7:30-8:00—CMO vs. Kolin-Emcor

League-leaders CMO and Kolin-Emcor part ways on Friday night to determine the top Group qualifier at the close of eliminations in the 1st Inday Sara-RVAI Invitational Cup basketball tournament at the Rivera Village Covered Court.

The match was originally scheduled Tuesday but heavy rains forced the postponement of the highly-anticipated match between two of the league’s remaining unbeaten squads.

The Air Condition Specialists are spotless with a 3-0 win-loss slate in Group A, the same record toted by the Mayor’s Men. Although the two teams are already assured of the Group’s berths to the crossover semis, the winner of the match will take the top spot and will meet the no. 2 team in Group B.

CMO will be relying on the return of sweet-shooting Bong Go, the mayor’s executive assistant, who missed CMO’s last outing against Wind and Wave. They will also bank on a solid back-up crew composed of Jason Tan, Dioven Braga, Boyet Brigoli and Bong Aleman.

The tournament is sponsored by Vice Mayor Inday Sara Duterte through the City Sports Development Office and the Rivera Village Association, Inc.

Meantime, RVAI Committee chairman Jet Calma announced that there will be an exhibition match between the RVAI Selection and the Sports For Peace squad made up mostly of sports media and officials.

“This early, we would like to express our thanks to Vice Mayor Indaya Sara Duterte for the support she has extended to our tournament. Hopefully, she can make it during the awarding ceremonies,” said Calma.(pr)
