| An exciting weekend ahead is in prospect with TWO Cup Finals: – Saturday 9th May: The Dragons U15 Girls play Aspire in the Capital Girls League Cup Final with a 12.10pm KO Sunday 10 May: The Dragons U12 Boys play SYS in the Middlesex Cup Final with 10am KO. Both at the neutral MCFA ground in Rectory Park, Ruislip Road, Northolt, UB5 5FA. All welcome to join in the excitementBack to recent results: The Firsts lost 7-8 to Jolof Sports at home. A disappointing result for the Dragons but entertaining for the neutrals. The Dragons conceded poor goals despite scoring a fantastic number and performing well in the final third. The Dragons did well considering their goalkeeper had to leave the pitch which left 10 doughty Dragons defending without possession whilst still trying to win the match. The whole team and staff know that it was a game they could – and should – have won. The Blues beat Holy Rood 4-0 away. A convincing win for the Blues and a clean sheet. The Dragons were in control throughout and did not concede more than a single chance the entire game. The Old Dragonians beat Dar United 5-4 away in their last game of the season. With their final goal the Old Ds sealed promotion and sit at the top of the Division. In quite a remarkable season, the Dragons have not lost a game in the 2026 and have set a completely new standard for themselves, being one of the most dominant and formidable teams in their competitions. The U12 Boys beat London Athletic 1-0 away in their Semi Final of the League Trophy. The Dragons faced a strong Athletic side in a tightly contested game. The first half was evenly matched, with both teams creating chances but unable to find a breakthrough, going into the break at 0-0. After the restart, LA increased the pressure and pushed forward with more intent, but the Dragons’ defence stood firm, consistently blocking attempts and limiting clear chances. With around 10 minutes remaining, a scramble in the box led to a loose ball, and the Dragons capitalised to score what proved to be the decisive goal. The Dragons held on for a victory to secure their place in yet another Final. The U13 Girls narrowly lost 2-4 away to Brent Schools. The Dragons started slowly and it took them the first half to get used to the wider pitch, allowing Brent to bag goals. They recovered and then came out after the break to dominate the second half, holding Brent at bay and out-scoring them in the period. In the end, time was running out and the Dragons – despite playing themselves back into the contest – were unable to capitalise on their chances in front of goal All other Youth Boys and Youth Girls teams had no scheduled games. |
