The Lopue’s Table Tennis Association stamped its class in the 2nd ANDRO Cup National Table Tennis Championships that ended Sunday at the Dr. Enverga University Gym in Candelaria, Quezon.
The LOPTTA paddlers bested 24 other squads to claim the national crown, punctuating its domination of the two-day tournament with a 3-1 victory over Killerspin in the finals. Johnard Baldonado clinched the crown for LOPTTA, winning against Leo De Leon, 3-2, in the fourth match, after teammate Isaias Seroñio blanked Michael Motel, 3-0, and Celjun Ortalla trounced Rodel Valle, 3-1.
The tie was thrown back into the melting pot when Marrel Lagunday, who stunned RP No. 1 Yan Yan Lariba, 3-1, of ANDRO A in the semifinals, suffered a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Jade Jalorin, before Baldonado wrapped up the championship.
LOPTTA, headed by its president Leonito “Diotay” Lopue, swept its bracket, winning 6-0, to advance to the quarterfinals, where it defeated University of Sto. Tomas, 3-0.
In the semifinals, Ortalla overwhelmed Jeje Marcelino, 3-1, before Seroñio won a tough five-setter over Jojo Almazan, setting the stage for Lagunday to sweep the ANDRO A. Also part of the LOPTTA squad are Arnie Uy and Noah Trayco.*
