On 27 February The Dragons played some really good rugby despite the poor weather.

We thought the ospreys and ostriches game would help develop reaction times and tagging skills. What it did do was to identify those Dragons with initiative; more commonly know as cheats!

Last week, 6 March, Dexter won the bulldog game, again! Sam really impressed me with the quality of his passes. Will and David scored fantastic tries in the tag game.

Next week the tide is in and we will need to play at a different venue.

Training times are now displayed on the right hand side of the Blog page.

See you next week.

Nigel, Mal and Mark.

Some fantastic photos from Luca's dad

We had a great session last week. It was nice to be back on the beach after a couple of cancelled training sessions.

We were joined by some new Dragons.

I was really pleased with the rugby, especially the tag game at the end.

After the rugby we went back to the club for hot dogs.

Hope to see you on the beach next Sunday.

Nigel and Mark.

Dragons hit the beach again after the Christmas break

The Dragons were back on the beach today after the Christmas break. We had a great time in lovely weather.

The team looked fantastic in their new jerseys.

We welcomed a new Dragon to our team today. Roan played really well and scored 2 tries in his fist game. Well done!

Dexter won the bulldog game and then beat the rest of the team who were trying to tag him. Luca did some fantastic tagging.

I was really pleased with how everyone played today but we still need to improve our passing and catching. If you get a chance try and practice this at home.

See you on the beach next week,

Mark, Nigel and Mal.

This Sunday will be the last session of the year. To celebrate Christmas the other Mumbles junior teams are going to join us on the beach. We then plan to go back to the clubhouse for hot dogs. Please try and join us if you can.

If we have to cancel rugby because of the weather I will send a text and put a post on the blog.

I hope to see you on the beach at 10:45 on Sunday 19 December.

Mark.

High tides and freezing temperatures resulted in us playing in the afternoon for the first time.

The weather was bitterly cold but the 7 hardy Dragons who braved the cold at Caswell beach were brilliant. It was so cold that I did not bother with photos this week!

We were joined by Luca who scored 2 tries in the Tag game at the end of the session; well done!

The blue team played some brilliant defensive rugby under the expert coaching of Mal.

I am sorry for the disruption. We are back on Caswell beach at 10:30am on Sunday 5 December.

I hope to see you on Sunday.

Mark.

Another nice day on the beach.

The Dragons appeared to have lost the ability to tag! Our game of bulldogs could have gone on for ever. After we got over that problem everyone played really well.

Thank you Mal for helping us with the tag game.

Player of the week was Alex who scored a great try in our game of Tag at the end of the session. Well done.

I think we also showed South Gower, who were training on the beach as well, just who was the better team!

See you next weak,

Nigel and Mark.
