TROJANS 3 TORNADOES 0 – WHAT A WEEK!

October 21, 2022

FOLLOWING ON FROM MONDAY’S VICTORY BY TROJANS 1 OVER COVENTRY TORNADOES FIRST TEAM AND THE THIRD’S WIN AT FINHAM PARK OVER TORNADOES 2, THE SECONDS MADE IT A HAT-TRICK WITH A 57-45 SUCCESS TO MAKE IT THREE IN FOUR DAYS.

AT LEAST THE TWO CLUBS NOW HAVE TIME OFF FROM EACH OTHER AS HALF-TERM BRINGS TRAINING SESSIONS FOR ALL WITH HEREWARD CALLING ON MONDAY AND THURSDAY.

LIKE THE THIRDS, TROJANS 2 HAD TO FIGHT HARD FOR THE VICTORY, FOR IT WAS 30-30 AT HALF-TIME, BUT THEN SOME TOUGH DEFENSE FROM THE VISITORS SAW THEM STEAL THE BALL TO GOOD EFFECT SEVERAL TIMES AS TORNADOES FLOUNDERED IN THE RED HALF OF THE COURT AND TROJANS CASHED IN, TAKING THE THIRD QUARTER 23-8 BEFORE BOTH SIDES TIRED – NOT OF ENTHUSIASM BUT PHYSICALLY AND THE FOURTH WENT TO TROJANS 7-4, BRINGING COMPETITIVE BASKETBALL TO A HALT FOR A FEW DAYS AT LEAST.

TROJANS PLAYER/COACH BEN LINNETT (pictured) TOOK THE HONOURS WITH 14 POINTS AS THREE-POINTERS RAINED IN FROM BOTH SIDES DURING THE EVENING WITH 15 DROPPING IN ALL TO ROUND OFF AN ENTERTAINING GAME.

SCORERS.
