A BLOCKBUSTER showdown is expected to rock the Cebu Coliseum tonight as the Red Bull Barakos visit Cebu to take on the newly crowned Liga Pilipinas 1st Conference champions M. Lhuillier-Cebu Niños in an exhibition match set at 6 p.m.

Among the players to watch out for in Red Bull is Cyrus Baguio of Iligan City, who also had a short stint with the Southwestern (SWU) University Baby cobras before heading to the University of Santo Tomas (UST). Warren Ybanez and Fil-Am Mike Hrabak also trace their roots to Cebu.

The Niños just annexed the Liga Pilipinas title with a 3-0 thrashing of the Taguig Batang Global in their championship matchup. The Niños have played against San Miguel, Talk N' Text and Ginebra in the last two years but have not won in all three outings.

Tickets will be available at the gate for P 300.00 (ringside), P 200.00 (lower box), P 100.00 (upper box) and P 50.00 (general admission). /Correspondents Iste sesante Leopoldo and Jonas Panerio
