MANILA (2 May 2016) – Loyola Meralco made a fabulous start to their United Football League (UFL) 2016 campaign when they dumped defending champions Ceres-La Salle 3-2 as Kaya and JP Voltes were also on the winning track.
Loyola hauled in the full points off goals from captain James Younghusband, Curt Dizon and Alvaro Castiella as Ceres late fightback failed to spark a revival.
This even though Stephan Schrock did slammed in the late goal.
“We knew that if we worked hard, if we made them work hard and with a little bit of luck we’ll have a chance,” said Loyola coach Simon McMenemy afterwards.
Kaya were unabashed winners at 10-2, with OJ Porteria, Robert Lopez Mendy and Louis Clark scoring two goals each, while JP Voltes leaned on a hat trick from J Baguioro to whitewashed Pasargad 6-0.
