UFL shorts, 10/09/13

Green Archers United won against Nomads, 1-0, on October 8 at the Emperador Stadium in McKinley Hill, Taguig to secure third place in the United Football League Preseason tournament. In the 30th minute, Reynald Villareal's strike rolled towards the far post, far away for Nomads keeper Russel Pierson to reach, for the only goal that evening.

The finals between Global and Loyola Meralco Sparks will be played tomorrow evening, also at the Emperador Stadium.

UFL rumor #1: A certain UFL division one club withdrew from the Cup citing that they do not have enough players in their lineup. Depends on who you asked, either they were not able to submit their roster on time or they did not bother to do so. It remains to be seen if they can muster enough manpower by the time the League kicks off next year. If they can't, will the League elevate a division two club or will we see a decrease of teams in the top flight? It has been reported that Nomads will ply their trade on division two where the "five-import limit" is not yet imposed.

UFL rumor #2: It is speculated that several non-UFL clubs which were committed to participate in this year's Cup backed out because the group draws did not go their way.

UFL rumor #3: It has been found out that a certain non-UFL club will field a roster composed of foreigners after officials received their documents. It has not been announced what they plan to do with this club, whether to sanction them or not with only three days to go before the Cup starts. Nomads declined to compete out of courtesy since they cannot commit to the "five-import limit", how come this club can?
