PhilBoxing.com


The Atty. Jeah Gacang backed Toledo Xignex Trojans squad defeated Camarines Soaring Eagles, 16.5 - 4.5, 14.5 -6.5, to grab the South crown of the PCAP Season 4 Second Conference dubbed as SGM Wesley So Cup, played Saturday night, November 2, via chess.com platform.

The Toledo-Xignex Trojans successfully defended their throne as the Southern Division champion of the Professional Chess Association of the Philippines (PCAP).

The Trojans edged Soaring Eagles in the first match, a 4.5-2.5 victory in the blitz and a 12-2 triumph in their rapid encounter.
In the second match, Trojans edged Soaring Eagles, 4.5-2.5, in the blitz game as well in their rapid encounter, 10-4.

Bannered by GMs Aleksey Sorokin and Rogelio Antonio Jr., IMs Kim Steven Yap, Joel Pimentel, Rico Mascarinas and Angelo Young, WIM Kylen Mordido, WFM Cherry Ann Mejia and FM Ellan Asuela, Allan Pason, Diego Abraham Caparino and Virgen Gil Ruaya advanced to the National Finals for the third consecutive time where they will face the Manila Loadmanna Knights, who bagged the North title after beating the San Juan Predators,16-5 and 13.5-7.5.

"I couldn't be prouder of the team's strong finish in the Division Finals. We're still pushing toward the Grandfinals but we've already made history as the first undefeated team- a milestone that no other PCAP team has ever achieved so far. Winning the Southern Division title is a tough journey and the road to becoming the grand champion is even tougher. One of our best decisions is welcoming Jose Rafael "Jojo" Legaspi who has done so much for us and introduced valuable new insights. I also want to thank my fellow pillar in the team, John Signe for his unwavering support which has been essential to our journey. I must say, the team has grown tremendously thanks to their guidance and to our incredibly talented and dedicated teammates, whose commitment and hardwork drive our success every step of the way. Even with this record, we won't be complacent. We'll stay focused on our ultimate goal," said Trojans team manager Atty. Jeah Gacang.

PCAP, the country’s first play-for-pay league, is headed by President- Commissioner Atty. Paul Elauria, Chairman Michael Angelo Chua, Treasurer Atty. Arnel Batungbakal and technical committee head Engr. Jojo Buenaventura.

Games are sanctioned by the Games and Amusements Board (GAB), headed by chairman Atty. Francisco Rivera.-Marlon Bernardino-
