After two defeats Dragon put in a much-improved performance with an 8-3 win over Radlett Rangers in the league.

Striker Jamie Frost opened the scoring when he headed in a Rees Frost cross. Rees than got his first when he got onto the end of Lee Boarman's defence-splitting pass to make it 2-0.

Radlett pulled one back when a striker shot through Dragon's packed area. Defender Darren Sherwin made it four when he jumped Ranger's defence to head home a Jamie Frost corner.

Jamie got his second with a strike from outside the area. The first half was all Dragon as Rangers caved in. Rees Frost got two more, one of which was a long-range shot that gave Radlett's keeper no chance.

The goal of the game was scored by Mark Horsfield, who brought the ball down outside the area and shot into the top right corner of Radlett's net.

With the game all but over, the second half was a disappointing 45 minutes. Radlett managed to score two more, but there were few chances as Dragon snuffed out Ranger's attacks.

Jamie Frost then completed his hat-trick when man-of-the-match Chris Drant made a good run from defence into Ranger's area, and was rewarded when his pass to Frost was slotted past Ranger's keeper.

Drant could have scored himself when he went past four Rangers players, only for his shot to go wide.

Manager Mark Peach was pleased with his side's improved display, and said: "The lads responded well, and put in a much better performance."
