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.
