April saw our club awards night and the league awards, in which several Dragons players gained recognition. Only 1 Dragons player managed to make it into the team of the year, compared to 4 for Bristol City which shows how well we played as a team to beat them. Twice.

Full winners and more photos below.

Victory over Bristol City meant that although other teams have games in hand, Dragons cannot be overhauled at the top of Division 1. Bristol City can finish level on points by winning their remaining games, but would lose out on head-to-head record - just as they did last year.

With the seconds clinching their title on Monday, it’s been a great week for the club. Big congratulations to all the players who made it all happen.

31-1 Remco Broekhuis (8), Chris Gubby (6), Angharad Morgan (5), Lee O’Sullivan (3), Joey Niblett (3), Amy Shillabeer (2), Josh Cockburn (2), Rachel Knight (1), Sian Hunt (1)

After two successive defeats, a game against a Horfield side missing several key players looked promising for getting back to winning ways, but the performance was better than could have been expected, with the shooting that had misfired so badly against Exeter being particularly good. (more…)

16-3 Rachel Knight (4), Gareth Thomas (3), Sian Hunt (3), Josh Cockburn (2), Caroline Lowdon (1), Gwen Jones (1), Magnus Dons (1), Steve Fung (1), Alex Thomas, Pete Obee.

A fine performance from Dragons seconds, who managed to regain some of the fluency they’d shown earlier in the season.

Thanks to the sterling efforts of Sian and Susan we’ve got a couple of news items on korfball in Wales on the BBC website.

• The first was a preview of the Wales team, featuring three Dragons, entering the Commonwealth Korfball Championships.
• The second is an overview of korfball for the South East Wales site
