It was the first win for the Dragons since Friday 4th January 2008 but the win pushed Wales’s representatives in the 2008-2009 Heineken Cup competition from three to four.

Kevin Morgan opened the scoring against an unfamiliar Ospreys line-up, who were missing seventeen players to injury and Wales duty. A thrilling Gareth Owen run helped get the visitors back into the game before the break, the young full-back setting up Shaun Connor for a converted try.


Colin Charvis, sealed the win with a second-half score and now the Dragons are now out of Connacht’s reach at the bottom of the Magners League table. Both sides had been fighting to make the play-off match between the highest non-qualified Magners League team and the third-placed Italian Super 10 club for the 24th spot in Europe’s premier tournament.
