Harbor Pilot’s Ranran Abdilla and Rancel Varga ran away with their second straight Beach Volleyball Republic on Tour men’s championship by sweeping the Sipalay City leg Sunday at the Poblacion Beach.
Solid as ever, Abdilla and Varga topped Toto de Pedro and Eljhay Ronquillo of Abanse Negrense, 21-15, 21-11, for a perfect 5-0 record.
What made their title win much sweeter was that they won all their matches without dropping a set.
Grass to Bone’s Honey Grace Cordero and Roma Joy Doromal also went undefeated in five women’s matches after fending off Abanse Negrense’s Bea Tan and Jennifer Cosas, 21-15, 21-17, in the finale.
Following up their Candon City conquest, Abdilla and Varga beat Ateneo’s Amil Pacinio and Jian Salarzon, 21-12, 21-10, in the semifinals, right after pulling off a 21-10, 21-6 romp of Allaine Tejares and John Carl Araneta of D’Prints, in the quarterfinals.
The 6-foot-4 Abdilla now has six BVR on Tour titles on his belt, while Varga took home his fourth gold.
It was Cordero and Doromal’s first-ever BVR on Tour championship as partners. Cordero, the UAAP Season 85 Rookie of the Year from NU, placed second with her partner Bianca for Bacolod in last week’s Candon City leg.
Doromal, on the other hand, missed the semifinals with Cherilyn Sindayen as her partner.
