NEW BOYS SPARKLE IN WIN AS TIGERS TAMED!

October 6, 2022

IT WAS TOUGH AND IT WAS TENSE BUT AN EXTREMELY DEPLETED TROJANS FIRST TEAM TOOK MAXIMUM POINTS AT RAWLETT AS THEY EDGED HOME AGAINST TAMWORTH TIGERS 61-57.

AND  TWO OF THE NEW SIGNINGS, WHO ONLY JOINED THE CLUB IN THE PAST WEEK WERE IN SPARKLING FORM TO TKAKE THE PRESSURE OFF SUPERSTAR MARK LARNER, AS BOTH ENOCH KOLAWOLE AND CHRIS JANES BAGGED 16 POINTS TO SPUR TROJANS TO VICTORY.

IT WAS A ‘LOVELY, LOVELY’ START TO THE NEW CAMPAIGN WHEN WAYNE JONES DOWNED A PAIR OF TRIPLES TO INSPIRE THE VISITORS TO AN 19-15 OPENING QUARTER LEAD, BUT THEIR OLD ADVESARY LUKAS BOLDA STOOD FIRM AS THE HOME SIDE MOVED 35-31 AHEAD AT THE HALF, THE SKILLFUL TIGER GOING ON TO GRAB 30 POINTS.

PLAYER/COACH TREVOR ROBINSON HAULED HIMSELF TO THE FORE AFTER THE INTERVAL AS TROJANS’ SEVEN-MAN SQUAD DREW LEVEL AND THEN IT WAS ALL HANDS TO THE PUMP IN THE FINAL PERIOD, WHICH BROUGHT A SMILE TO THE FACE OF THE AGELESS ROBINSON WHO SAW KOLAWOLE AND JANES DROP IN THE WINNING BASKETS.

APART FROM THE DUO’S SCORES, JONES HIT 12, ROBINSON AND LARNER 8, THE RETURNING ALEX NEEDHAM 1 WITH PHIL ROBERTS ON ZERO.
