Will the Consolacion Sarok Weavers continue to weave magic? Or will the Minglanilla Archangels continue to soar?
Those questions will be answered beginning Sunday as the two squads start their best-of-three series for the overall crown of the 2017 Cebu Governor’s Cup Inter-Cities/Municipalities Basketball Tournament.
The two protagonists agreed that Game 1 will be held at the Minglanilla Sports Complex, while Game 2 will be hosted by the Sarok Weavers on July 5 at the Consolacion National High School Gym.

The games start at 7:30 p.m.
Consolacion and Minglanilla took different routes in reaching the Governor’s Cup Finals and contend not only for the coveted crown but also for the whopping P500,000 top purse.
Losing finalist will not go home empty handed as it will be taking P300,000 cash.
