A hat-trick of victories spurred Tile Hill Trojans on this week, but there was controversy surrounding the Third team game against Rugby Royals, when referee and Warwickshire Chairman Ian Pursglove called time with just over two minutes remaining, following verbal abuse towards him appeared to come from the Royals bench.
The match was poised at 59-57 in favour of Rugby when a volley was delivered resulting in a second technical foul being issued again player/coach Jay Jung and another at the Rugby bench. By now the official had had enough and gave the game 20-0 to the home side.
It was a lot calmer earlier in the week, also at Hereward, when Trojans 2 demolished Nuneaton Predators 84-39 after leading 35-10 at half-time. Five players hit double figures as the Seconds reached their highest score of the season.
But there was a magnificent fight-back at Woodlands for the Club’s First team who found themselves trailing 38-31 at half-time, then they proceeded to pile into Tornadoes 1 and land a massive 63 second-half points to win 93-65 and move clear at the top of division one as Griffins dropped points against Yardley.
