The U18’s faced 5th placed Pitshanger FC at Birbeck, trying to cement a top 2 position for the season.
They began brightly and controlled the game but as has happened of late, paid the penalty for some poor final balls and finishing by conceding from some naive defending at a set piece.
They were 2 down shortly after the break allowing the opposition to cross too easily and not marking tightly enough in the middle.
It looked all over as the Dragons had an obvious goal chalked off with the opposition linesman refusing to admit it had crossed the line and the referee failing to spot an obvious ball had crossed the line by 2 yards at least.
But heads never went down as this clan of Dragons is made of strong stuff and once the switch was made to the emergency 3-5-2 it was one way traffic.
Two super free kicks from the inform right winger drew them level and a flowing move through the middle allowed the Dragons to smash the winner home with 10 minutes to go.
Once more the team showed some character to come from two goals down and grab all 3 points, but clearly made life hard on themselves by wasting at least 15 chances.
Next opposition will be the big West London derby at home against Chelsea FC elite at St Marks.
