The lads of father and son coaching tandem of Wilbert and Marc Racines were undefeated from the elimination enrolee to the championship. They won over Lianga 6-1, and Crocs Davao 2-0 in the elimination round and then whipped Holy Cross of Camp Philips, Bukidnon, 3-1, in the semis to advance to the final.
But the great applause of the night went to the son of football supporters Regner and Mercy, Josh Go. The former National U16 team player was the key player in all their matches winning the MVP award.

However, the greatest applause of the night was reserved for goalkeeper Andre Ebuña, son of another football fanatic Pinky Ebuña, who was named to represent the Philippines in the 2019 Allianz Explorer Camp in Munich, Germany.
He was selected by select members of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), coaches, organisers and sponsor Allianz PNB Insurance Inc. (l.biantan@gmail.com)
