WARRIORS WIN BATTLE AGAINST TROJANS 2
February 1, 2022
A DRAMATIC SWING EITHER SIDE OF THE FIRST-QUARTER BREAK SAW TROJANS 2 HOPES OF VICTORY GO OUT OF THE WINDOW AS WARWICKSHIRE WARRIORS SWEPT FROM 11-15 TO A 33-15 LEAD AT HEREWARD.
THOSE 22 POINTS WITHOUT REPLY KILLED THE GAME AS IT PUT WARRIORS IN CONTROL AND THEY PRESSED THE HOME SIDE TO CAUSE PANIC, A SPATE OF TURNOVERS AND THREE POINTS WENT DOWN THE DRAIN.
STILL FIGHTING AT 37-52 WELL INTO THE THIRD, WARRIORS ATTACKED AGAIN AND ADDED A FURTHER 20-0 RUN WHEN THEY WERE FORCED TO LIFT THEIR STRONG PRESS UNDER LEAGUE RULES WHEN A SIDE IS 25 OR MORE ADRIFT.
TROJANS DID NOT GIVE UP THOUGH AND THEY GAINED SOME GLORY BY WINNING THE REMAINING MINUTES FOR SOME CONSOLATION.
PRINCE KANAKA STARRED WITH 22 POINTS FOR WARRIORS WHILE BABS GURUNG (17) AND BHUWAN LIMBU (16) TRIED GAMELY FOR INJURY-HIT TROJANS.
