Thank you to Peter Crawford for his incredible coaching this weekend and to Kiera Dengate, Conrad Szilvasi and Aamar Hussain for sorting all the vids and media out and supporting the team.
Well done to Megan and Zara Howe who were simply incredible on the tables and to Martin Rivers for working hard as RIC.
To say we are proud of the team is an understatement.
Well done dragons!
