Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes gets off to a good start in Villar Cup Bacolod leg

Friday, November 14, 2008

Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes regained his old deadly form in his 11-5 conquest of youthful Mike "Tsoke" Takayama to lead opening round winners of the First Senate President Manny Villar Cup Bacolod Leg yesterday at the the Garden Royal Function Hall of Goldenfields Commercial Complex in Bacolod City.

However, Roberto "Pinoy Superman" Gomez, the reigning Villar Cup Davao leg kingpin fell short to another teen-ager Johann "Bubwit" Chua, 11-6, in one of the huge upsets recorded in the first of this four-day event.

The 54-year-old Reyes, one of the prize cue artists of sportsman/businessman Aristeo "Putch" Puyat, quickly raced to 7-1 lead against Takayama, one of the rising stars of Philippine billiards who is thrice younger than him.
