Heroic Dragons beat the odds

27/9/2014

 
Picture
Bradford Dragons were without the injured Rafi Saipe and fellow newcomers Maciec ‘Magic’ Kosciuk and Tamas Szlavik, whose Basketball England registrations had failed to come through in time.  This left the Dragons with only six available players for their National Trophy game, entertaining a strong Derby Trailblazers, on Saturday evening.

Derby started the game strongly and soon opened up a 5 point lead. However, the Dragons stuck to their game plan and, at the end of the first quarter, the game was tied at 21 points apiece.

Mixed weekend for Bradford Dragons

20/9/2014

 
Picture
Bradford, who are still awaiting the arrival of some key players, struggled to take any sort of control in the game and Manchester’s lead extended at the end of each quarter.  The final score of 51-80, against the Dragons, was reflective of a poor overall performance from Bradford, brightened only by Šulcs, who was the game’s top scorer with 21 points.

SPANISH POWER-FORWARD JOINS UP WITH THE DRAGONS

17/9/2014

 
Picture
Bradford Dragons Basketball Club today announced the signing of 22 year old Spanish power-forward, Miguel Lorenzo. Lorenzo, who stands at 6’ 8”, previously played his basketball with Spanish LEB Gold league team Planasa Navarra, of Pamplona, and brings with him the experience of playing in one of Europe’s top basketball leagues. 

He has also represented the Spanish national team at under 16, under 18 and under 20 levels, winning a gold medal at the 2011 under 20’s European Championships, in Bilbao.

Dragons’ head coach, Chris Mellor, said “Miguel is a player that I am really excited about. He has great experience already, for such a young player, and with his ability to play both inside and out he gives us many options within our offence. He is a smart player, who I think will make an immediate impact.”

Miguel is set to make his debut for the Dragons this weekend, with the home ‘double-header’ against Manchester Magic, on Saturday (6:15pm), and Sefton Stars, on Sunday afternoon (4:15pm).  Both games take place at the Dragons Den, Bradford College Sports Hall, Trinity Road, Bradford.

"But just as important will be the effect he has on the whole team away in terms of preparation and mind-set and educating our younger players."
