However, the Dragons fought back, with Michael Gabrael making a break from centre-field to score a crucial try.
The hosts showed their fighting spirit with Jesse Williams crossing the try line after a brilliant pass from David Afu.
Shadi Hammoud, making his Jersey Flegg debut, successfully converted the try from a tough angle, narrowing the scoreline.
