Larimp rules PPSA Presidents Cup

Larimp Network Tech bagged the Punta Princesa Basketball Association (PPSA) President's Cup after breaking the hearts of J& B Defenders, 93-81, at the Pablo Atillo Sports Complex in Punta Princesa.

It was a tight action between Larimp and J&B but Larimp prevailed, earning a point advantage entering into the third canto, 46-45.

With bruised egos, J&B bounced back and showed Larimp what they've got with Keith Arellano, Nestor Salotorio and Art Arellano carrying most of the load to grab the lead, 60-55.

But Larimp got it back with Lando Tabalin pushing his team up, paving the way for his teammates to improve their performance.
