Sunday 19th October Result:
The U13's just lost at home to Pinner Albion 2-3 in the Middlesex Cup.
The Dragons were momentarily stunned by the huge size of many of the
Albion side and soon found themselves 0-1 down before equalising to make
it 1-1 at half time. Back on the pitch Pinner were lucky to be awarded a
penalty and then score again to make it 3-1. The Dragons played
magnificently to get back into the game, to score and then bombard
Albion's goal only to be denied the elusive goal by cross bar, goal post
and stout defending. It is always disappointing to lose but the Dragons
performance gives much to be pleased with.
Sunday 12th October Result:
The U13's lost 3-5 away to Springfield. This was very much a Springfield
family affair with their Coach's son reffing and no doubt younger
brother lurking somewhere on the pitch. Unsurprisingly the ref paid
diligent attention to Springfield's linesman but could not see the
Dragons counterpart. Springfield lead 0-3 at the half but were surprised
at the Dragons magnificent depth of spirit which lead to them to pull
back to 3-3. The clinching Dragons goal came, only to be saved by a
Springfield hand which went hardly surprisingly went unnoticed by the
Springfield ref - after all what would you do if your dad was the coach?
Springfield went on to win before losing a player for head butting a
poor Dragon - something even the ref could hardly ignore. Not a pretty
game

The Dragons piled on the pressure but could not quite score the elusive
winning goal.

whistle with just a touch of relief.
