2-2 at home against Saundersfoot Sports. Player boss Jamie Stanley scored twice for the home side as Geoff Marsh and a Jake Marsh penalty grabbed the goals that secured a point for the visitors.
The West Dragons home league clash with Pennar Robins was abandoned with barely a minute played as Dragons’ Jordan Thomas dislocated his shoulder, and by the time the ambulance took him to hospital there would not have been enough daylight to complete the fixture. The good news is that Jordan had his shoulder put back in place in hospital and was allowed home the same evening, so now the fixture will be played at a later in the season.
Ambulance paramedics Martin Goodchild and Andrew Thomas treat West Dragons player Jordan Thomas and put him on a stretcher.
