THE Cebu Football Under-14 Team is off to a good start after stamping its first win in the PFF Regional Festival of Football yesterday in San Carlos City.

It won its match against Negros Occidental Football Association, 1-0, courtesy of a goal from Don Bosco booter Angelo Ouano in the fifth minute of the match.


“Overall, the boys really played well,” said head coach Jong Perez.

The Cebu team dominated the ball possession of the game and had a number of goal chances but unfortunately failed to convert.

“They are now communicating well and I am confident he will see them improve more in upcoming games,” said Perez.

Perez added he will have to train his boys more in finishing plays because they were ahead in ball possessions but missed their chances in getting more goals.

The team now has three points and they will try to continue the winning streak as they play Iloilo today at 2:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Cebu Football Under-13 team dropped its first match against NOFA, 2-1, in the first match but was able to pull a 1-1 draw against the same team in the second meeting.

Since only CFA and NOFA were able to send a girls team in the regional tournament, the two teams need to meet four times to determine the champion based on the league type format.
