Ateneo de Davao University pocketed two titles to rule the first ever Sweet Spot Ice Cream Kids Football Festival before a big holiday crowd at the Davao Crocodile Park Field.

Ateneo prevailed in the Players 8 and Boys 10 divisions while most of its players, representing club teams, also carried their teams to the championship in the higher categories of this tournament organized by Bravetower Events Promotions and sponsored by Davao-made Sweet Spot Ice Cream.

The Players 8 division finals saw an all-Ateneo finals as the Matina-based Blue Knights went on a 1-2 finish. Southpoint wound up third. In the Boys 10, Ateneo beat SWAT for the title while South took third place.

Ateneo could have made it three in a row but Sakya FC prevented an Ateneo triple with a win in the Boys 12 division over the Blue Knights. Kyutskals finished third.

In the nightcap, fancied IRBU bucked an earlier loss to pocket the Boys 14 title at the expense of AVM in an exciting finish played under lights. Black Knights finished 3rd. In the Girls 14, Solido FC took home the unique ice cream shaped trophy designed by local artists.

Sweet Spot Ice Cream owners Dino and Bianca Dizon promised more kids tournaments in the future with the successful staging of the festival.

“We’re happy to see a big crowd like this and we sure will continue to bring football festivals here,” said Dino Dizon, the football-playing co-owner of Sweet Spot Ice Cream.

Supporting the tournament are El Gato Restaurant, Maxima Aqua Fun Resort, Mindanao Travel Channel, Davao Football Community and the Davao Football Association.(pr)
