England win Dragon Cup

England have thrashed Wales by 67 points to regain the Dragon Cup.
Played at Albert Road Recreation Ground in London, England went into the match slight favourites based on their 5 point win in Cardiff a week earlier.
Eager to return the Dragon Cup to its rightful home, England slayed the Red Dragons with a dominant first half display, restricting Wales to only two goals.
Another great game by Will Worthington saw him voted best afield as well as the 2009 Dragon Cup medallist. Solid contributions were also made by Jason Battye, young Lewis Brackstone, Rob Kerr and Adam Bennett.
