WEAKENED TH2 SO CLOSE!
October 2, 2018
WITH THREE OF THEIR STARTERS MISSING TROJANS 2 CAME SO CLOSE TO BEATING ERNESFORD EAGLES IN THE SEASON’S OPENING GAME OF THE NEW SEASON.
TROJANS HAD DIFFICULTY ALL NIGHT IN CONTAINING 6’10” BEN CLARKE WHO HAD A REAL BATTLE AGAINST 6’7″ TROJANS COSTA MIRCEA WHO ONLY RETURNED TO THE UK A FEW DAYS AGO.
BUT FIVE-STAR PERFORMANCES CAME FROM COACH ANDY DICKSON WHO CAME OFF THE BENCH TO BE JOINT TOP SCORER WITH BEN LINNETT ON 12 POINTS AS MATT BARR REBOUNDED WELL ON HIS DEBUT.
LEADING BY ONE WITH A MINUTE LEFT, THEY WENT DOWN 43-46 BUT IT SHOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY IN THE RETURN FIXTURE WHEN TH2 WILL HOPE TO BE AT FULL STRENGTH.
