News Highlights


Dragons weather the Storm but fall in Derby.

​Bradford Dragons faced another double header weekend, against two sides that are fighting for a home berth in the end of season playoffs. Having trailed for the majority of the game, the Dragons clawed back from a massive seventeen point deficit to clinch a spectacular 87-79 victory against Hemel Storm, in the Dragons’ Den on Saturday evening. Then, in a complete turn of events, Bradford led for the most part of Sunday’s high scoring fixture at Derby Trailblazers, but a late surge from the hosts saw them take the win, 106-99.

Saturday’s game was the reverse of the previous weekends fixture in Hemel Hempstead, in which a vastly depleted six man Dragons’ side were on the wrong end of a nineteen point difference between the two sides (91-72). This time around, Bradford did add an extra body to their bench, but were without their two three-point shooters, Dave Walsh and Steve Towell. :: Read More ::

Dragons stop the Rebellion & tame the Lions

The Bradford Dragons got back to winning ways at the weekend, winning both games in a home double header. The Dragons beat Essex Rebels 80-78 on Saturday evening at Calderdale College’s Inspire Centre, and then followed up with a 100-80 victory against BA London Lions on Sunday afternoon.

In the reverse fixture against the Rebels, back in November, the Dragons had controlled the game and built up a big lead, but in the final quarter Essex had hit back strong and came within three points of the Dragons total (85-88).

Dragons can’t overcome Leaders Thunder

Dragons off to a winning start in new home

​Bradford Dragons got off to a winning start in their new home at Calderdale College’s Inspire Centre, beating Reading Rockets by a narrow three point margin, 93-90, on Sunday afternoon.

The Dragons opening weekend extravaganza had been disrupted by the postponement of Saturday's fixture against London Lions II, due to a minor Covid outbreak amongst the students at the Barking Academy, home of the Lions.

Despite a poor start to the season, the Dragons have been boosted recently by a run of four successive victories, broken only last week by defeat at current league leaders Solent Kestrels, In which a strong Dragons performance pushed the Kestrels all the way. :: Read More ::

Dragons get the monkey off their shoulder

Bradford Dragons picked up their first league win of the season with a three points victory [85-88] against the Essex Rebels on Saturday afternoon.

The Rebels, currently sitting bottom of the table, had a 0- 5 record going into Saturday afternoon's fixture. Also winless, the Dragons, had failed to win in their first four games of the campaign, having played one game less than their hosts, due to last weekends postponement against the Nottingham Hoods. Whatever the result that would be at least one less team without a win by the end of the afternoon.​ :: Read More ::
