Dragons Under-18s Forwards Coach George Nott praised the progress made by the team this season as they powered past RGC Under-18s at Ystrad Mynach.
The home side wrapped up a nine-try 59-29 win with scores from Ioan Duggan (2), Ryan Jones, Guy Thomas, Evan Barber, Jack Woods, Oscar Watkins, Harry Rees-Weldon and Dray Jack-Griffin.
And Nott – who has been helping coaching the team this season – gave a positive refection on the performance.
“We expected a score line like that as we gave the boys a licence to play,” he said.
“You don’t do that lightly; you do that if the players are up to it and have good skill sets.
“There were lots of tap and goes and quick play which was reflected in the score.
“We are constantly looking for improvements. We conceded more than we would like, and we have given them a point on the road.
“We need to get better on a few areas. Discipline is a recurring issue.
“We are buzzing with the win, but we will be critical about a few areas too.
“It’s only a short season for the boys, but to see the improvement from the start, individually and as a team, they have improved a lot,” he added.
“It is rewarding as a coach to see that and it’s exciting for them as individuals to see how good they can be.”
Dragons Under-18s are back in action on Wednesday (February 8) evening (kick-off 7.15pm) when they face Scarlets Under-18s.
Nott said: “We take it game by game so we will create a game plan for that.
“We’ll be looking for improvements. The boys have shown glimpses on what we can do, it’s about being consistent now.
“One thing we have driven home has been about that togetherness and you are starting to see that reflected in the performances. We will keep building on that.”
Season Members and Under-16s gain FREE to the game on Wednesday evening between Dragons Under-18s and Scarlets Under-18s at Ystrad Mynach. Adult entry is £3.
