CIS, Bright Academy blank foes in Aboitiz Cup

The Cebu International School (CIS) and Bright Academy blanked their respective opponents to start strong in the Aboitiz-CebuFA Boys-12 Football Cup yesterday.

Both CIS and Bright Academy posted an identical 9-0 winning mark.

CIS dumped the visiting FC-Inter Lapulapu as they came up with three goals in the first half and six more in the final half.

CIS never wasted time and tallied its first two goals right away with Ralph Jernalim banging one just two minutes down the game and followed by another one by Rowdy Elber a minute after.

Grant Sicard joined his two teammates in the scorers list after delivering a goal a minute left in the first half.

Thomas Booth had the first goal in the second half at the 28th minute for CIS and Sicard, who scored the third goal for CIS, went too hot to handle, producing a back-to-back goal in the 32nd and 36th minutes and the final goal in the last minute of the game.

Booth also scored another goal for CIS, five minutes before Sicard sealed the game.

On the other hand, Bright Academy had five in the opening half and four in the final half that left San Roque Football Club helpless.

Renko Guadiel broke the ice for Bright, five minutes in the action.

Jung Jae Lee came out unstoppable as well after making three goals in the eighth, 14th and 18th minute.

Kyle Knight also contributed two goals for Bright in the 16th minute and then the second one at the 35th minute of the final half.

Rainer Tan, Junichi Kuribayashi and Sebastian Dahlberg contributed a goal each in the 30th, 32nd and 47th minutes of the game, respectively.
