The Miners had been the first team Thornhill played this season and they lost 36-22 to them back in March.
They proved tough opposition again with the Trojans unable to breach the home side’s strong defence in a tough 80 minutes played in unusually hot temperatures, despite the efforts of their man of the match Joel Gibson.

Scrum-half Lewis Geraghty, who added the extras, was again on target when hooker Kenny Hughes charged over to forge a 12-0 half-time lead.
The Trojans sensed they had a chance to get back into the contest when the hosts’ prop Mike Fields was sin-binned nine minutes into the second period.
