One more time

As expected, top cue artists Rubilen Amit and Cheska Centeno disposed of their respective foes in the semifinals of the 29th Southeast Asian Games 9-ball tournament, Saturday evening in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

And this is a rematch of the 2015 SEA Games final in Singapore that saw then-15-year-old Centeno rally back against Amit, winning gold 7-5.

Centeno, a native of Zamboanga City, prevailed over Klaudia Djajalie of Malaysia, 7-2, while Amit, 35, clobbered Suhana Dewi Sabti of Malaysia, 7-1.

Amit is looking to win her fifth SEA Games gold, while Centeno is hoping to defend her crown.

The All-Filipina final will take place on Sunday, August 27.
