After a reasonably disappointing start to the 2019 season the Dragons march back to their den at Jubilee Oval, Kogarah. They’re on some kind of 2 win streak and they’ve really only won those in golden point by a field goal. So you wouldn’t say I am overly confident of them making it 3 in a row.
Anyways the early forecast earlier in the week cast more doubt if I would attend the game but today… well it was just a very nice Autumn’s day.
Shadow was casting across most of the ground but made shooting tougher as players go in and out of the sun. I had a bit of a shocker, not the keeper rate i had been expecting and missed a fair few shots i thought I should get.
Enjoy the pics, and hopefully with a settled team the Dragons can slay a few more teams

That’s 4-0
Okunbor is a handful, Frizell at him all game

Well it’s not when pigs fly but dogs do fly

Ravalawa in to the corner, making it 18-0 at half time
All the entertainment in the 2nd half was on the opposite side of the field. You can see why when you read the score board.
