Kanoa Football Club\u2019s Paulyn Joyce and TanHoldings\u2019 Kaithlyn Chavez are the main offensive threats for their respective squads as proven in the number of goals they have scored so far in the 2019 NMIFA Fall Youth League.<\/p>\n

Joyce collected 15 goals after Week 5 of the competition in the girls U16 age group to lead the division and the entire league. The Kanoa striker had her most goals (6) during their 8-3 triumph over MP United last Sept. 28. She logged 5 in their 11-4 victory against Matansa last Sept. 21 and four last Oct. 12 to lift Kanoa to a 5-2 win over TanHoldings.<\/p>\n

At close second with 14 goals is Shirley\u2019s Football Club\u2019s Katrina Costales, while Matansa\u2019s Jannah Casarino has scored nine goals, and TanHoldings\u2019 Rizza Relucio and MP United\u2019s Audrey Castro have seven apiece to round out the Top 5.<\/p>\n

The girls U16 division started the second round of the regular season last Saturday at the NMI Soccer Training Cenyer in Koblerville with each squad to play five more games to determine the fall champion and the winner of the Golden Boot trophy.<\/p>\n

Chavez is in a good position to win the trophy, as she has registered 11 goals, four more than Kanoa\u2019s Paul Lizama (excluding last Saturday\u2019s results). Chavez scored in all of TanHoldings\u2019 first four games in the co-ed U12 division, firing three apiece in their two games against MP United and versus Shirley\u2019s FC and two in their match opposite Kanoa.<\/p>\n

Joining Chavez and Lizama in the Top 5 are the latter\u2019s teammate Rigel Divey (6), MP United\u2019s William Lee (6), and the TanHoldings\u2019 Mark Costales (5).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the boys U18 division, MP United\u2019s John Michaej Rojas has scored six goals in four games to lead the group, while Kanoa\u2019s Andruw Omelau is lurking behind with his five goals. TanHoldings\u2019 Mark Esalan and Jonathan Capayas are not far behind with four and three goals, respectively, while MP United\u2019s Oliver Lee has also delivered three goals.<\/p>\n

In the boys U15 division, an MP United player is ahead, too with Andrew Chung getting seven so far. Kanoa\u2019s Jaydee Jose (4) is in second place and is closely followed by his teammates Brian Lubao, Markus Toves, Ruben Guerrero, and Jim Kurt Maniago, and Shirley\u2019s\u2019 Gabriel Arkoh, who have three apiece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
