The second team game opened with a quick long shot from Dragons player, Rachel Knight, sharply followed by a second nifty running-in shot.  The University team attempted a succession of short shots that bounced off the rim, but eventually they were awarded a penalty, scored by Jack McNamara putting the score at 2-1.  McNamara, who has been training with the Dragons, put that experience to further good use as he then netted the equaliser.

With the first team away in Milton Keynes, the seconds took on their local Uni rivals at Talybont on Sunday evening, giving both sides a valuable run out during a period of inactivity for the league. The Dragons welcomed another debutant, Alex, to the ranks, and her 40 minute appearance was full of promise. (more…)

After a comfortable victory against Invicta, Dragons had to beat Milton Keynes to qualify for the last 16 of the Cup. It looked a tough game as the Bucks had appeared very strong against Invicta, and certainly stronger than the team that had drawn with Dragons in Cardiff last year. (more…)

The opening round of the BKA Cup saw Dragons travelling to Milton Keynes for a rematch of last year, plus Invicta Sharks 2, the reserve side of one of the strongest teams in the country. The first game of the cup saw a youthful Invicta side put pressure on a very experienced Milton Keynes side, but after closing the game to 4-4, MK pulled away to win 9-6.  (more…)
