MEMBERS of the recent Philippine Football Federation-Suzuki U23 National Cup champion Negros-Ceres team will front the Ceres Section as it goes up against visiting Pachanga Football Club of the United Football League in a goodwill match set 3pm today at the Panaad Park and Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
Among these U23 team mainstays are keeper John Robert Mendoza, Aldrin Dolino, Jason Cordova, Jose Emmanuel Diel, Fil-Am Joshua Beloya, J Baguioro, Joven Bedic, Carlo Tacusalme, Camelo Tacusalme and Gino Palomo.
Also in the squad are commercial league players keeper Michael Casas, Fredrick Jan Serios, Eliseo Palomo Jr., Rolando Ian Treyes, Hemerson Campp, Ruben Doctora, Jelsor Soriano, Archie Familiar and Patrick Martir.
The Ceres team will be mentored by Fredie ‘Nene’ Lazarito, assisted by Ali Go and Ramon Janeo. Leo Rey Yanson will be the team’s manager.
According to Janeo, this goodwill match is part of Pachangas’ preparation for the upcoming tournament in the United Football League (UFL), the country’s biggest commercial football league.
Pachanga FC is headed by its chairman Freedy Razon Gonzalez.
Janeo stressed that this is a great opportunity for football fanatics in Bacolod as well as in the province to witness top caliber games featuring home team Ceres and the visiting squad from UFL.
Pachanga FC is one of the eight teams vying for the title in the first Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Smart Clubs Championships scheduled August 9-13.
The success of the regular 9-a-side football tournaments, bankrolled by the Yanson brothers and played at the Ayala North Point pitch in Talisay City, has gained the respect of Manila-based football squads seeing action in the UFL.
Among the top teams in this league are Kaya Futbol Club, Global Smartmatic, Air Force Rider and Army Fritz Macziol IBM, the mother clubs of several members of the Philippine Men’s Football Team-Azkals. (JSG)
