THE Dragons took time out of their preparations for the busy Welsh derby season to show support for Food Bank Newport.
Members of the Rodney Parade region's first team squad were out in force this week to learn about the hard work put in by a number of leading charities in the city – and also lend some muscle to their festive efforts.
Wales international Leon Brown, Taine Basham, Lewis Evans, Will Talbot-Davies, Arwel Robson, Luke Baldwin, Rhys Lawrence, James McCarthy, Lloyd Fairbrother, Carwyn Penny and Ashton Hewitt were all guests at Food Bank Newport, based on Cromwell Road.
