Bacolod football - WNU pockets 7th NOPSSCEA football crown

DEFENDING champion West Negros University nailed its 7th straight NOPSSCEA men’s football title last Monday at the Panaad Sports and Recreational Park pitch in Barangay Mansilingan when it defeated arch rival University of St. La Salle, 4-2. Scoring for the Norman Fegidero Jr. mentored Wesnecans were James Braga and Lemuel Unabia with 1 apiece and Gino Palomo with 2 goals.

WNU actually lost, 4-2, also to USLS in their previous encounter, while they also nipped University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos, 1-0, last Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Bacolod City National High School pitch courtesy of the lone goal by former RP team campaigner Joeven Bedic. The members of the victorious WNU squad managed by WNU Committee on Sports Management & Development chairman Anthony Carlo Agustin are: Wilson Muñoz, Randy Bayquin, Lemuel Unabia, Camelo Tacusalme, Jilsor Soriano, Mark Ferrer, Jherne Vergara, Jake Morallo, James Braga, Gino Palomo, Joeven Bedic, Jayme Poderoso, Rodney Cornel, Ryan Lirio, Jokko Centino, Rudolf Bebanco, Femar Suganob, Mark Posadas and Ian Combate.

The Wesnecans are currently preparing for their campaign in the 2009 National University Games in Iloilo City to be hosted by Central Philippine University on October 24-30. The team leaves for the UniGames this Friday, Fegidero told Sun.Star Bacolod in a telephone interview yesterday. The Wesnecans will be missing the services of several standouts in the team who helped in their UniGames campaign last year, among them being former RP team midfielder Robert Cañedo and Carlo Tacusalme who already served out their playing years.
