CEBU, Philippines - Defending boys 14-under champion Mandaue Technical Institute coasted to its second straight victory in as many starts in the 11th National Inter-Club Football Cup yesterday at the San Roque Parish Church field in Brgy. Subangdaku, Mandaue City.
MTI claimed Maria Montessori as its latest victim via a 6-1 thrashing to jack up its title retention campaign.

MTI's boys 17 counterparts, however, were not as lucky after losing to SHS-Ateneo de Cebu.
In the 40-above class, Queen City United-A beat sister-team QCU-B, 2-1, while Hiroshi FC demolished last year’s runner-up ERCO, 7-0.
QCU’s girls 17 squad, on the other hand, failed to meet expectations as it fell prey to the University of San Carlos-Technological Center (USC-TC), 3-0.
At PAREF-Springdale field in Brgy. Lahug, Canduman bounced back from an opening day setback and vented its wrath on Villa del Rio 2, 3-0, in the boys 12 division.
SHS-Ateneo de Cebu opened its bid in the boys 12 with a 7-0 whitewash of USC-North Campus, which also suffered a 0-5 beating from Danao Football Club earlier in the day.
