The Deeside Dragons teams paid their respects to the Fallen over the weekend with Remembrance commemorations taking place before their respective matches.

There was a minute’s silence before both D2 Dragons games on Saturday and Sunday and also the Dragons Women’s game away at Nottingham Vipers on Sunday

At the D1 Dragons’ home game against the Nottingham Lions on Sunday, the Buckley Brass Band played the Last Post and Reveille to accompany the silent tribute.

The D1 Dragons players wore special commemorative shirts for the game with a striking design combining poppies and a WW2 fighter plane - and also matching poppy socks. 

The shirts were raffled off after the match and a donation was made to the Royal British Legion.
