HOLY MOLEY – IT’S KOLAWOLE!

November 8, 2022

TROJANS’ ENOCH KOLAWOLE WAS THE STAR OFTHE SHOW AS THE SENIOR SQUAD, WITHOUT ASH DICKSON, DOM GORGOL AND SCOTT OWEN THRASHED WARWICK CHINA RED 101-53 AT HEREWARD.

THE YOUNG 6′ 3″ NEWCOMER TO THE TROJANS’ RANKS WAS IN EXCELLENT FORM AS HE NOTCHED UP 27 POINTS AS HIS SIDE OVERCAME AN UNEASY START TO DOMINATE THE EAGER, ENTHUSIASTIC CHINA RED SIDE WHO HAD EARLIER, HAD THE TEMERITY TO DRAW LEVEL AT 28 ALL BEFORE CAPITULATING IN THE SECOND HALF WHICH THE HOME SIDE WON 57-21.

KOLAWOLE SCALED THE HEIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE GAME AT BOTH ENDS OF THE COURT AS THE FORMER CHAMPIONS MADE SURE THE POINTS WERE IN THE BAG BEFORE COACH TREVOR ROBINSON ARRIVED FOLLOWING A WORK MEETING, BUT HIS VERY PRESENCE LIFTED THE INTENSITY IN DEFENSE AND ENDED ANY HOPES CHINA RED HAD OF SECURING ANYTHING FROM THE FIXTURE.

FROM 28-28, THE SCORELINE ROCKETED TO 51-32 AND THE VISITORS WERE BEATEN AT THAT POINT AS MARK LARNER CAME INTO THE PICTURE TOO, AND WHEN RICH ONIONS DOWNED A BRACE OF TRIPLES THE ONLY HOT NET WAS ATTHE VISITORS’ END.

A 25-9 BURST HAD THE WARWICK COACH SCRATCHING HIS HEAD, IN FRUSTRATION, BUT HIS CHARGES WERE A BEATEN OUTFIT AS TROJANS DOMINATED EVERY FACET OF THE FIXTURE TO GO BACK TO THE TOP OF DIVISION ONE IN STYLE.

SCORERS: TROJANS – KOLAWOLE 27, LIMBU 14, LARNER 13, JONES 11, ONIONS 10, JANES 8, ROBERTS 7, ROBINSON 7, MURRAY 4.

CHINA RED – CHU 11, CHEN 10, YUTAI 8, HESLEY 8, XIAO 5, PONG 5, GUO 4, ZER 2, LU 0, ZHAO 0.
