The win is Dragons' fifth of the Superleague season, their best win rate since 2014.

Dragons head coach Tania Hoffman told BBC Sport Wales:

"I'm very happy with that win. The girls ground that win out in what was a very physical game.

"We've still got to learn that when we take a lead we have to keep going, but overall I thought both our defence and attack did very well."
