“Mas masarap ang panalo ngayon dahil league-leading ‘yung team na tinalo namin.” – FEU’s Andrei Ruiz

PROVING it’s a force to reckon with, Far Eastern University humbled league-leading Saint Clare Colleges via a 2-1 decision and racked up eight out of nine maximum points to gain solo second in the National Collegiate Billiards League over the weekend at the Star Billiards Center in Quezon City.

Riding the crest of a 3-0 sweep of listless Don Bosco-Mandaluyong in their first match, the Tamaraws exposed chinks on the Saints’ armor behind another sterling performance from Andrei Ruiz who handed Ritchy Gogo his first loss in 9-ball play via a 7-4 count. The tandem of Mark Lacey and Danrisse Inductivo had earlier given FEU a 1-0 edge when they beat Richard Fernandez and Vennis Mariano 5-4 in 8-ball doubles.

Ellezer Castillo, still undefeated in 10-ball play, prevented an FEU shutout win by drubbing Lacey 7-4 as the Saints kept the lead with 29 points in the tourney backed by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Accel and Negros Billiards Stable.

The Tamaraws ended the day with a 3-0 triumph over a no-show Centro Escolar University and improved their match point total to 28 points in the tourney also supported by H2O Hotel, Manila Ocean Park, Malungai Life Oil, Niknok Pritson Manok, Hermes Sports Bar, Human Plus Probiotics, Star Billiards Center, Brunswick, The Philippine STAR, Bugsy Promotions and Mediacom.

B-league is the first-ever collegiate billiards league in the country.

Keep posted as we bring you the latest update on this tournament.
