Tchoukball gains
ground in Bacolod

Team Philippines beat defending champion and Asia powerhouse Singapore, 32-31, in the final game to capture the crown in the 2nd Southeast Asia Tchoukball Championships in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

Though relatively new to the sport, Team Philippines has shown its strength and gained the respect of the Asian countries that have been playing the game for years, Philippine Tchoukball Federation official Jose “Boy” Montalbo said in a press conference yesterday.

He said the victory in Vietnam augurs well for the country’s hosting of the 5th Asia Pacific Tchoukball Championships slated on August next year at the West Negros University Gym in Bacolod City.

Salvacion clouters
pace Murcia tourney

Barangay Salvacion softball team routed Barangay Zone 1, 11-7, to register its fourth win in five outings and take the lead against five other sides in the 2nd Mayor Andrew L. Montelibano Men’s Softball Cup in Murcia town.

The latest victory of the Ramiro Alintano-mentored batters strengthened their bid for the crown after blanking Hacienda Carmen, 6-0, and trouncing Hacienda Beri, 7-2 in separate encounter.

Skippered by Arnel Martinez, Salvacion also turned back Hacienda Binitin, 8-3, to remain on top of the team standings despite a 6-4 loss to Purok Sunrise in the earlier rounds.

Semis duels start
in Albee Cup

Victorias cagers will try to beat the Talisay Green Dragons twice to earn the right of facing early finalist Silay as the semifinal round in basketball’s 40-Up division of the 1st Palarong Tercer Distrito Cong. Albee Cup starts today in Talisay, the press release said.

Best-of-three championship series between the top two teams is scheduled on November 9, 12 and 13.

In the quarterfinals last weekend, Talisay improved its record by beating EB Magalona, 110-94, while Victorias registered another victory against Murcia.
