THE rain-soaked Karika grassroots football cup on May 30 literally produced champions out of the mud at the Melvin Jones Football grounds.
Two Goshen Land Football Teams ruled two age group divisions in the rain or shine grassroots football tournament.
The 12 and under Palaro-Goshenland football team defeated the famed Baguio Cinderella Ladies' Team (2-0), Pinsao Football Team (7-0),and the New Life Football Team (8-0) in the 7-aside monthly tournament semi-finals.
Led by 12-year-old team captain Mike Arbella, and coached by former Ateneo football team player Gatan Dalang, the team blanked out Pinsao in the finals with a whopping 5-0 score.
The Goshen Land-Palaro team banded together again in last week's tournament after their stint in the Palarong Pambansa.
