AUSTIN PASSES MOT!
October 18, 2019
AUSTIN DICKSON WAS THE DRIVING FORCE FOR TROJANS 1 AS THEY OVERCAME A VERY STICKY SITUATION TO GRAB THE POINTS AT TAMWORTH TIGERS.
TROJANS WERE WITHOUT FOUR PLAYERS AND HAD FAROUK BELLO A VIRTUAL PASSENGER FOR MUCH OF THE GAME AFTER A NASTY COLLISION, SO UP STEPPED AUSTIN TO PUT IN PROBABLY HIS BEST PERFORMANCE IN THE RED VEST AND LAND 26 POINTS.
TROJANS EDGED THE FIRST QUARTER BUT THEIR DEFENSIVE PLAY WAS IMMENSE AS TREVOR ROBINSON YELLED AND CAJOLED HIS DEPLETED SQUAD TO GIVE MORE. AND THEY RESPONDED AS EACH MAN GAVE THEIR ALL FOR THE CAUSE. TIGERS WERE FORCED INTO A TOOTHLESS UNIT WITH ONLY NEIL EVANS IN DOUBLE FIGURES AS THEY HIT THE RED BRICK WALL.
IT WAS A GREAT RESULT FOR THE VISITORS TO THE RAWLETT AS THEY CAME HOME WITH A 66-46 VICTORY TO KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON THE LEADERS.
