EIGHT TEAMS will be competing in the Cebu 10s International Rugby Festival slated tomorrow at the Aboitiz Sports Field beside Makro.

Two of the teams will be flying over from Hong Kong—the Tyloon Pigs and URFC H5N1’s. Four will be coming from Manila—Nomads, Nomads Carabaos, Alabang Eagles and Barbarians. The remaining two teams are coming from Cebu—the Cebu Dragons and Cebu Low Flying Dragons.

“One of the reason why we are having this tournament is because we want to generate interest in the sport of rugby here in Cebu,” tournament committee secretary Damien Allison said.

The one-day tournament is organized by the Cebu City Rugby Club and was made possible by platinum sponsors ML Kwarta Padala and Overgaard Ltd. Gold sponsors are the Gustavian Restaurant and the out of Africa restaurant

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Operation Restore Hope. /Correspondent Iste Leopoldo
