Malipayon kaayo ko nga na-champion mi even sa kagagmay sa ako mga players ug kadaghan nila og new set of players, said Baby Webmasters head coach Joever Brad Samonte. Nag-adjust pa ang mga bata sa ilang teammates pero ako gi-instill sa ilang mind nga modepensa ug maninguha gyud kay mao rana amo ticket sa kadaogan.
For now, nagkinahanglan pa gyud mi og daghan mga tournaments nga apilan in preparation sa CESAFI 2024 season aron magka-jell ang akoa new and old players, added Samonte.
