More basketball action shots of team Cocomangas during Barangay Namao’s Fiesta 09.

Cocomangas  loves to support the game of basketball at all levels from the young kids to the order blokes. Cocomangas supported Boracay’s under 21 basketball team at the annual fiesta at Barangay Namoa last September  09 by sponsoring the teams uniforms and paying all costs with transportation and food for the players . It was worth the sponsorship as the team played well and the young guns learned more about the game of basketball .The team was made up of Boracay’s best players which made it into the semi finals .

Unfortunately ,during the semi finals , the crowd got a little out of hand as several fans started to  fight . The Boracay Cocomangas team was forced to leave the Barangay for safety of the players and therefore lost the game to default .   It was an unfortunate situation .Hopefully next year the Barangay officials at Namoa will increase  the  security around the court-side.

Even though this tournament ended with default , Cocomangas will continue to support Boracay’s youth in basketball . Thanks to all the players for showing a lot commitment and determination during the games.Let’s do it again …

Yours Truly,
