Happy Easter Everybody. As we glide towards the season’s end season our new U11 Boys completed their fixtures schedule with an emphatic win:
The U11 Boys beat Larkspur Rovers 3-0 at home in their last game of the season. With this the only youth fixture of the weekend, all the attention was on the Dragons and they delivered in dazzling fashion. A great performance from everyone in the squad to end their inaugural League campaign on a high. Looking ahead, the Dragons are now equipped and ready for the international friendlies that have been arranged against Japan and Ireland.
The Old Dragonians just lost 0-1 away to Newton City. This was possibly the Old Ds best performance of the season against the unbeaten league leaders who had won 9 of their 10 league games. The Dragons started shakily, having not played a fixture for a month, and conceded an early goal. The Dragons then grew into the game causing Newton problems along the way. Alas, they could not breach Newton’s defence despite creating a few good opportunities. Newton’s unbeaten record remained intact – but only just!
The Blues lost at home to Eastcote British Legion. It is a tricky to have long breaks between competitive League games and it was telling this time around for the Dragons. They were not up to their usual standards and succumbed to a disappointing defeat.
The Firsts, all other Youth Boys and the Youth Girls teams had no scheduled games due to the Easter break. The U10 Boys trained in preparation for the League.
