The Trojans hosted the Sydney University Cubs at Craik Park for the week 8 clash. The bad weather stayed away to allow an unimpeded game of football.
The Trojans offensive miscues in the first half put the Trojans behind. There was not 6 turnovers like in the first clash of these teams, but many opportunities were missed. In fact the only Trojans’ score in the first half was a length of the field interception return by Adam Goddard. Trojans’ defence and special teams keeping them in the game again.
The second half was better on offence with the Trojans scoring 3 touchdowns, but this was not enough with the Cubs scoring on a kick-off to give them a 9 point lead late in the game. The Trojans rallied but too little, too late saw this one go the way of the Cubs, 30-28.
The offensive issues was simply a lack of training attendance in the previous weeks resulting in bad execution come gameday.
