LLOYD’S A BANKER FOR NUNEATON!
November 26, 2021
TROJANS 3 SLIPPED TO THEIR FOURTH DEFEAT IN FIVE AS THEY CRASHED 43-53 TO LLOYD TAYLOR’S NUNEATON PREDATORS 1 AT HEREWARD COLLEGE.
DESPITE A 100% MISS-RATE FROM FOUR FREE SHOTS IN THE OPENING MINUTES, TROJANS BUILT A LEAD WITH IAIN MAXWELL’S PERFORMANCE LIGHTING UP THE HEREWARD GYM AS HE BANKED TWO TRIPLES AND ADDED THREE MORE FROM INSIDE TO TAKE TROJANS IN AT 24-18 AT HALF-TIME.
THEN THE TROJAN HORSE BOLTED AS THE THIRD QUARTER BROUGHT THEM JUST A SOLITARY BASKET AS NUNEATON SCORCHED TO 36-26 WITH TAYLOR RUNNING THINGS. THE DAMAGE DONE IT WAS EVEN IN THE FINAL PERIOD AS CLIVE BENT AND TREVOR ROBINSON SCORED WELL BUT THE VISITING SIDE HAD DONE ENOUGH AND TOOK HOME THE POINTS.
TAYLOR FINISHED WITH 23 AND TROJANS’ MAXWELL 16 AS THE HOME SIDE WOULD RUE THOSE MISSED FREE SHOTS – FIVE FROM FIFTEEN HURT!
