Dragons Players At Bradford Charity Game

Dragons senior players Matty Barlow, Rhys Edwards and Damarni James took part in a charity match at Bradford in aid of Blood Cancer UK.

The game was part of Bradford Ice Rink’s 60th anniversary celebrations and featured a number of current and former Bulldogs players. 

All three players learned their early hockey at Bradford – who have a highly respected junior development programme – and also played for the Bulldogs in the Laidler Division.

The game was played in front of a capacity crowd and a number of Deeside fans travelled to support the event and cheer on their Dragons heroes.

Damarni’s “White” team beat Matty and Rhys’ “Blue” team 11-8 but more important was the fact that over £2.000 was raised for the charity - and a good time was had by all.
