Westbridge rule Mayor Treñas Football Festival
The Westbridge School football teams displayed remarkable performances to rule the Under-8 and Under-12 categories of the 1st Mayor Jerry P. Treñas Monthly Football Festival at the La Paz Plaza football field last July 29, 2006.
Westbridge School's Under-8 (Team A) captured the championship medal by defeating Brgy. Railway, 1-0, while the school's Under-12 (Team A) snatched the crown by nipping Brgy. Magsaysay, 2-1.
Westbridge Team A Under-8 booters topped the elimination round winning 4 games and drawing 1 in a field of 6 teams. The twice to beat advantage of Westbridge almost came to naught when Brgy. Railway won the first match of the Championship game, 1-0. In the winner take-all game, striker JJ Sainz scored the winning goal midway through the 10-minute game.
The Railway booters refused to yield easily as they repeatedly attempted to score a goal. However, the 5-man team of Westbridge was quick enough to kick the ball out to spoil every attempt of Brgy. Railway, thus preserving the lead and winning the championship game.
In the Under-12 Category, Justine Terazona and Mitch Tingson scored two early goals against Brgy. Magsaysay to propel Westbridge to sweep the two Championship games for this football festival.
This one day football festival is sponsored by the City Government of Iloilo and is participated by the following teams: Brgy. Divinagracia, La Paz; Brgy. Magsaysay, La Paz; Brgy. McArthur, La Paz; Brgy. Railway, La Paz; Brgy. PHHC Blk 22, Mandurriao; Jalandoni Elementary School; La Paz Elementary School I; Mandurriao Elementary School; and Westbridge School for Boys.
