TROJANS ALMOST AT THE DOUBLE!

April 5, 2022

TROJANS 3 FINISHED THEIR LEAGUE SEASON IN STYLE WITH AN EMPHATIC 66-34 VICTORY OVER BOTTOM OF THE TABLE NUNEATON PREDATORS AT GEORGE ELLIOTT SCHOOL.

AND IT WAS THE POWER OF THEIR INSIDE GAME COMBINED WITHTHE FAST-BREAKING MECHANISM WHICH TRIGGERED THIS FINALE, AS TROJANS ALMOST DOUBLED THEIR HOSTS’ TOTAL, WITH THE “FRONT-MEN” MATTY NOVELSKAS AND IAIN MAXWELL STEAMING THROUGH THE NUNEATON DEFENSE TO LAND VALUABLE POINTS, WHILE TREVOR ROBINSON CREATED HAVOC INSIDE TO LEAD THEIR SCORING.

THE GAME WAS MARRED HOVEVER, BY A SERIOUS INJURY TO A NUNEATON PLAYER WHO LOOKED TO HAVE DISLOCATED HIS SHOULDER AND LEFT FOR NUNEATON A & E WHERE THEY LATER POPPED IT BACK IN AN HE WAS REPORTED TODAY AS BEING “FINE!!”.

NOTHWITHSTANDING THIS, TROJANS TOOK CONTROL OF THE GAME FROM THE FIFTHER MINUTE WHEN THEY CAME FROM 6-3 DOWN TO HURRY TO A 37-14 HALF-TIME LEAD. THE THIRD QUARTER WAS BEST CONFINED TO THE BIN AS NUNEATON TOOK IT 11-9, BEFORE A TIRING SET OF YOUNG PREDATORS’ PLAYERS CAVED IN AS TROJANS LANDED A 26-9 QUARTER TO SEAL THE GAME – AND THEIR SEASON.

SCORERS: ROBINSON 23, MAXWELL 19, NOVELSKAS 16, MIRCEA 4, COOMBES 2, BENT 2, DICKSON 0 SANCHEZ 0.
