A hard 2024/25 season in Division 1 saw the Dragons second team fighting for the title but only getting second place.
We lost out in the promotion battle and remain in Division 1.
We normally do well in this division but some of our strength is required in the Premier Division.
All 1st division results are here while grading calculations are here.

After coming in second, the third team lost a play-off and so were destined to remain in Division 3.
However a league restructuring moved them up to Division 2, where they will need to play hard to survive.

After an administrative hiccup last year, the Dragons were back in the Spens Cup and achieved glory after winning the final by the narrowest of margins! The photo shows 4 of the 5-man team (Mark having scarpered to catch a train): Wally, Tom, Isaac (holding the cup) and Neil.
