Cebu Football - Thirsty for more
By Mike Limpag
DEFENDING champion Abellana National School-Pomeroy will return to defend its titles in the Boys 17 and 19 divisions of the Thirsty Cup this weekend.
ANS, which won the Milo National Olympics title last November, will be split into two teams in the Boys 17 and will have one team in Boys 19, and Boys 14 divisions.
“Most of those who won the Milo title will be in one team,” said ANS coach Francis Ramirez, whose boys are the inaugural champions in the Milo National Olympics.
ANS won the Boys 17 last year, beating its sister team in the finals, and University of Southern Philippines Foundation in the Boys 19 finals.
This year, Ramirez’s route to the Boys 19 title may have gotten a bit easier as they only have MZED, Ma. Montessori School and HCA Tubigon to compete with.
“I was expecting USC and USPF to be in the Boys 19 and they were the teams that I prepared for,” said Ramirez.
USC and USPF will be joining the elite Men’s Open, which attracted 40 teams.
However, because of the seven-a-side format and the short time, Ramirez isn’t taking any chances.
“Lisud sad kay kung mataghapan ka, lisud gyud i-gukod,” said Ramirez.
In the Boys 17 division, the two ANS squads will be competing with 13 others, including favorites Don Bosco Technological Center (DBTC) and Foundation University (FU).
In the Boys 14, they will contend with DBTC and two teams from football hotbed San Carlos City.
The Thirsty Cup will kick off its seventh edition this Friday at the Cebu City Sports Center with 201 teams.
The Men’s Open has the biggest entries with 40, while the Boys 12 has 26. The Players 10 division also attracted 20 teams.

Reigning champion University of the Philippines and unbeaten University of Santo Tomas face off in Sunday’s UAAP men’s football action at the Erenchun field in Ateneo campus.
State U, which scored wins against University of the East (2-0) and host Ateneo (2-0), and Santo Tomas U take the field in the 1 p.m. second game with the winner taking the early lead in this edition of the annual tournament.
UE, winless after two matches, clashes with Far Eastern University (1-1) in the 10 a.m. opening match.
"Every game goes tougher and wilder," said UP mentor Frank Muescam, who expects Ghanaian player Ayi Nii Aryee to step up anew after a remarkable debut last Wednesday. “I’m hoping we sustain our run because every team wants to beat us."
UST, in a tie with UP on top at 2-0, is expected to rely on strikers Christian De Juan and Mark Clarino.
Host Ateneo (1-1) aims for its second win when it battles La Salle (0-2) in the 3 p.m. closing match.
Defending women’s champion UST nailed its second win after a 2-1 decision against Ateneo behind the goals by Nikki Regalado (7th minute) and Marianne Narciso (17th minute) to stay on top.
FEU settled for a scoreless draw against La Salle in the other match. – GMANews.TV

Reigning champ UP blanks Ateneo in UAAP football

Cebu Football - More than 200 teams in Thirsty Cup
By Edri K. Aznar
THIS year’s edition of the Thirsty Football Cup looks bigger as more than 200 teams—local and from out of town—are expected to compete in Cebu City’s biggest annual football festival on Feb. 5 to 7 at the Cebu City Sports Center football grounds.
Last year, the festival generated a record-breaking 226 football squads in 14 different divisions.
As of now, the tournament is close to breaking that record as 224 teams have signed up for the mammoth football event.
Although only 118 teams have confirmed their participation. The number is expected to bloat as the playdate nears when the teams outside Cebu City will start arriving.
The number of visiting teams this year has skyrocketed. More than 40 teams from Dumaguete, Bacolod, Cagayan De Oro, Leyte, Butuan, Masbate, Iligan and Negros signed up.
Last year attracted only 30 visiting squads.
The football event will retain the same 14 divisions as last year’s—Players 6, Players 8, Players 10, Boys 12, Girls 12, Boys 14, Girls 14, Boys 17, Girls 17, Boys 19, Ladies Open, 36-and-above, 40-and-above and the prestigious Men’s Open, which currently has the most teams with 41.

