Dragons V Gowerton at Bishopston
We played Gowerton at the weekend. It was another good game for the Dragons.
Before the kick-off we practised picking up a rolling ball from the ground, running and passing. The boys are really doing well. Their skills are improving all the time. Ben really impressed me with his passing skills.
In the game itself the dragons boys defended really well. I watched David launch himself through the air to grab a tag and stop Gowerton from scoring! Aedan scored some fantastic tries.
I find it really hard to remember who did what. On the pitch it all happens so quickly with small children everywhere!
Nigel, Rhian and I were impressed with how well the dragons played. They outperformed their coaches! I noticed half way though the game that I had set up the pitch like a square and Nigel made some dubious calls as the referee; which invited heckling from our own parents!
See you next week for more of the same against Pontardulais(on a bigger pitch!).
Mark.
