Dragons Head Coach Martin Coyd said 'I was present today and was delighted with the skills and athleticism of the players who are showing that there is real progress and development in London. There is tremendous depth in all the age groups now and it will be a major achievement to get into RPDC when it begins in 5 weeks'
'All the lads from The Dragons had a real dig and left nothing out. The standard of caoching and the games was very high. The scene is being set for a great 2012 season in London & The South and I am sure it will be a hot summer of Rugby League'.
