NICOLINI’S INSPIRATIONAL ITALIAN JOB!
March 26, 2019
DAVIDE NICOLINI HAD HIS BEST GAME IN THE RED AND WHITE OF TROJANS 3 AND LANDED 25 POINTS AS THE VETERANS BEAT PLUCKY NUNEATON PREDATORS AT THE JUBILEE CENTRE.
NICOLINI WAS SUPREME IN OFFENCE AND WAS FED TIME AND TIME AGAIN BY TREVOR ROBINSON’S SHREWD PASSING AS THE TROJANS’ BIG MEN WON THE GAME FROM INSIDE THE ARC.
IT WAS TOUGH THOUGH AS THE HOME SIDE GAVE A GOOD ACCOUNT OF THEMSELVES TO THWART TROJANS EVERY TIME THEY THREATENED TO TAKE CONTROL, AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE THIRD QUARTER THAT THEIR RESISTANCE BROKE AND THE VETS PULLED AWAY. THEY MOVED FROM 38-38 TO 58-40 WITH DAVIDE GRABBING 14 ON THE WAY AND, DESPITE A BRAVE FIGHT-BACK WHICH SAW NUNEATON TAKE THE FOURTH QUARTER, TROJANS HUNG ON THE WIN 70-62.
