Camberwell Dragons 14.1 Boys will open Day 2 at the Foot Locker Under 14 Club Championships with a 1-1 win-loss record after splitting today's games against WA team Cockburn Cougars and Canberra.

The Dragons were too good for the Cougars in a 75-55 win in the tournament opener for both teams at Casey Stadium this morning, but couldn't contain contain Canberra at the same venue this afternoon – the Gunners pulling away for an 81-69 victory and their first win at the Championships.

"A bit of a rough second game of the tournament," Camberwell assistant coach Tom Macleod told Dragons Media. "We took some great learnings that we will take into the future games. We are proud of the sportsmanship displayed by the lads."

Owen Trainor had a team-high 17 points to lead the Dragons and was one of three double-digit scorers for Camberwell with Jake Zeunert (13) and Bailey Russell (11).

The Dragons' campaign resumes tomorrow with a 3pm game against Norths Bears (2-0), while Canberra (1-1) will square off against Cockburn (0-2).
