The Headline

Trojans 2 edged East London 1 10-9 at Trinity School, surviving a tense finish to make it two wins from two. It keeps them right on the leaders’ heels, while East London are still searching for a first point.

The Match

On Sunday 11 October 2026 in the London Regional League, Trojans 2 made home advantage count, but only just. The hosts looked the more settled side for long spells at Trinity School, nudging themselves in front and repeatedly finding ways to respond whenever the visitors threatened to swing momentum.

With no individual scoring breakdown provided, the story was a collective one: Trojans shared the load to reach 10 korfs, while East London 1 stayed in touching distance throughout and had enough attacking rhythm to keep the pressure on until the final whistle.

Ultimately, the one-korf margin underlined both teams’ current trajectories. For Trojans, it was another winning result that strengthens early-season belief, even if the narrow scoreline hints there’s still polish to add. For East London, a 9-korf away return shows they can compete, but they were left with the familiar frustration of coming up just short.
