Cebu Landmaster battles Red Oilers

MANILA, Philippines - Expansion team Cebu Landmaster-Mandaue takes its turn to host a Liga Pilipinas Conference III leg as it plays Quezon at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Center in Mandaue City tonight.

The hosts battle the Red Oilers at 6 p.m. after the 4 p.m. encounter between Forward Taguig and Zamboanga.

Cebu-Mandaue is coming off a long break after finishing third in the Misamis Oriental leg that last Sept. 12 and is raring to show its worth with three weeks left in the tour elims.

The team of businessman Joe Soberano has eight Liga points with two legs to play for a share of seventh with GenSan, which already completed its four-leg schedule two weeks ago. 

The Red Oilers have 23 points for joint fourth with the idle Trace-Laguna Stallions.

To bolster its bid, Mandaue has added guard Boyet Bautista and forward JR Aquino to the roster that already boasts of shooters Jercules Tangkay, Jerome Cenita and Jett Latonio, guards John Paul Alcaraz, Alex Cainglet and Ronald Bucao. Also in the fold are Enrico Llanto, Rino Berame, Danny Aying, Mannie Gabas, Francis Mercado and Joel Solis.
