FIRSTS EDGE CLOSER TO TITLE
March 15, 2018
AFTER PULLING OUT OF THEIR AWAY GAME AT COVENTRY COLLEGE LAST WEEK DUE TO A LACK OF PLAYERS, THE FIRST TEAM ALMOST WENT THE SAME WAY WHEN THE TWO SIDES MET AT HEREWARD COLLEGE.
TROJANS HAD JUST FIVE MEN AVAILABLE AT THE START SO RECRUITED MIKE BUCKLEY FROM TH3 TO COVER AND HE CAME ON A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE FIRST HALF BEFORE CURTIS HADLEY ARRIVED TO BOLSTER THE SQUAD.
IT WAS IN THE FINAL PERIOD THAT TROJANS EXCELLED AND THEY CAME FROM BEHIND TO MOVE AHEAD IN THE FIRST MINUTE AS THEY STEPPED UP THE PRESSURE ON THEIR VISITORS.
ALL FIVE OF THE STARTERS WERE IN DOUBLE FIGURES BY THE END AND THEY MUST NOW GET THEIR ABSENTEES BACK IN TIME FOR THE SHOWDOWN GAMES WITH ARDEN IF THEY WISH TO CLINCH THE TITLE ONCE MORE.
