The Dragons U20s lost out last night as the Scarlets came, saw and conquered their hosts in the WRU Reebok Championship.
There were five tries in all for the Scarlets who led 14-0 in as many minutes and 28-5 at the interval. High performance manager Darryl Hill said, "We got off to a great start and that was that. We were a long way ahead at the interval and things were a little more even in the second half. However, we have got to be pleased with winning away here."
Centre Richard Thomas and full back Daniel Evans both helped themselves to a pair of tries whilst replacement scrum half Justin James added the fifth late on. Evans added five conversions to finish the night with 20 points.
Not even yellow cards for Alex Jenkins and Matthew Evans could put a dampener on an outstanding performance from the Scarlets.
Meanwhile the Blues' continued their domination of this season's championship thanks to a 25-19 victory over the Ospreys.Wing Gareth Jones set the ball rolling with a try for the Blues before the excellent scrum half Tom Isaac added a second and a penalty try followed shortly after. Full back Kristian Baller weighed in with two penalties and as many conversions to round off another outstanding night for the region.
Wings Lee Halfpenny, with two, and Jason Howells bagged the tries for the Ospreys who, against the odds, actually led as the game moved into overtime. However, the Blues had enough in store to rally late on and take the victory points.
Tom Cole added the extras for the Ospreys with two conversions but it was a night that belonged to the Blues, who now top all three age grade tables.
