PERPETUAL Help seeks a second victory when it tackles Xavier School in the juniors division of the 2012 IPPCA Football Pre-Season Cup at Nuvali Field in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The Altalletes opened their campaign with an 11-2 stomping of the Letran Squires. But they are expected to have a tougher time against a Xavier team which is banking on a solid school-based program.
Two more games are on top in the weekends-only tournament with the Squires hoping to bounce back against the debuting Far Eastern U Baby Tamaraws, even as Holistic Education and Development Center battle the University of Santo Tomas Tiger Cubs.
The HEDC booters dropped a 0-1 decision to La Salle Green Hills two weeks ago.
With most of the teams still seeing action in the University Games, only one game is scheduled in the seniors division. Mapua and Emilio Aguinaldo College test each other’s mettle at 3 p.m. on Pitch No. 3. Cedelf P. Tupas
