SPRINGDALE completed a comeback to defend its secondary crown in the Cebu City Olympics.
Trailing 1-0, Springdale got its equalizer courtesy of Carlos Veloso and the 2007 champion went on to win by shootout.
However, DBTC coach Glen Ramos protested that the goal should have been disallowed as according to them, the ball went out of bounds.
Unfortunately for them, the referee stuck to his decision.
DBTC got its chance in the elementary division as it defeated Springdale to keep the crown.
I was informed last night that the Cesafi finals will be back to the original schedule at USC-TC, instead of the night games at CCSC.
THE University of the Visayas vs. University of San Jose-Recoletos finals will be played at the Cebu City Sports Center at night.
Though the move might give a little advantage to UV as CCSC is considered the home field, Cesafi wants to bring the finals closer to the fans.
“I know it is unlikely but we want to hold it in a venue where it is accesible to many. We hope more people will watch the finals,” Cesafi commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy told Sun.Star Cebu
