Dunvant V Dragons. (Away). 24/11/13.

We played Dunvant at their ground today. The weather was cold but if you play rugby in Wales it goes with the territory! The new jerseys have arrived and look fantastic. Thank you to our sponsors your help and Nigel for his design. The rugby was less than fantastic! We were not at our best today and need to make more tackles. Things need to improve next week or Mal and I will lose our voices! Sorry about the photo of Tom. This wa a slight error. He does deserve a special mention as supporter of the week for dressing in Mumbles colours. Luca was our captain today. Man of the Match was Lewis who was everywhere today. He tackled, scored trys, supported others and applied pressure at Dunvant re-starts. Tackler of the week was Rhidian. Mark.

New jerseys will be issued on Sunday when we play Dunvant

Our new jerseys have arrived!!!! Nigel's design looks great. We will issue the jerseys on Sunday when we play Dunvant. Please arrive at 10:30. I also have some larger socks. If yours fit please keep them. If you need larger socks please wash, pair and return to me so that I can issue them to someone else or pass them on to a younger team. Thanks for your help. See you on Sunday. Mark.

Dragons V South Gower. (Home). 17/11/13

The second of our the games today was against South Gower. The coaches are really pleased with the improvement in our performance. All the boys played well today. There were some crunching tackles and great supporting play leading to trys. Thank you to Nick who has bought a new trophy for the team. The Tune Tremendous Tackling Trophy TTTT will be awarded each weak! The first winner of this prestigious award was Rhys. He put in a crunching tackle towards the end of the South Gower game. The parents could hear the thump at the side of the pitch! Captains today were Will (New Dock Stars Game) and Lewis (South Gower Game); both did a great job. Player of the week was awarded to Aeadan. Thank you parents for your support. Hope you enjoyed the rugby. Mark.

Dragons V New Dock Stars (Home). 17/11/13.

The Dragons Played 2 games today against the New Dock Stars and South Gower. We has a great game against the New Dock Stars with a strong first half. Both teams were evenly matched with some great rugby. Mark.

Gorseinon V Dragons (Away). 10/11/12

Wow Dragons you were brilliant today! We played our friends Gorseinon at their home ground. The game was evenly matched with both teams attacking and defending well. Areas for improvement are tackling and passing quickly so that we maintain momentum. Rhidian was the captain this week. Choosing player of the week was very difficult as the whole team played well. The parents decide to award this the trophy to James. Well done boys; as one of the dads said "this is the best he has seen you play". Mark.

Dragons V Vardre (Home). 27/10/13.

The Dragons needed gills today! With the storm approaching our plucky Dragons played Vardre in Bishopston. As you can see from the photographs it was awful weather; character building! Theo won our player of the week award this week for some excellent tackles. Well done boys. See you at training on Thursday. Mark.

No game against Bonymaen. We will run a training session. 20/10/13

Sorry for the late notice but we have just heard that Bonymaen don't have an under 9's team. There won't be a game this Sunday, 20/10/13, but Nigel will run a training session. This will be held on our normal pitch at Bishopston from 10:30-11:30. Nigel will be on his own this week so I am sure he would appreciate some help from the parents. I am off to do my rugby referee course! Mark.

New training venue and times. Bishopston school gym. 19:00-20:00.

We are moving to Bishopston Secondary School gym for our winter training. The gym is located behind our normal pitch. Training will be an hour later than normal from 19:00 - 20:00 each Thursday. The gym has a hard floor so the Dragons will need trainers and track suit trousers so they don't hurt their legs. We will be practicing tackling in the sessions so head guards and gum shields are still a good idea. When the weather and light improves we will move back to Whitestone school and train on grass at the earlier time. Mark.

Dragons V Vardre. Home. 13/10/13.

We played Vardre at home today. We were ok but not as good as last week. We need to try and pass the ball out to the players on the wings....remember Dragons that "One and run is no fun, two from the base gets you space!" If the boys could apply the skills we learn in training and use them in the games we may be a force to be reckoned with! There was some great play from Aeadan, Lewis, Noah, Sam, Joe and Rhys. Our captain today was Luca who was also our player of the week, well done. As the weather is changing and its getting darker its likely to be our last training session at Whitestone. We are going to book an indoor venue this week. Thank you parents for your support. See you on Thursday. Mark.
