We have started 2023 in mostly tremendous form: The Firsts beat AVA 3-0 at home. The Dragons bounced back, revigorated rather than somnolent, after the break to dominate the match. Three goals, and that so important a clean sheet, made for a clinical return to football. The Blues had no game. The Old Dragonians were…

In short there were none. The pitches came tantalising close to be useable as the weather warmed but it was not to be. Frozen pitches were not the problem in Doha as the World Cup Final went from being an inevitable win for Argentina to the most exciting of matches with France coming from behind…
It will come as no surprise to fans worldwide that most matches were called off due to frozen pitches and the one that did proceed probably wished it hadn’t: The Firsts just lost 1-2 to Pitshanger Dynamo at home. On a bitterly cold but bright Saturday, the Dragons fell on the short end of an…

It was the older boys and girls’ youth teams that lead the way this week: The Under 17 Boys beat Highgate and Muswell Hill 4-2 on penalties at home in the Middlesex Cup. The Dragons conceded early but, following their Coaches’ instructions, started to use their speed against Muswell’s slow backline. Two goals were the…
A fantastic weekend! The Firsts won again as did all the Girls’ teams: First a word about finance. We register players regardless of whether they contribute to the costs of running the Club. The Coaches are not told who donates so every player is treated the same. It costs around £250/player per season which many…
A great result for the Firsts to keep our spirits high and hopes of promotion realistic. The Firsts beat undefeated League leaders Clapton Community 1-0 at home.
