Dragons vs UCL

Won 6-3


As soon as the whistle blew the Dragons treated UCL like a hunger striking prisoner and force-fed them a Ratty hat-trick. Snowy – drunker than a young Oliver Reed - managed to forget which team he was on and scored for them. Thankfully Gemma promptly served them up dessert of another brace… add to this the after dinner mint of Lou Morgan’s outrageous tap-in and there was no way they were coming back from that - it was a mountain that even Sir Ranulph Fiennes couldn’t climb. George contributed with the masterful saving of a flick while Nick Thomson’s in full Bruce Lee mode used ninja skills to ensure that ever part of his body and stick stopped the ball crossing the line at some point during the game. The rest of the team just took turns in being more brilliant than the latest Dulux white emulsion. If anyone ached after the game it was because it hurts to be this good! As my old mate the cricket coach used to say “it’s so satisfying to hit them for six”.
