Dragons 60 Edenderry Soldiers 20

After the loss to Trinity two weeks all but put an end to the Dragons'
playoff aspirations, the Dragons made a statement in their rematch
with Edenderry that they had no intention of going quietly. Both
teams came out ready to play, and the Dragons took the opening drive
all the way for a TD pass from Dermot O'Callaghan to Tom Lenihan.
Edenderry struck back straight away with an equally impressive for
a score. Again the Dragons drove for a TD, this time from Liam Rowsome,
and after stopping the Soldiers, scored again, this time with Lenihan
blasting it in again. Edenderry have shown all season that they
don't know the meaning of the word "quit", and scored
again to make the score 19-14. The Dragons scored twice more, both
from Tom Lenihan, before Edenderry scored a long range TD to make
the halftime score 26-14. Edenderry scored again at the beginning
of the second half to pull within 6, but that was as close as the
game got as the Dragons repeatedly shut them down. Rowsome scored
his second, then Lenihan scored his fifth of the day, a Dragons
record. QB O'Callaghan plunged in from short range to push the score
to 53-20, before Rowsome finished off his usual impressive performance
scoring his third of the day.
Final Score: Dragons 60, Soliders 20
The Dragons face the unbeaten Craigavon Cowboys in ALSAA Sports
Grounds next week. Kickoff is at 2pm.
