CEBU – Trisha and Carl and the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau (CIIB) booted out separate foes to set up a championship showdown in the Labangon Youth Association (LAYA) 1st Ritchie Osmeña Cup at the Labangon Sports Complex.
Trisha and Carl escaped with a 65-61 win over Lola Carmen Chicharon in the crossover semis, while CIIB led by Police Supt. George Ylanan booked the remaining final ticket with a 70-60 drubbing of the Green squad.
The two survivors will clash tonight for the coveted title in a winner-take-all affair, while the losers will slug it out for the third place honors.

Noel Medalle’s 24-point for Lola Carmen went for naught.
Roy Veloso fired 25 points for CIIB, while Ylanan, the CIIB chief, added 10 points.
