manila of Nov. 10 for the Alaska Cup, which is just one of the competitions lined up for the team.

They have a scheduled tournament in Manila on January, Cagayan de Oro in February and Bukidnon in May. (MCB)

POVEDA BURIES PABOL 5-0

by Marian C. Baring, Staff Reporter

THE Sacred Heart School Hijas de Jesus PaBol Football Club bungled its first assignment in the 2007 Pintaflores Football Festival and suffered a 5-0 whitewash against a tougher and more experienced Poveda Manila in the competition’s opening day yesterday at the Center Mall Fields in San Carlos City.

“We won’t give any excuses. We simply lost to a more mature team,” said PaBol head Jonathan Maximo.

Poveda’s coach also admitted that he fielded an over-aged player.

The competition is for players 17 years old and above and playing for Sacred Heart are players who are between 13 to 15 years old.

“The coach informed us as well as the other teams about it and so we all agreed. It is okay. All is well, this is a developmental league anyway,” Maximo said.

The team, which is Team B of the PaBol squad, came face to face with a new format—the 9-aside game— with the offside ruling in play.

“It was new for us. But the girls had lots of fun and learned a lot from that experience. Competing here is a reward for those players who are serious in their practices and trainings,” he added.

The team was set to play Dumaguete City late yesterday afternoon. Poveda, meanwhile, received a bashing from home team San Carlos City, 2-5, later in the day. PaBol will face San Carlos City this morning.

“The title favorite here is San Carlos City. So we are up for a tall order tomorrow (today). They defeated Poveda and Dumaguete by a wide margin,” Maximo added.

PaBol’s team A will be competing in the Alaska Cup in Nov. 10 in Manila. (MCB)
