(This report by Cheska D. Geli will appear in Sun.Star Cebu on Jan. 21)
QUEEN City United drew its opening match in the United Football League Division 2, 1-1, against Diliman Victory Liner at artificial turf at Global City,

Coach Mario Ceniza said playing in the artificial turf for the first time was a unique experience for Queen City and the players were not used to it.

After conceding a goal in the first minute, Queen City managed to regain their composure.

Nakalitan mi, pati ang mga players.  Maayo ning kontra kay nakaduwa na sila last time diri,� said Ceniza.

However, the early lead did not bother the revamp squad of QCU with new recruit Hanesin Prince Anthony converting a penalty in the 30th minute afte rJunard Aguilar was fouled.

�After that unexpected goal, the boys held their composure and focused on the game,� said Ceniza. �I commend the boys because they were not discouraged even if they conceded in the first minute, they fought back. They wanted to win but it was just very unlucky.�
