Bradford Dragons finish 2014 on a high!!

22/12/2014

Bradford Dragons travelled to Leicester Warriors on Saturday afternoon and came away with a 63-81 victory to finish 2014 off on a high note.

With club captain Vance Silcott returning from international duty in Montserrat, head coach Chris Mellor had the unusual luxury of picking from a full squad. But, with a record of only two wins from nine so far this season, the Dragons knew that they could ill afford to finish the year off with another defeat.

Bradford Dragons were stunned by a last second buzzer-beater, leaving them on the wrong end of an 82-83 score-line against Worthing Thunder.

At the end of the third quarter, the Dragons appeared to be down-and-out, facing up to an 18 point deficit. However, following an incredible final quarter performance, they fought back to be leading by 2 points before Worthing’s Milton Chavis let fly with a last second shot, from the halfway line, to deny Bradford the victory.

8/12/2014

Bradford Dragons travelled to Newham (NASSA) Neptunes on Saturday knowing that they badly needed a win in order to get their faltering season back on the rails, having lost their last six games, the longest losing streak in the clubs history.

Bolstered by the additions of American centre, Chris McGrew and British point guard, Nathan Ashley, who both re-joined the club last week, the Dragons ousted their southern rivals to come away with a well-deserved and long-overdue 59-77 victory.

The Neptunes took the initial quarter, going into the first break with a three point lead, at 22-19. But the travelling Dragons took control of the game in the second period, restricting their hosts to only 10 points, and sending them back to the locker room facing a five point deficit (32-37).
