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. Liam Fribley was a stalwart at the back and parried shot after shot. The Dragons were beginning to put themselves in position…
Kensington Dragons U15B 4 v 2 Rugby Portobello Trust FC In today’s match vs the Rugby Portobello Trust, we have probably seen the best Dragons U15A team from the beginning of the season: well coordinated, generous in delivering, committed, attacking with confidence while blocking with determination the opponents’ strides in the defensive area. In short, the…
Wembley A 5 v 1 Kensington Dragons U11s The under 11s travelled to Wembley A away, an undefeated Premier League side, in the fourth round of the Middlesex Cup. The Wembley team were extremely skilful, well organised and physically fit and intimidating. They started the better of the two teams, hitting the framework of the…
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…
The U11’s beat Old Actonions 4-1 at St Marks in the Middx Cup to proceed to the next round against AFC Wembley on Sunday. It was a relief to play the match. With Bessingby Park Rangers from the previous round fighting a rear-guard action to push the Dragons aside on a technicality it had taken…
The U12’s lost 0-6 against Kodak at St Marks. It was a confusing start with Kodak wearing brand-spanking-new kit, identical to the Dragons. With the referee lost in transit the Dragons coach bravely stepped forward to officiate. There was nothing to separate the teams before Kodak unleashed their secret weapon – giving the Dragons a…
Willesden Constantine 4 v 2 Kensington Dragons U14A On a large, stodgy, long grassed pitch the Dragons met a physical Willesden C. team and were afforded little protection from the ref who let a number of shall we say over zealous challenges go by. The Dragons started slowly and found themselves behind after 10 mins…
Kensington Dragons U15A 9 v 1 Rugby Portobello Trust The team today won 9-1 in a match that saw 4 players of the opponent team sent off with red cards. After the Dragons scored 1-0, in rapid succession a Portobello’s player was sent off on a (probably unintentional) foul, a penalty kick was assigned on…
Kensington Dragons U15A 2 v 0 Forest United Youth After a narrow defeat in our last outing the young Dragons were looking to make up for it and they started very brightly as we took full control of the match. A snap shot early in the game from striker Tim was good enough to test…
Kensington Dragons U15 Eagles 0 v 1 Wealdstone Back to earth, wake up call, rude awakening call it what you like, but as we trudged home after an hour or so of tough, vain sluggery, the truth was plain to see: we were beaten by a team whose single shot belied the constant pressure…
