Orkney Dragons lift historic first silverware

The celebrations begin for the Orkney Dragons after they were crowned BT Women’s North League champions.

Orkney Dragons lifted an historic first piece of silverware this afternoon, as they won the BT Women’s North League.

Requiring just a point to finish top, the Dragons faced Shetland, and the result was never in doubt, with Orkney going ahead early in the match.

It would be a lead they would not relinquish, running out 39-24 winners.

The full-time whistle signalled the start of the celebrations, with coach Gary Nicolson hailing the achievements of his side in just their second season.
