TROJANS CUT THROUGH HALLOWEEN-WEEK OPPONENTS!

November 1, 2019

UNFORTUNATELY THE LADIES LOST TO CANNONS IN THE LEICESTERSHIRE LEAGUE BUT ALL THREE MEN’S TEAMS WON THIS WEEK WITH THE VETERANS OF TH3 LANDING THEIR BIGGEST-EVER SCORE AS THEY DEFEATED WESTWOOD RHINOS AT THE XCEL CENTRE.

TREVOR ROBINSON WAS THE STAR IN OFFENSE AS HE DOWNED 32 POINTS ON THE WAY TO THEIR 80-74 VICTORY.

TH2 STARTED THE HALLOWEEN WEEK AS THEY HOSTED WARWICK CHINA RED WITH BOTH SIDES LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON. AFTER A SLUGGISH START THE GAME SPRANG TO LIFE AND FROM THE MOMENT THEY TOOK THE LEAD TROJANS WERE NEVER BEHIND. TRUE THEY WERE PEGGED BACK TO LEVEL ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION BUT IN THE FOURTH QUARTER THEY GRABBED THE GAME WITH BEN LINNETT SINKING TWO TRIPLES AND TROJANS TAKING THE DECIDING PERIOD 22-6 TO WIN 72-54..

THE FIRST TEAM HAD ONLY FIVE PLAYERS AVAILABLE TO GO TO LEAMINGTON SPARTANS 1 BUT AUSTIN DICKSON TOOK LEAMINGTON BY STORM AS HE SLAMMED HOME FIVE THREES IN THE OPENING  EIGHT MINUTES TO OWN 19 BY THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

SPARTANS TRIED GAMELY TO GET BACK INTO IT BUT TROJANS KEPT THEIR COOL, PLAYED THE CLOCK AND ALTHOUGH THE HOME SIDE THREATENED THEY NEVER CAME CLOSE ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY PANIC AS  TROJANS EASED IN 82-77. AUSTIN WENT ON TO FINISH WITH 37 POINTS – A CAREER HIGH FOR THE YOUNGER OF THE TWO SUPER-DICKSONS – WHERE DO THEY GET THAT TALENT FROM?
