Solido cops U17 title in Butuan

Monday, May 28, 2012

THE Solido FC girl booters of Davao City lived up to their billing by copping the U17 title of the 2nd Balangay Football Festival at the Butuan City Sports Complex in Barangay Libertad over the weekend.

The Julio Orcasitas-coached Solido shutout the Malaybalay FC, 2-0, in the finals behind the goals of Janna Barcemo and Nina Arrieta in third and 17th minutes, respectively.

Solido also blanked the Manolo Fortich FC, 2-0, in the semis.

The champion squad came home with P5,000 and a trophy while Malaybalay FC settled with P3,500.

Barcemo was hailed most valuable player while Arrieta received the best defender award. Teammate Mary Joy Chavez was named best goalkeeper as Nina Yanto took the best striker title.

Completing the cast were Anika Ong, Sanaa Jikiri, Mary Joy Indac and Inah Rosales.

The Buboy Arrieta-managed Solido, however, bowed to Cagayan de Oro City's (CDO) JRFC via penalty shootout, 7-8, in women's open titular showdown.

Arrieta, in text messages to Sun.Star Davao, said her daughter Nina scored a goal at 16' to force a 1-1 deadlock en-route to the penalty shootout.

"Malas talaga. Naka-score pa ang CDO sa corner ng goalkeeper namin (It was unfortunate. CDO scored at our goalkeeper's corner)," Arrieta said.

JRFC took home the top purse and a trophy while Solido salvaged P3,500 and a trophy.

Joy Rivera of Solido was best defender.

The bootfest, hosted by the Butuan-Agusan Norte Football Association (Banfa) under president and Butuan City Vice Mayor Law Fortun, was part of the silver anniversary celebration of the Balangay Festival. (Ruji Peter S. Abat)

Thursday, May 24, 2012
THE Solido FC booters are set to keep their fiery form when they compete in the 2nd Balangay Football Festival at the Butuan City Sports Complex in Barangay Libertad this weekend.
This was bared by Solido Girls FC team manager Buboy Arrieta in an e-mail to Sun.Star Davao on Wednesday.

It can be recalled that the Julio Orcasitas-coached Solido bagged the two titles in the 8th Del Monte Cup in Bukidnon last month.
They followed it up with another sterling performance in the just-concluded Davao Summerfest 2012 Football Festival where they also swept two crowns.
The team will be bannered by Janna Barcemo, Nina Arrieta, Jhekai Ctla, Nina Yanto, Inah Rosales, Zian Anoya Rivera, Andrea Candari, Jennie Tevar, Cherry Mae Vilchez, Jj Matalam, Gabby del Fierro, Mary Joy Indac and Marice Magdolot.
The bootfest will feature the mixed U8, boys U10, boys U15, girls U17, boys U19, boys U23, women's open, men's open and the 35-up categories.
Some 100 teams from all over Visayas and Mindanao confirmed participation.
Cash prizes, trophies and medals are at stake for the winners. Special awards will also be given for the Best Striker, Best Goalkeeper and the Most Valuable Player in each division.
Hosted by the Butuan-Agusan Norte Football Association (Banfa) under its president and Butuan City vice mayor Law Fortun, the two-day competition is being organized as part of the silver anniversary celebration of the Balangay Festival and part of the grassroots development program of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF).

70 teams in Butuan Football Festival

BUTUAN CITY – An estimate of about 70 teams or a total of 700 hundred players from all over Mindanao are expected to attend and take part on the two day 2nd Balanghai Football Festival starting May 26, at the Butuan City Sports Complex.
This will be the second time for the Butuan – Agusan del Norte Football Association (BANFA) to host the said event, which they started last summer of 2011.
“Aside from the teams coming from the Caraga Region, there will be teams from Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental, Iligan, Bukidnon, Davao and Marawi. We want to make it a tradition to hold the Balanghai futbol festival every summer,” said Butuan City vice mayor Lawrence Fortun, who is also president of BANFA.
The vice mayor pointed out that the event primarily is for grassroots development since most of the categories are for the grassroots program, namely 8-under, 10-under, 13-under and 15-under.
“There will also be 17-under, 23-under and 35-up and open to both men and women players. This is a way to promote the sport especially here in Caraga and Butuan and to give our players some exposure by competing with different teams in Mindanao,” said Fortun.
Last year, players from the Philippine Azkals team namely Kim Relucio, 33, and Jerry Barbaso, 23, helped kicked off the event.