UNIVERSITY of the Philippines (UP) scored a goal in each half to beat University of the East (UE) in the 72nd University Athletic Association of the Philippines football tournament on Sunday at the Ateneo’s Erenchun Field.
The Fighting Maroons took control with an Andre Mercader goal in the 38th minute. Jay Romulo Eusebio also scored in the 68th minute to complete the victory by the defending champions.
UP still can’t field Ayi Nii Aryee, a player from Ghana, because of eligibility issues. Four years ago, Ayi was stranded at Clark’s Diosdado Macapagal Airport for seven months because of visa problems in Singapore, where he was contracted to try out for a Singaporean team before his agent deserted him. He eventually returned to Ghana after he got help from a local football team and later tried out with the Maroons.
Gregorio Cancio’s header in the 83rd minute lifted Ateneo over FEU in the other match.
In junior’s action, Jeremy Michael Mabanag scored four goals as Ateneo shut out University of Santo Tomas. Mabanag scored in the 31st and added three more in the second half.
FEU defeated La Salle Zobel, 2-0, with Alandel Donekyas scoring in the 36th and Nasilin Mandjini in the 80th.

Frances Jay Abrasaldo scored Emar’s first goal in the 37th minute that set the pace of the game for the Matina-based booter’s favor.
Abrasaldo’s goal came after numerous offensive attack changes in the early going of the match witnessed by some officials of Holcim Phils.
Bal Angelo scored another goal in the 78th minute and Jomar Acedo, who was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) scored another one three minutes later to seal the victory.
Ateneo battled hard but just could not keep pace with the much-quicker Emar booters who outplayed the Ateneans at all front.
Davao City National High School Columbia defeated Holy Child School of Davao Red, 2 — 0, to cop the third place honor with Rocky Custodio and Gerad BicaƱesa scoring goals that keyed the win.
Holcim, Phils. Mining, CHR & Admin Manager Engr. Cilor P. Guevarra awarded cash prizes and medals to the winners.

Beefed-up RP booters join Taiwan tourney
MANILA, Philippines—Crack Filipino-British players Chris Greatwich, Chad Gould and Rob Gier have been recalled to the national football team for the upcoming Taiwan-Philippines Inter-Port Friendship Cup in Kaoshiung, Taiwan, from Jan. 14 to 18.
The trio will join mainstays Emelio Caligdong, Ian Araneta, Aly Borromeo and Anton del Rosario as well as collegiate aces Roxy Dorlas of San Beda and Jovanie Simpron of Far Eastern in the squad that will be handled for the first time by Briton Desmond Bulpin.
The squad, however, will miss key players in Fulham goalkeeper Neil Etheridge and Simon Greatwich, who are sidelined by injuries.
Also included in the national squad, which will also see action in the Asean Football Championships in October, are brothers Gerard and Jerome Orcullo and newcomers Manuel Ott and goalkeeper Paolo Pascual.
The interport marks the first time the team will play since April last year, when they missed out on a berth in the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup after losing three of their four matches in a qualifier in the Maldives.

New RP football coach optimistic
BRITISH football
mentor Desmond Bulpin will make his coaching debut for the Philippine national team during the Philippine-Taiwan Inter-Port Friendship Cup in Kaoshiung, Taiwan late this month.
Having served in various capacities in English clubs, hopes are high that the 58-year-old Bulpin could turn the fortunes around of the national squad, which has failed to qualify in its last two international tournaments.
“It’s a massive challenge, but we have to get on with it,” Bulpin recently said.
Bulpin will get his baptism of fire in the four-day tournament where the Filipinos will go up against the Chinese-Taipei national team on Jan. 16 and a club team from Kaoshiung on Jan. 18.
Bulpin has worked for Premiere League team Tottenham Hotspur, where he served as youth team coach and discovered current England international strikers Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe. He also had managerial stints in Singapore and Uzbekistan.
He vows to turn the nationals into an “organized team that pressures other teams, plays a high tempo and moves the ball quickly.”
