Results W/E 1st February 2026
The Firsts beat Wood Lane 5-3 at home at the Den. A tense local derby where, after a sluggish start, Wood Lane had the upper hand and were pegging the Dragons back before they found themselves with two chances which they and gladly took. Upping the temperature, Wood Lane got back into the game, not just to equalise, but to the home fans disquiet pull ahead to 2-3. The Dragons showed once again the quality and hard work they have shown all season to keep playing, capitalise through set-pieces to eventually silence the chirpy away fans.
The Blues had no game.
The Old Dragonians beat Jugg Boyz 4-0 at home at the Den. Not just a clinical win for the Old Ds but a clean sheet and a solid performance.

The U13 Girls lost 2-6 away at Alexandra Park. The Dragons started well, holding AP at bay. Even after going 0-1 behind the Dragons kept battling and equalised to end the first half 1-1.

They conceded one well-hit strike but saw the game out successfully.
The U12 Boys beat Spelthorne Colts 2-0 at home in the Quarter Final of the Middlesex Trophy. The match began in a scrappy fashion, not helped by the referee arriving 10 minutes late.

The Dragons then focused on game management, holding their shape and defending resolutely, to secure a deserved place in the Semis.
