IAFL 8-a-side Senior Team 2001-2003; 2007; 2011-2012

Home Ground: Lucan Community College

Colours: Burgundy & Gold

History: One of the original teams in the reformed IAFL in 2001, having their roots in the Dublin Gladiators Flag Football Team, the Dragons also fielded a 2nds team, playing 8v8 American Football in the DV8 Development League. After winning two games in 2002, the DV8 team of the Dragons (2nds team) struggled afterwards, winning one game in 2011, but not being successful otherwise. In 2008 and 2009 the DV8 2nds team and 11-a-side first teams of the Dragons were merged into one DV8s team.
