Meralco Bolts look to slay the Mono Vampires 26 SHARES Share it! Share TweetThe Meralco Bolts eye a positive start despite the potential absence of key players due to eligibility issues when they face host Mono Vampire in the opener of the FIBA Asia Champions Cup at Stadium 29 in Nonthaburi, Thailand. Meralco was hoping for a favorable nod to the eligibility of Chris Newsome and Cliff Hodge ahead of the 3:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. PH time) encounter with the Thai side that looks to capitalize on the homecourt advantage. Coach Norman Black will have his work cut out should the two players be disallowed for the six-day tourney, especially with veterans Ranidel de Ocampo and Jared Dillinger already out with injuries.
