Mxed Indoor Regionals (17th Jan) - The dragons travelled up to Hatfield to take part in the south east indoor mixed regional's tournament. We drew for the spirit prize with the Mohawks (who were awarded the prize based upon position) although they decided to share it with us! The team consisted of; Ania, Kim, Heather, Tereza, Alex, Billy, Dan, Mark, Petch. We also had the support of Steve on the day as well.
South East Uni Outdoors (31st Jan/1st Feb) - This took place at Chichester University, with the dragons taking a mixed team with between eight and nine players for the whole weekend. This meant only one sub was available at times, making it fairly tricky for the competition. Fun was had by all despite the cold (and snow)!
Lemmington Luau (21st and 22nd Feb) - This consisted of two one-day tournaments. The saturday team consisted of Mark, Lawrence, Billy, Ginge, Tom and Tereza. They played amazingly well, achieving ninth position and winning the plate!
On sunday the team consisted of Mark, Billy, Tom, Ginge, Bum, Petch and Paul Holden. Again the team played fantastically well, coming seventh overall.

The dragons made a fantastic start to the new year with a plate win at frostbite '09. This tournament took place in chilly Poole at the weekend, and was the first time the dragons have played on sand as a team. Having suffered a bit of a slow start being beaten by the eventual tournament winners "milf", the dragons soon got the hand of the new surface and were able to pull back several draws and hard fought wins to finish 9th out of the 16 teams that entered. This was a one day event, leaving us with no party shenanigans to report on. The pictures below show the plate that was received and hopefully more photo's will be put online later this week. |
