Jones’ double sinks Wolves
Wolves 1Somerset Trojans 2Malachi Jones scored a brace as Somerset Trojans put themselves within touching distance of leaders Devonshire Cougars with their road win over Wolves at Devonshire Rec.Jones scored in the third and 57th minute to secure the win for the west enders, while Troy Tucker scored for Wolves in the 39th minute."It was very important given the fact of where we are in the league and there is a big game tomorrow and depending on the result we will be in the mix," said Jones."This was a vital score for us being in the chasing pack.It was good for everyone in terms of the result, but it doesn't matter who scores as long as the team is successful. Goals are coming for whole team, not just the strikers and it is a bonus."Jones struck first blood with the first attempt on target for the visitors, but their luck would run out with the equaliser from Tucker after numerous attacks on the Wolves goal went begging.Wolves striker Derrick Brangman went close in the 54th minute, but his sliding effort at the back post went wide of the mark.The telling blow was struck by Jones when he latched onto a Tyrell Burgess long ball to beat Daniel Adams at the back post.Trojans are three points behind league leaders Cougars who play Dandy Town tomorrow at St John's Field in the day’s top match."Results at the end of the season are crucial because teams are fighting for results at either end (of the table), and for us we have a home and an away game coming up," said Jones.Wolves: D.Adams, M.Williams, D.Minors, J.Peniston, M.Laws, T.Tucker, J.Nusum, V.Minors, D.Brangman (A.
