Venceremos 2 v 1 Kensington Dragons U13s The game was in doubt right up to kick off with the sun just having enough heat to thaw the pitch to allow the game to go ahead. Unfortunately the heat didn’t warm the team up and we got caught cold, conceding in the first few minutes of…
Hillingdon Abotts 1 v 7 Kensington Dragons Firsts Dragons were able to go ahead with their game on a weekend that could have easily been another postponement. The pitch was very heavy and in no way lent to the Dragons style of play. With that said, the team started brightly and used their initiative to…
A wet week lead to a wet weekend with most matches cancelled and those that were not maybe should have been. The only bright light was the successful start of the Girls’ Section on Friday evenings from 5.30-7pm on the main pitch at the Westway – all girls aged from 9-15 are welcome to join…
YAC Ealing 7 - 2 Kensington Dragons U14 Eagles So it was the biggest game of the season. The pitch was a quagmire and we lost 7-2.

This was matched by limp attempts off the ball to regain possession with…
Gibbons Wreckers 6 v 3 Kensington Dragons U11s A full squad of U11’s faced the established Gibbons Wreckers leading to an exciting first half ending 3 – 2 to GW and an outstanding performance by the KD U11’s who with a bit more finessing and fine tuning would have found the net 3 or 4…
Brentham Colts 4 v 3 Kensington Dragons U13s A warmish Autumn morning greeted the U13s on their trip to Brentham, on a tight pitch and an opposition containing 3 players who size would have not have been out of place in a first team fixture. Brentham opened the scoring following a goal mouth scramble as…
AFC Southall 1 v 3 Kensington Dragons Reserves After the management shook things up, the Reserves were able to cling on to some positivity after a poor run of 3 straight defeats. With numerous players in new positions they started sloppily with an array of misplaced passes. However the defence, also with a new look,…
Lancaster 1 v Kensington Dragons 3 The week off did nothing to help the team’s rhythm on the pitch or so it appeared in the opening exchanges in the game where the tempo and quality were lower than expected. This was matched by limp attempts off the ball to regain possession and the inevitable happened…
