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.

THE Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) routed the Davao City National High School (DCNHS) Columbia, 8-2, to book a finals berth in the fifth Mayor Rody-Vice Mayor Inday Sara & Holcim Philippines Inter-High School Football Tournament.

With the victory, Ateneo arranged a championship showdown with the Emar Learning Center, which blanked Holy Child Red, 9-0.

Raymart Palabrica and Rocky Custodio scored in the 37' and 63', respectively, for DCNHS.

Emar, meanwhile, relied on Jomar Acedo and Alexis Dayondon, who combined for seven goals in their semifinals match.

Acedo scored in the 23', 43', 50' and 65'while Dayondon struck for goals in the 39', 58' and 74'. Imardino Polo (74') and Renz Rhey Napuran (29') pitched in one goal apiece.

The Ateneo-Emar finals clash is set on Sunday at 4 p.m. following the 2 p.m. battle for third between DCNHS Columbia and Holy Child Red.

The tournament is presented by Mayor Rodrigo and Vice Mayor Inday Sara Duterte in coordination with the Sports Development Division of the City Mayor's Office (SDD-CMO).

The meet is also supervised by the Davao Football Association (DFA).

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.”
