THIRDS POUNCE TO STOP PREDATORS!

October 14, 2022

TROJANS 3 MADE IT A CRACKING WEEK  AS THEY ROUNDED OFF A TRIO OF CLUB VICTORIES BY STOPPING NUNEATON PREDATORS WITH A 56-41 WIN AT HEREWARD COLLEGE.

ALTHOUGH THE SCORE LOOKS IMPRESSIVE, TROJANS HAD TO WORK HARD TO GET PAST THE YOUNG NUNEATON SIDE ASTHE HOSTS FAILED TO FIND THEIR SHOOTING ACCURACY, MISSING SHOT AFTER SHOT. DESPITE THIS, PREDATORS STILL SUFFERED A DISASTROUS FIRST QUARTER WHICH THEY LOST 19-6 WITH TREVOR ROBINSON AND DAVIDE NICOLINI DOMINATING INSIDE.

A LOW-KEY SECOND QUARTER WAS FOLLOWED BY A SIMILAR THIRD, BUT TROJANS HIT GOLD IN THE FINAL PERIOD TO MOVE FROM 38-27 TO 51-29 AND VIRTUALLY SEAL THE POINTS. NUNEATON TRIED GAMELY TO RALLY, CATHCING TROJANS ON THE FAST-BREAK, BUT THE MOUNTAIN WAS TOO BIG TO CLIMB AS THE REDS STEPPED UP THEIR DEFENSIVE WORK TO REMOVE ANY HOPES OF A REVIVAL.

POINTS: ROBINSON 20, NOVELSKAS 14, MAXWELL 13, BENT 5, NICOLINI 4, MADDOX 0,MURRAY 0, DICKSON 0, PETRENKO 0.

THEI TROJANS QUIZ TEAM JOURNEYED TO THE NEWLANDS, ARRIVED JUST IN TIME AND  CAME SECOND, ONE POINT BEHIND THE WINNING TEAM – SO ENDED A GOOD WEEK ALL ROUND!
