Weather watchers will remember the Dragons battling through the “Beast from the East“ to emerge the other side in fine fettle. Our challenge is now is the “Wet from the West”: The Firsts drew 1-1 to London Tigers away. The Dragons knew this was a game they should win but also could not lose. With such a tight pack in the…
This was a miserable, wet weekend. The Dragons spent the week organising teams and matches only to then spend the weekend calling matches off with both home and away pitches mostly waterlogged. Still, spring cannot be far away. The Firsts lost to Pitshanger Dynamo away in the League. Pitshanger are title race contenders and the Dragons were up against it on a wet and…
A wet week saw many matches postponed: The Firsts had no scheduled game. The Blues drew 1-1 with Wisemen West away. The Dragons were not at their best which led to 90 minutes of ups and downs. Wiseman is a good team and took the initiative and the lead. The Dragons realised that they were trailing so pulled themselves together and improved to, not…
With so many teams there are bound to be bumps along the footballing road but on the whole this was a very good weekend: The Firsts beat Cricklewood Wanderers 3-2 away.

The Old Dragonians beat Inter Manor 2-1 away. Earlier on in the season the ODs would have lost such a game but this win highlights the…
With a warm spring waiting around a welcome corner the Dragons were out in force: The Firsts just lost 1-2 at Kodak away. The Dragons travelled to their first away match of the new year to find a very poor pitch which the Dragons couldn’t come to terms with and consequently conceded twice. Having finally come to terms with the surface the Dragons…
