Dragons Rugby would like to thank a number of individuals who have helped ensure today’s Guinness PRO14 derby fixture with Cardiff Blues has gone ahead as possible.
Managing Director Mark Jones said: “On Christmas Eve a number of our groundstaff at Rodney Parade either tested positive for Covid-19 or were identified as close contacts and therefore went into self-isolation.
“In difficult circumstances we were indebted to a number of key people who stepped up over the festive period and helped us deliver today’s league game as planned.
“Our thanks in particular to Lewis James and Nick Rawlings as without them it might not have been possible to get the pitch ready to host the fixture.”
