Two of the most powerful, most successful clubs in the country — Petron and F2 Logistics — essay another thrilling chapter to their storied rivalry when they clash in the sudden-death finals of the Philippine Superliga Invitational Conference today at the Ynares Sports Center in Pasig City.

Action starts at 6 p.m. with the Cargo Movers looking to add another diadem to their collection of titles while the Blaze Spikers are eager to complete their journey back to the throne of the most prestigious women’s club league in the country.

Prior to that, Foton and Cignal collide in the bronze medal match at 4 p.m.

Billed as the most decorated teams in the country today with 11 titles between them, the Cargo Movers and the Blaze Spikers will be clashing in the finals for a record seventh time, making this battle as intense and as dramatic as their previous finals showdowns.

While the Cargo Movers kept their spot on top, thanks to the arrival of Filipino-American sensation Kalei Mau, the Blaze Spikers fell out of grace after suffering a massive meltdown in the semifinals of the All-Filipino Conference two months ago.

Actually, Petron was looking good in the double-round eliminations, but it ran into a hungry and rampaging Cignal squad, which erased its twice-to-beat advantage en route to one of the biggest upsets in Philippine volleyball.

“I would be lying if I say that we don’t want to win the All-Filipino Conference,” said Petron coach Shaq Delos Santos, recalling their bitter fate in the midseason conference.

“But I’m glad that we are given another chance to redeem ourselves. Being in the finals of the Invitational Conference is a blessing, it is an opportunity to pick up the pieces and become a PSL champion once more.”
