Division 3 Results 2024/25
The Dragons 3 team continues its re-launch. Our 3rd tier group is composed of a few old hands and a group of battle-hardened (from last season) not so fresh faces, with a few additions.
The team fought well last season with an excellent 2nd= place finish, but lost out on a tie-break.
All 3rd division results are here, while grading calculations are here.
