A full wrap of all the Dragons lower grades results from round nine of the Junior Reps season and round five of the Knock on Effect and Jersey Flegg Cups.
Knock on Effect Cup
With their first win of the season within touching distance, the Dragons instead suffered heartbreak as their four-point lead vanished in the final seconds of the match via an Eels try in the far right corner. The try went unconverted to leave Bronx Goodwin's team with a hard-fought draw against the in-form Eels which included tries to Connor Muhleisen, Jaiyden Hunt, Alex Lobb and Sione Finau.
