PhilBoxing.com



Steve Nash Enriquez.
CEBU, Philippines - Cebuano basketball fans will be treated with a classic entertainment when two collegiate teams from Manila clashes each other in a two-day special match to be held in two cities of Cebu.

As part of their respective preparation for the forthcoming seasons, the National University (NU) Bulldogs of the UAAP and the multi-titled San Beda Red Lions of NCAA is set to meet on February 25, 2023 (Saturday) in Toledo City's Mega Dome in what is billed as the much-awaited encounter.

The following day, Sunday, February 26, their rivalry will be shifted to the City of Bogo hosted by no less than former Bogo Mayor Celestino Martinez Sr. who is a former varsity player of the University of San Carlos (USC) Warriors.

What spiced up in these matches is the presence of some Cebu's homegrown talents who are now donning the Red Lions and the Bulldogs jersey, respectively.


LA Casinillo.

Cebuano guards - Steve Nash Enriquez, L.A. Casinillo and John Galinato - will take care of NU's backcourt area while Gabriel Cometa, a former UV Lancer himself, is expected to direct plays for San Beda teaming up with former USJ-R bigman Clifford Jopia in both ends of the floor.

On the other hand, Enriquez who hails from Minglanilla, Cebu is the nephew of the late Woodrow Enriquez, one of Cebu's finest guards. He now slowly makes his name in the national scene.
Casinillo is also a former MVP awardee when he last played for Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu Magis Eagles in Cesafi's high school division. His father Leo who is also a basketball trainor is now based in United Kingdom.


John Galinato.

For his part, Galinato, is the son of Abe Galinato, also a former varsity/commercial player in Cebu. The young Galinato has just bagged the MVP award in the recently-concluded Chooks-to-Go Sinulog Cup in Cebu City.

Businessman/Sportsman Lorenzo "Chao" Sy who is responsible for bringing this event in Cebu said the two teams will arrive on February 24.

CAPTION: Cebuano players who will see action in the forthcoming much awaited encounter between San Beda Red Lions and National University (NU) Bulldogs in Toledo City and City of Bogo. They are LA Casinillo, Steve Nash Enriquez, John Galinato of NU Bulldogs and Gabriel Cometa, Clifford Jopia of San Beda Red Lions.
