The Dragons under 16s kicked off their WRU Age Grade Championship season with a 25-11 victory over Blues North at Merthyr.

Coached by Dragons no.8 Lewis Evans and with Jason Tovey, Hugh Gustaffson and Dan Lydiate also lending a hand this season, the visitors were good value for their outstanding success.

A Callum Phillips try and two first half penalties gave the North, who reached the final last season, a real chance of kicking off their season on a winning note.

However, having been locked together at 6-6 at half time, it was the Dragons who took control after the interval with tries from Hallam Amos, Jack Dixon and Dominic Franchi.

Ethan Davies added to his two first half kicks with a second half conversion of Dixon’s try whilst Niall Martin improved Franchi’s score late on..

Dragons team manager Wayne Pugh said; "We are obviously delighted to have got off to a winning start.

"It was always our aim to bring in some of the senior players to coach the side and to be honest, by what we have seen already, they are doing a decent job."
