Sunday 19th July - West Coast Trojans 30 v 36 Glasgow Tigers

Trojans Fail To Tame The Tigers

Sundays game v the Glasgow Tigers should have been a 5TD+ win as predicted by Double Coverage, the only difference was someone forgot to tell the Tigers to play ball and instead they gave the Trojans their first defeat of the year with a 36-30 win at Garscube.

The Trojans were down 7 starters including game player RB Jordan Falconer, but you would expect the Trojans to have enough man power to win against a team who are sitting 4-4 for the season.
