NETBALL: Dunstable Dragons triumph
Dunstable Dragons were crowned Bedford & District Netball League Division Four cup final champions after beating Spirit last week.
A nervy start by the league runners-up, saw Spirit move 3-0 ahead, as it took Dragons over three minutes to score their first points.
They continued to make a few unforced errors, to trail 4-2, but some excellent play by Katy Mullin at goal defence and goal attack Gi Kwan-Kwok, saw Dunstable level at 4-4.
In the second quarter, Spirit again upped their tempo, winning 5-2 to move back in front, leading 9-6.
However, Dragons quickly levelled the scores and completely dominated the third quarter.
