Host Bluejaz added the Under-14 boys title to its collection while the Davao Strikers was just too much
for the opposition in the girls side at the close of the Cherifer Kids Beach Football Tournament at the
Bluejaz Resort and Waterpark in the Island Garden City of Samal.

Bluejaz, which annexed the Under-12 title on Saturday, added the Under-14 boys title as the Middleton-
owned squads dominated the weekend event with two titles to their name. Bluejaz beat Black Knights
via shootout in the finals to win their second crown in two days.

“It’s a good sendoff to us as we go back to the States,” said Bluejaz owner Jazmin Middleton whose
two kids Christian and Erin played for the Bluejaz teams in the event sponsored by Cherifer PGM 10-22
Multivitamins.

Black Knights settled for runner-up honors while IRBU FC came in third.

In the girls division, Davao Strikers swept their four-game elimination assignment to bag the title
outright. Little Azkal standout Nina Arrieta won MVP honors for Davao Strikers. Lady Knights, a team
made up of Ateneo booters, settled for runner-up honors and SOS wound up third.

“We played seriously because we wanted to win as many games as we can. The girls played very well
and they defended well,” said coach Reynalyn Ravanes after her team scored four straight wins in the
eliminations.

Cherifer marketing officer for Mindanao Stef Perez awarded the trophies and giveaways along with Neil
Bravo of the organizing Bravetower Promotions.

The tournament, sanctioned by the Davao Football Association (DFA), attracted a record total of 38
teams for the Under-14, Under-12 and Under-10 categories.(pr)
