SECONDS’ SIX-PACK FALLS AT THE CASTLE!

March 13, 2022

ANDY DICKSON HAD JUST SIX FIT AND AVAILABLE PLAYERS FOR TROJANS SECOND TEAM’S VISIT TO CALUDON CASTLE, WHERE BALLERS HEAVEN WARRIORS PROVED TOO GOOD FOR THE TILE HILL SIDE, WINNING 92-54.

BUT IT WAS NOT FOR THE WANT OF TRYING AS TROJANS GAVE EVERYTHING THEY HAD IN A GOOD TOUGH CONTEST WITH WARRIORS  TAKING ALL FOUR QUARTERS FROM THEIR GALLANT VISITORS.

ONE NOTABLE POINT WAS A PLEASING RETURN TO SCORING FORM FROM TROJANS’ CENTRE EGIS BALIUNAS WHO HAS SUFFERED WITH ANKLE PROBLEMS FOR MANY OF THE RECENT FIXTURES, AND HE LED THE LINE WELL HIS INSIDE GAME SHINE ON THE RESULT FOR DICKSON.

IN THE GAME IN THE FIRST QUARTER, TROJANS FELL AWAY SOMEWHAT AFTER AN EARLY FLOURISH FROM BHUWAN LIMBU, WHO NOTCHED  NINE OF THE POINTS IN THIS PERIOD, TROJANS ENDING ON THE WRONG END OF 20-15. BIKRAM BAL SUPPORTED BALIUNAS WELL IN THE SECOND, BUT THEY COULD NOT STOP THEIRHOSTS WHO CHANGED ENDS LEADING 46-30.

IT WAS A SIMILAR STORY AFTER THEBREAK AS TROJANS TRIED TO PULL THINGS BACK, BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS AND DICKSON (PICTURED) HAD TO CONCEDE THAT THEY WERE BEATEN BY A BETTER SIDE.

“WITH FOUR KEY PLAYING OUT I WAS REALLY PROUD OF THE WAY MY MUCH-REDUCED SQUAD PERFORMED TONIGHT” HE SAID, ” AND HAD WE HAD SOME OF THE OTHER GUYS, I KNOW WE WOULD HAVE COME MUCH CLOSER.”

SCORERS: BALIUNAS 19, BIKRAM BAL 13, LIMBU 11, UBAVICIUS 5 GUDLIEKIS 4 DICKSON 2.
