Although Somerset have tightened up defensively since heavy defeats to North Village and Robin Hood in the Dudley Eve Trophy, they are still finding goals hard to come by.

Trojans are not alone, however, as the 31 goals scored in the Premier Division after two rounds of games have been converted by five of the ten clubs.

PHC Zebras are already into double figures, while Trojans, Young Men’s Social Club, Dandy Town Hornets, X-Roads and Flanagan’s Onions are yet to score.

Trojans play host to Town in the first top-flight match to be played in Bermuda on a Saturday afternoon this weekend, with both teams hoping it will help change their fortunes in front of goal.

“It’s more about concentrating on keeping the ball out of the net,” said Danvers Seymour Jr, the Trojans coach. “It still seems we’re giving away easy goals rather than teams earning them.”

Trojans picked up their first point of the season with a 0-0 draw with newly promoted Social Club, before losing 2-0 at home to Boulevard last weekend.

“I feel that we’re playing good football,” Seymour said. “In previous years we got the results, but it didn’t look so good.

“Now we’re trying to make the transition from just being a team that wins to a team that can get the result with a good style of football.

“I was a defensive player, I played at centre back and as a holding midfielder, so I take pride in keeping the ball out of the net, so that bothers me.

“I played with strikers like Rodre ‘Piper’ Wilson and Lamaul Crofton; guys who could put the ball in the back of the net. Right now, we have to be brave and not abort the things we’ve been working on in preseason.

“Against Boulevard we had 70-30 or 65-35 per cent possession, but possession doesn’t win games.

“Now we have to get to the point where we’re putting the ball into the back of the net and keeping it out of our net.”

Somerset lost attacking pair Jonathan Bean and Tahj Wade in the summer; Bean returning to Ireland Rangers, while Wade switched to Paget Lions.

“If you look at the professional game players come and go,” Seymour said.

“When players leave Somerset we find other players to fill the void.”

Ian Coke could be doubtful for Town’s visit to the West End, after limping off at half-time with a groin injury against PHC last weekend.
