The second Shield Semi-Final pits Robin Hood against the Somerset Trojans at the PHC Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 7:00 pm. While Robin Hood seek their first-ever appearance in the Final, the Trojans will be aiming to add to their impressive history in the competition.
Robin Hood, who have never reached the Shield final, will be looking to make a breakthrough in this year's tournament. Their opponents, the Somerset Trojans, boast a richer pedigree in the competition, having lifted the trophy three times. Their last triumph came in the 2008/09 season when they defeated St. David's 3-1.
These two sides met recently in the league, with Robin Hood claiming a 2-1 victory at the BAA Field on December 1st. Both teams now level on 10 points, although Somerset have a game in hand.
The Trojans will be hoping to avenge that defeat and book their place in the final. However, Robin Hood will be buoyed by their recent victory and will be determined to continue their impressive cup run.
This Semi-Final clash promises an intriguing battle between experience and ambition. The Trojans will rely on their know-how in this competition, while Robin Hood will be fueled by their desire to create club history. With a place in the final at stake, expect a fiercely contested match at the PHC Stadium.
