SHSJ TAKES 2ND PLACE IN ALASKA CUP
The Sacred Heart School Jesuit Football Club (SHSJ FC) grabbed second place of the Boys 10 age group at the Alaska Cup Football Festival Sunday at the Alabang Country Club in Muntinlupa City.
The SHSJ FC lost to Tamasak Football Club of football hotbed Barotac Nuevo Iloilo, 1-2, in a penalty shoot-out in a nail-biter of a championship game. The game ended 1-1 in regulation with Gani Fernandez scoring the first goal of the game for SHSJ FC in the first half. Tamasak, however, came back strong in the end game, scoring the equalizer with three minutes left in the game. With both teams tired after a long day of football, no other goals were scored and the championship was decided through a penalty shoot-out.
The runner-up finish proved to be a memorable achievement for SHSJ FC which was making its first appearance at this annual football festival that drew teams from all over the country.
SHSJ FC dominated its group in the elimination round, sweeping the opposition. It defeated Brent, 4-2, then followed this up with an 8-0 trashing of Brightwood, another 8-0 win over Las Pinas, a 5-1 win over Makati Football Club, and a close 4-3 victory over Faith Academy.
Next up was the quarterfinal round where SHSJ FC crushed Don Bosco Pampanga, 5-1. They then met a familiar foe in Cebu International School in the semifinals, winning 3-1, before capping the day by facing off against the eventual champions.
SHSJ FC also sent a team to play in the Boys 12 division where it placed second in its group in the elimination round with a 2-1-1 record or seven points. This however, wasn’t good enough to make it to the playoffs. They defeated Learning Center (3-0) and Brent School (5-0). They were held to a draw by Faith Academy (1-1), and lost a heartbreaker to La Salle Antipolo, 2-3.
Over-all, the Manila trip proved to be a productive learning experience for the boys who were making their second trip to Manila this year. SHSJ FC participated in the RIFA Cup last January, winning the Boys 10 age group championship (boys born 1997). The club also bagged two other top three finishes at the RIFA Cup, taking third place in both the Boys 95 and 96 age groups.
