Solido FC: Kings of Croc Field


In a bizarre end to a drama-filled Crocodile Park Night Football League, Solido FC captured the overall title on a night they crashed out in the eliminations along with their bitter rivals Metro TMS.
 
The night started with both Solido FC and Metro TMS on collision course for a much-anticipated encounter that will determine the overall champion of this football trilogy. However, all that banished with a few matches left in the third leg’s elimination round as Solido, with only two wins to show in six elimination matches, bowed out first from a semis appearance that would have given them a psychological edge for the overall title.
 
For a fleeting moment, the title frenzy crept into the nerves of Metro TMS which needed only two draws in their final two matches in the eliminations round. Instead of playing to secure two draws, Metro TMS got all carried over with the prospects of snatching the title away from Solido and instead drew one but lost their final outing to Phl Rabies-Med Juris in a painful twist of fate that also booted them out of the semis and the title picture.
 
With Metro TMS also gone, Solido rolled out the celebration. Here’s a team which lost out of the semis but still got plenty to spare to take home the prestigious Crocodile Cup, a real crocodile head stuffed with a football, and the bragging rights as Kings of the Croc Field.
 
Solido FC team captain Boboy Arrieta, who had to attend to a business engagement and failed to suit up, arrived at a time when his team was going down. He watched intently from the sidelines hoping for a miracle. For a team leader, that was the hardest thing to do—just pray the other teams won’t catch up with you and not even suit up.
 
“I was already thinking wala na talaga. But then suddenly the guys came celebrating after the matches in the other field,” said Arrieta. “It feels great.”
 
“We played very tight, we did not have fun out there. Pus there are the defensive lapses we committed,” Metro TMS playing coach Eric Sedighpour said. “We will come back next time.”
 
Solido ended the football trilogy organized by Bravetower Events Promotions and Davao Crocodile Park with 95 points. They won the second leg and finished second in the first leg to Metro TMS which finished second overall with 85 points. Alia Orange took advantage of the ouster of Solido and Metro TMS to take home the third leg and end up at third overall with 70.
 
Belisario, Phl Rabies-Med Juris and Kingfisher tied for fourth with 55 points. KMMPC (45) finished 5th while FC Soriente and Club 34 (40) tied for 6th. Rounding up the standings are Fil-Chi, Central United, UIC, UM and DMMA.
 
Fil-Dutch Bayani Vandenbroek, German Dietmar Speckmaier and team captain Josef Montalan scored one goal each for Alia Orange to frustrate Kingfisher, a team composed of foreign students in Davao, in the third leg finale of this first ever night football tournament at the Davao Crocodile Park football field.
 
“We look forward to holding more tournaments here. We are thankful to the clubs for their support,” said Neil Bravo of the organizing Bravetower Events Promotions.(pr)

Solido back with a vengeance, takes Croc League 2nd leg


Solido FC came back with a vengeful night and all of a sudden found themselves perched on top of the
standings in the 2011 Davao Crocodile Park Croctoberfest Night Football League.

Solido’s youthful three-headed offensive line of Jed Diamante, Javi Romero-Salas and Miko Arrieta
proved to be the difference as the Orangemen took home the second leg title at the expense of surprise
finalist Belisario FC 2-0 at the DCP Field.

Romero-Salas opened up the scoring in the first half with a blast from 10 yards after a nifty pass from
fellow Little Azkal Diamante. In the second, Romero-Salas returned the favour and Diamante booted
home another marker for the final score line.

Everyone was expecting another Metro TMS-Solido finale after the bitter rivals which disputed the title
in the first leg last week once again topped their respective groups. First leg champion Metro TMS easily
topped Group A with wins against a loss while Solido finished on top of Group B with 3 wins, 2 draws
and 1 loss. FC Soriente (4-1-1) and Belisario (3-1-2) completed the semis cast.

But in a surprise twist, Metro TMS gave up two successive goals late in the match to bow down to
Belisario. Solido meantime beat Soriente to advance to their second straight finals appearance.

“Hard work paid off for us. I hope we can sustain our momentum for the third and final leg,” said Buboy
Arrieta, Solido FC team captain.

Thus, after two legs Solido overtook Metro TMS on top of the standings with 85 points in this football
trilogy organized by the Davao Crocodile Park and Bravetower Events Promotions. Metro TMS dropped
to second overall with 75. Belisario climbed to third overall with 35 followed by Black Knights-KMPPC
with 35, Phl Rabies and Soriente (30).

Club 34, Kingfisher, UIC, DMMA, UM CAE, Alia Orange, and Central United are tied with 20 points while Fil-Chi has 10.

A total of 14 squads are entered in the tournament sanctioned by the Davao Football Association and
supported by the Davao Football Community. The final leg will be on Friday night with the overall
champion receiving the rare Crocodile Cup made up of real crocodile head.(pr)
