IT’S WAYNE’S WORLD AS FIRSTS BOUNCE BACK!

February 7, 2022

WAYNE JONES SHOT FIVE THREE-POINTERS IN THE LAST ELEVEN MINUTES AS TROJANS 1 BOUNCED BACK TO WINNING WAYS AGAINST THEIR SECOND STRING AT HEREWARD.

THE SENIORS WON 92-61 BUT COACH TREVOR ROBINSON MUST HAVE FEARED A HAT-TRICK OF DEFEATS WAS ON THE CARDS AS HIS SIDE WENT 12-2 DOWN INSIDE FOUR MINUTES. BUT , AS THE RETURNING MARK LARNER TOOK CHARGE OF THE SECOND’S HOOP TO LAND 33 BIG POINTS IN THE GAME, TH1 COUNTERED WITH A 33-4 BURST TO ESTABLISH THEIR CREDENTIALS.

FROM THAT POINT IT WAS FAIRLY EVEN WITH THE SECONDS MATCHING THE FORMER CHAMPIONS BUT THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE AND A GOOD NATURED FIXTURE LOOKED LIKELY TO BE PLAYED OUT IN THIS FASHION.

THAT IS, UNTIL WAYNE JONES STEPPED INTO THE FRAY AND PROMPTLY HOUSED A QUINTET OF NET-BUSTERS TO MAKE THOSE EARLY MINUTES SEEM A DISTANCE AWAY.

BOTH JONES AND RICHARD ONIONS SCORED 15 FOR TH1 AND AUDI GUDLEIKIS LED THE SECONDS ON 14.
