SECONDS REACH PLATE FINAL
March 15, 2018
WITH THE FIRST TEAM ALREADY IN THE BOB CASTLEDINE HANDICAP CUP FINAL, THE SECONDS WHO WENT OUT TO THE FIRSTS IN THE OPENING ROUND, MARCHED INTO THE FINAL OF THE PLATE WITH A 178-146 VICTORY OVER WARWICK CHINA RED.
AND THEY HAD AN UNLIKELY HERO IN BIG JOHN EJINDU (PICTURED) WHO HAD HIS BEST GAME OF THE SEASON, FINALLY PROVING THAT HE CAN PLAY IN THE THIRD PERIOD, WHEN THE CHIPS WERE DOWN, AND HE RAMMED HOME 13 POINTS IN THE QUARTER AS CHINA RED THREATENED. HE FINISHED WITH 21 AND LED THE SCORING IN THE MATCH, WHICH ALSO DOUBLED AS THE OUTSTANDING LEAGUE GAME FOR THE SIDE.
TROJANS NOW MEET THE WINNER OF THE WARWICK UNIVERSITY V STRATFORD SEMI-FINAL WITH UNIVERSITY SIX AHEAD FROM THE FIRST LEG.
