IT may have been a month delayed but the win is still as sweet.

The Cebu International School defeated Paref Springdale, 2-1, to finish third in the Aboitiz 12 Under Cup at the San Roque Parish football grounds last Sunday.

The match, which was supposed to be played last month, was moved to Sunday since CIS played in the Alaska Cup.

Emmanuel Cunningham scored both goals for CIS in the 7th in 29th minute while Karl Arcenas banged in the lone goal for Springdale.

Meanwhile the Aboitiz 15 Under final promises to be a slam bang affair after Hiroshi and Sprindale blanked separate foes to set up a grudge rematch. Hiroshi lost to Sprindale, 0-1, in the elimination round.

Last Sunday, Hiroshi scored three late goals in its 3-0 rout of Blessed John XXIII Seminary while Springdale got an early gift after DBC scored an own goal for its 3-0 win.

In Bacolod City, the place to go is Draft — it is where sporty people and people in sports hang out, as shown by these photos. Of course, on second thought, we could have clobbered the Malaysian player…but hey, you win some, you lose some.

BACOLOD CITY — Thailand is simply on a class of its own — winning its seventh straight Southeast Asian Games (Seag) football crown after whipping Vietnam, 3-0 in the finals Monday night at the Panaad Park and Stadium.

On the other hand, Malaysia defeated Indonesia, 1-0 in a hotly-contested battle for the bronze that had Indonesian coach Peter Withe storming the pitch after a disputed non-call by the referee.

It was the same referee who called the shots for the RP-Malaysia game.

According to a football volunteer, a fuming Withe stormed the official and didn’t stop haranguing him until the official got to their room. After wards, Withe had to be stopped by officials from getting near the referee again.

Witnesses say that Malaysia committed two handballs in injury time inside their own penalty box that could have swayed the game in Indonesia’s favor.

In the final, teeratep Winothai scored three goals to give Thailand’s its seventh straigth title.

Bacolod City — Powerhouse Thailand goes for an unprecedented seventh straight title when they meet Vietnam in the final of the 23rd Southeast Asian Games.

For the bronze medal, Indonesia will play Malaysia.

Who will win? Will the Thais return triumphant or will Vietnam start a shift in the balance of power in the Seag?

BACOLOD City — The Philippines may have lost to Malaysia, 2-4, and its campaign in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games (Seag) prematurely ended, but that deosnt stop the fans from having a party.
