CORDOVA Dutchess Dagami Warriors have shown what team work and commitment to training can do.

Bannered by GM Nitzan Steinberg and NM Merben Roque, the Dagami Warriors swept their first nine matches and remained as the only unbeaten team in the 2021 PCAP-GM Wesley So Cup chess championships.

On Wednesday, the Ariel Potot-owned Dagami Warriors gun for a sweep of their Southern Division matches when they take on Camarines Soaring Eagles and Zamboanga Sultans, two of the teams hot in pursuit with 8-1 and 6-3 records.

“Our players (Warriors) once again showed that their efforts and commitments to training are paying off. They managed to put up a good fight with the help of our coaches Dione Mendoza an Yves Christian Fiel,” said Potot in a text message to People’s Tonight.
