Dragon put in an inept performance against bottom club Headstone, which will make it hard for them to win the title.

Dragon started well and went 1-0 up after only two minutes, when Jamie Frost won the ball and crossed to brother Rees, whose shot at goal was too good for Headstone's keeper.

But instead of going on to score more, Dragon allowed Headstone back into the game when they failed to cut out a cross into their area and a Headstone forward tapped in from close range.

Headstone then got a second, when a player shot through a packed area to make it 2-1.

In the second half, Dragon started well and got back to their passing and moving football, but on this occasion their passing was not up to the standard expected.

Steve Horsfield had a chance to score, when he turned and shot just wide of goal, and Rees Frost had three good chances to score, but all went over the bar.

Headstone killed off the game when they got a fourth. Dragon got caught at the back and a striker ran through to slot past keeper Mick McFadzean.

Manager Mark Peach brought on sub forwards Kojo Savage and Viran Amin, and both did well, but could not find a way through Headstone's defence. Near the end Headstone got a fourth to finish off a bad game for Dragon.

Manager Mark Peach was disappointed with his team's performance, and said: "Too many players didn't give 100 per cent, and thought it would be easy. We got what we deserved nothing."
