THE QUEEN City United added two former University of San Jose-Recoletos Jaguars to its lineup for this Cebu Inter-Club Invitational Tournament set on April 28 to May 6 at different football fields in the city.

Queen City, coached by Mario Ceniza signed up Hentjie Ruiz, who played for national champion Bacolod in the 2006 Philippine Football Federation National Men’s Open and goalkeeper Jesus Singson Jr.

Queen City, the host club in the tournament, is boosting its lineup to bolster its chances of winning the Men’s Open of the Inter-Club and the cool P45,000 winner-take-all purse.

The club has also signed up striker Ronald Loayon, who once scored seven goals for Metropolitan against FC Lapu-Lapu in the Aboitiz League Division B.

Completing the offensive force for Queen City are Eleazar Toledo, formerly of San Roque FC, Dexter Arrojado and Marlon Rey Baring, who also scored five goals for Queen City against FC Lapu-Lapu.

The club has also combined youth with their veterans after Ceniza’s former wards at Carmen National School, Martin Bontia, Josapahat Sacil, Ivan Dimco, Jack Reston, Agustin Bardinas and Ronald Mahilum joined the team.

Striker and former Carmen mainstay Junard Aguilar is staying with Hiroshi FC, who are also set to see action in the Inter-Club, its first tournament in Cebu since the aborted semifinal against Crazy Horse in the Thirsty Cup last year.

The other Cebu team in the six-team Men’s Open is Hapee, coached by former national team mainstay Glen Ramos, while expected to give the home teams a run for their money are visitors West Negros College and Dumaguete.

“On paper, WNC is the best team and they also have Oliver Colina with them, while I’m not so sure with Dumaguete since I don’t know its lineup yet,” Ceniza said.

Colina, who is also from San Roque, was part of the Under-23 national team training pool last year.
