Trojans
Atmosphere
“On the pitch things are going fairly
well, although with a club of our size
there is never one specific subject that
we can concentrate on. With nearly 500
juniors playing on a Sunday, two ladies
teams and three men’s teams inevitably
not all will be going well at the same
time. That said, many teams are doing
well.
The mood (and the workload) are
buoyed by some exciting potential
developments off the field which, if they
come to fruition will benefit the club for
many years to come. By the end of the
season we will know much more about
these.”
2017/18
“The men’s 1st XV have started the
season well. They have exceeded targets
set so far for league points and are sitting
at 4th in the league, despite having a
significant number of injuries. The other
men’s teams are not doing so well and,
in common with all of the local clubs, we
could do with more players in order to
fulfil all of the lower team fixtures.
The Ladies teams are not doing as
well as last season but are nonetheless
winning plenty of games. The youth
section is always very strong and we
are providing a quantity of players to
the Hampshire County XVs at a number
Owtons Butchers are delighted to
sponsor Trojans Academy. Billy Owton
started his playing career at the club in
the age group of under 14’s, he worked
his way through the age groups and
gained his first team cap at the age of
18.
After leaving the club for a five year
period he returned to skipper the
seconds and then went on to coaching
different age groups and is now coaching
the academy.
Throughout Billy’s time at Trojans,
Owtons Butchers have always supplied
the club with high quality meat and many
of the clubs members have been loyal
customers of Owtons retail shops.
We have had a great start to the season,
Good Luck to all team for the future.
