Old Actionians 2 vs 3 Kensington Dragons U14A We don’t like small pitches, we don’t like muddy pitches, we don’t like the rain, so it was with trepidation that the team trooped over Gunnersbury Park to find 2 out of the 3 greeting us (the Rain at least held off until the second half). The…
Singh Sabah Slough 1 v 6 Kensington Dragons The first meeting had been met with disappointment by Dragons as it was a midweek fixture that due to transport difficulty meant the game was reduced by ten minutes. It is not to say the game that ended in a draw would have been any different but…
Kensington Dragons Reserves 7 v 3 Wembley Park Reserves – Divisional Cup Cup games are always very interesting as you have to put maximum effort to go into the next round.

Wealdstone Youth 2 v 2 Kensington Dragons U14B The U14Bs took on the Wealdstone team from the top of the table. Early play was defined by inconsistent passing and counterattacking from both sides.

Kensington Dragons U14A 4 v 2 Willesden Constantine It appeared the team had not recovered from last Sunday’s physical encounter against the same opposition as we went behind in the 3rd minute as a cleared corner fell to a WC midfielder outside our penalty area who hit a screamer of a volley straight into the…
Kensington Dragons 3 v 0 Broadfields United The chance to continue the Dragons good form would come against a struggling Broadfields side that had nothing to prove and everything to play for. It was on this basis that Dragons needed to be prepared for a difficult game knowing that only a good performance would provide…
