TROJANS 3 PUT PREDATORS TO SWORD!

March 11, 2022

A YOUNG, INEXPERIENCED NUNEATON PREDATORS WERE PUT TO THE SWORD AT HEREWARD COLLEGE AS TROJANS RIPPED THEM APART TO RECORD A MASSIVE 86-27 VICTORY.

THE COLLEGE VISITORS WERE WITHOUT SEVERAL SENIOR PLAYERS, AND THEIR FRAILTIES WERE EXPOSED AFTER TEN SECONDS WHEN THEY FOUNDTHEMSELVES TRAILING TO A TREVOR ROBINSON POWER-SURGE. IT WENT FORM BAD TO WORSE FOR THE YOUNGSTERS AS IAIN MAXWELL AND MATTY NOVELSKAS WENT ON THE RAMPAGE AS THEIR FAST-BREAKS CAUGHT THE OPPOSITION TIME AFTERTIME AND THERE WAS NO RESPITE AS THE SCORE RACED TO 16-2.

A BRIEF RALLY PULLED THINGS BACK TO 20-12, BUT BY THE HALF-TIME INTERVAL, , ONE HALF OF THE ELECTRONIC SCOREBOARD WAS HOT, THE OTHER NOT AT 48-16. THINGS CONTINUED IN SIMILAR VEIN AS THE GAME WORE ON, AND THE DYNAMIC DUO CASHED IN BEFORE ROBINSON SHOWED WHY HE WAS AN ALL-STAR FOR SEVEN YEARS AS TROJANS ALMOST KEPT A CLEAN SHEET IN THE FINAL QUARTER BEFORE CONCEDING IN THE DYING MINUTE.

MAXWELL LED THE SCORING BUT IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY NEXT GAME WHEN RUGNY RAGE COME TO TOWN.

SCORERS: MAXWELL 29, ROBISNON 24, NOVELSKAS 19, MIRCEA 10, BENT 4, MURRAY 0, SALTER 0, PETRENKO 0.

THE BOYS THEN HURRIED TO THEIR USUAL HAUNT AND CAME OUT TOPS IN THE NEWLANDS PUB QUIZ FORTHETHIRD TIME IN SIX WEEKS WITH AN IMPRESSIVE 80 POINT TOTAL!
