Rising Hope Dragons (year 5 September 2024) - Weekly Rovers Wizards

Weekly Rovers Wizards 3 - 2 Dragons

(Probably the most one sided loss we will ever have🤣)

The Dragons were the dominant side in this encounter, taking the lead with a fantastic long-range strike from Eric, putting them 1-0 up. However, despite controlling the game and creating numerous chances, the Dragons were unable to convert further opportunities and were punished as the Weekly Wizards equalized before halftime.

The second half began much like the first, with the Dragons maintaining possession and continuing to create chance after chance, but the Weekly Wizards' goalkeeper was in superb form, keeping the Dragons at bay. Against the run of play, the Wizards took a 2-1 lead with just their second real opportunity of the game.

Benni then made a world-class save to keep the Dragons in the game, but they were eventually rewarded for their efforts when Ray latched onto a cross from Noah to make it 2-2. However, with time running out, the Dragons were caught again, conceding a free-kick that put the Wizards back in front. Despite pushing for a late equalizer, the Dragons couldn't find another goal.
