EAGLES WINGS CLIPPED BY CHAMPS!
January 22, 2019
THREE DAYS AFTER DEFEATING THE SECOND TEAM AT GRACE, ERNESFORD EAGLES HAD THEIR WINGS CLIPPED BY A DEPLETED FIRST TEAM WHO WON 72-42.
WITHOUT RICHARD ONIONS, BEN OKENWA AND DOMINIK GORGOL, TROJANS LOST MARK LARNER IN THE THIRD PERIOD WITH A BADLY ROLLED ANKLE LEAVING THEM WITH JUST SIX PLAYERS, BUT THEY STILL HAD ENOUGH SKILL AND POWER TO DOWN THE EAGLES WHO HAD THREATENED BRIEFLY IN THE SECOND PERIOD.
THERE WAS ALWAYS ONLY GOING TO BE ONE WINNER, BUT TROJANS MADE HARD WORK OF THINGS AS THEY CLOSED 31-24 UP AT HALF-TIME. BUT A DEVASTATING SPELL AFTERWARDS SAW THEM TAKE THE THIRD 20-8 TO GET BACK ON TRACK AGAIN AS ASH DICKSON LANDED 23 POINTS TO LEAD THE TEAM HOME.
