The Dragons led by 23 points at quarter time, but were slowly pegged back by the bombers , who finally drew level halfway through the final term. However, goals to Hate and Ljp86 sealed the win for the visitors. Hate and WFL led the Dragons in the wet, while KohPhi and miggs were best for the vanquished.
