Local bets to test mettle vs Japanese team

Local teams will be marching clueless when they battle Kobe Shinwa Women’s University in the final round of the Belo Philippine Superliga (PSL) Invitational Conference starting Thursday at the FilOil Flying V Center in San Juan.

Seasoned coaches Shaq Delos Santos of Petron and George Pascua of Cignal admitted they have not scouted the fancied Japanese squad, which will serve as the fourth team in the race to the crown of this prestigious club tourney bankrolled by Asics, Mikasa, Senoh and Mueller with TV5 as official broadcast partner.
