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.

Opening Day Disappointment for Dragons.

​On the opening weekend of the 2021/22 National Basketball League season, the Bradford Dragons succumbed to a heavy defeat [91- 67] away at Team Newcastle University.

The two sides had only met one week previous, when they played out a thrilling group game in the L Lynch Trophy. Having trailed throughout most of the game, the Dragons had fought back to push the fixture into overtime, only to face the disappointment of a single point defeat, rendering the Dragons’ remaining group fixture, against Myerscough Basketball, meaningless.

Dragons bow out of the playoffs

​Bradford Dragons battled resiliently but ultimately succumbed to an 81-69 road defeat against the Hemel Storm on Saturday evening. 

Dragons matched the third-seeded Storm for large stretches, but a disappointing third quarter left Coach Mellor’s team with too much to do in the fourth quarter. 

Winning back-to-back road playoff games was always going to be a tough ask, and to their credit, Dragons never gave up. The Dragons 2020-21 NBL Division One campaign ends at the second-round stage of the NBL Division One playoffs.  :: Read More ::
