NFL 2012 Season kicks off Jan. 29 By Jerome S. Galunan Jr. PhilBoxing.com Thu, 05 Jan 2012  BACOLOD CITY - The North Football League (NFL) 2012 Season is set to kick off on January 29, 2012 at the Ayala North Point football pitch in the Talisay City, Negros Occidental. This was confirmed yesterday by tournament commissioner Ramon Janeo, stating that the schedule of tournament?s opening is set on this date to give way for the 1st Negros First Men's Football Championships finals which is January 21. Likewise, this will also give the Ceres Liner FC, a title contender in this league and which players are also playing in the NFL, to prepare for the possible finals? appearance. Meanwhile, Janeo said that this season, NFL will keep the six teams competing in the tournament, namely, the defending champion Ceres Transport FC, 1st runner-up Dynamic Builders FC, 2nd runner-up Talisay-Minuluan FC, 3rd runner-up Trimaxi-Agro FC, Real Negrense FC and the Las Buenas FC. Dynamic Builders FC is expected to go out strong to avenge their 2-1 loss in the last year?s 3rd Conference finals against the Ceres Transport FC. The Transport?s win foiled the Builders? grand slam bid in that tournament. On the other hand, on the proposed banning players seeing action in the United Football League as well as current university players, Janeo stressed that the suggestion to ban UFL standouts in this league was disapproved. Thus, allow the teams to keep these players, who likewise suite up in different teams in the UFL, remain in their respective rosters. However, the tournament official said that unlike the UFL players, current university mainstays are disallowed to join the league. Among those players who are playing in the NFL as well as in the mentioned leagues are Trimaxi?s FJ Serious (Pachanga FC/UFL) and Dynamic FC Jason Cordova (Stallion FC/UFL), as well as newly drafted Lemuel Unabia (Green Archers United FC/UFL) and Kenneth Doloso (Pachanga FC/UFL). Unabia is a member of the defending PFF-Suzuki Cup U23 national Cup champion Ceres-Negros U23 while Dolloso is a former West Negros University standout and National Coke Go-for-Goal U16 National Finals Best Goalkeeper awardee. He was also part of the Wesnecan team who won the 2006 NOFA provincial futsal championship at the Negros Occidental Multi-Purpose Activity Center and a former member of the U20 and U21 Philippines Men's national football team. Meanwhile, the schedule of games will be determine a week before the tournament as drawing of lots will be set either on January 19 or 20, said Janeo.
