Dragons scorch competition in Saskatoon

May 3, 2019 | 2:00 PM

The 2019 rugby season is off to a great start for the Saskatchewan Rivers Dragons, after three lopsided wins in Saskatoon Thursday night.

The Dragons played a total of three – 15 minute games. In their first game, the Dragons beat the Krems 27-0. Elijah Mcpherson and Thayne Clarke had two tries each.

In the second game, the Dragons played the Badgers and won 29-5. Jonty Kruger had two tries. Austin Belair and Dante Doell had one try each, their first ever as members of the Dragons.

The Dragons could be a serious force to be reckoned with this season. (submitted photo/ Crystal Clarke)
