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.

Davao Football - DCNHS football on the rise anew

THE Davao City National High School (DCNHS) football team is on the rise again.

After 14 years of fruitless campaign, the DCNHS finally made its presence felt by finishing a strong third in the Mayor Rody R. Duterte-Vice Mayor Inday Sara Duterte and Holcim Philippines Inter-High School Football Tournament, which culminated last January 9 at the Tionko grounds.

DCHNS, supported by Columbia Computer Center, made it a double celebration after the team's captain, Rocky Custodio, was named best striker in the tournament. Custodio finished the league with 13 goals.

DCNHS Columbia, coached by Reynalyn Ranada-Ravanes with Hersy Salmon, won third place honors after beating Holy Child School of Davao, 2-0, with Custodio and Gerard Bicañesa scoring the goals for the team.

UAAP Football

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.
