Dublin Dragons Logo

IAFL 8-a-side Senior Team 2002-2003; 2008-2009

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 always struggled in the shadows of their illustrious neighbours, the Dublin Rebels.

They dropped down to the 8-a-side Division 1 in 2002-03 and again the DV8 Development League in 2008 in order to rebuild, returning to full 11-man IAFL in 2004 & 2010.

 They were plagued throughout their history by internal divisions, and in 2015 reformed as the South Dublin Panthers.
