DAVAO CITY—A former member of the Ateneo de Davao University football team played clutch in the end game to carry the Far Eastern University Tamaraws junior football team to the championship against the tough Dela Salle University footballers in the UAAP junior football championship Thursday at the UP Diliman Football Field in Quezon City.
Ronmer Lei Cervantes Paciente, a member of the Barangay Maa-based Crocs Football Club, scored two goals, including the winning goal, in his team's 2-1 win over La Salle.
The championship is the 11th for the Tamaraws, who have dominated the UAAP junior varsity football team for a long time.
Aside from Paciente, four other Davao City-based players also helped the Tamaraws win the conference crown.
The four team members who trace their roots here and played well in the championship game are Kian Terrence Niu, Joerby Anito, Janfritz Llubit, and Gian Lucha.
Although new to the team, the Davao City footballers have shown their Manila counterparts that they are a valuable asset to the team's title retention success. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
