August 28 is TRU Finals Day at Fletcher's Fields Dragons Secure 2nd Place and Ready for the Playoff The Dragons First team banged out a hard fought win against North Halton on a wet day at Eglinton Flats on Saturday. Paced to a bonus point win by an inventive opening try by lock Scott Knight and two spectacular late tries by Fullback Simon Debelle and Centre Don MacKinlay, the Dragons overcame the downpours and spirited North Halton resistance to secured 2nd place in the TRU A table. The Dragons now prepare for the round robin playoffs in August and the goal of a TRU Cup Final on August 28th.
As North Halton announced that they couldn't field their seconds team, An undermanned Dragons Second Team fought hard in a losing cause in a replacement match against the Bay Street Pigs. Two Hard Fought Wins Against the Bucs Under sunny skies with no hint of the oppressive weather of the week, a strong showing against spirited Buccaneers opposition saw the Second team return to winning ways and the Firsts continue the roll started last week.
A strong line up for the Seconds saw tries from scrum half Lenny Yarde, number 8 Fred Beserve, centre Jas Singh, wing Uriah Martin, lock Andy Leskur and fly half Nick Hails, who also added 4 conversions, pace them to a 38 - 19 win.
The First team ran into a spirited Bucs team who didn't look like a team that has not yet won and hasn't had any luck scoring this year. Tries from wing Sean Robertson, fly half Kurt Magney, flanker Andrew Royce, lock Nick Reaburn, and fullback Simon Debelle who also added three conversions and one penalty off his boot made it a comfortable win in the end.
The men of the match were for the seconds Jas Singh and for the firsts Simon Debelle. 2010 Summer Practice Locations This summer's the Senior Dragons are practicing at Rosedale Heights Collegiate on Tuesday Nights from 6:30:
