Trip to Nottingham is next up for Deeside Dragons women

The newly-formed team could not have wished for a better start to their tilt in Division Two North and they have three wins out of three heading into tomorrow’s trip to Nottingham Vipers.

Dragons’ superb start to the campaign continued with their 26-0 derby day win at Manchester Storm B last time out, where Niamh Walsh finished up with a magnificent seven goals.

Charlotte McAdam, Lucy Kirkham, Emmie Lauder, Teagan Walsh, Nylah Young, Sophie Royle, Ellie Mitchell, Ava Langford, Evie Davies, Lana Botes, Alicia Smith and Eleanor Johnson also made their mark to ensure Deeside’s winning start continued.

Leeds Thorns are currently at the top of the standings, one point ahead of Deeside, but they have played two games more than their lofty rivals.

Dragons are next at home when they play Kingston Diamonds on October 17.

There’s a weekend off as far as Deeside Dragons’ senior men are concerned.

Four wins out of four have made sure there’s a positive feeling in the camp and Deeside are in fourth place in the Moralee Division table with 12 points - and they have games in hand over all of the other teams.

Leaders Solihull Barons visit Telford Tigers tomorrow, prior to Sunday’s home clash with Hull Jets. Barons top the table with 19 points from seven games, five points clear of Widnes Wild.

Sunday’s other fixtures: Billingham v Blackburn; Leeds v Telford; Nottingham v Sheffield. Tomorrow: Hull v Widnes.

There are back-to-back home matches for Deeside Dragons Seconds to look forward to this weekend.

Tomorrow, they take on Coventry Blaze, which will be followed by Sunday’s match-up with Laidler Division leaders Sutton Sting.

Sunday’s other fixtures: Bradford v Widnes; Sheffield v Kingston. Tomorrow: Sutton v Widnes.
