Wing Ashton Hewitt grabbed a stunning try on his comeback as Dragons produced a blistering attacking display to defeat Scarlets 34-17 in pre-season and lift the Worthington’s Challenge Trophy.
All eyes were on the returning Hewitt as he made his first appearance for 16 months after a serious shoulder injury – and the wing wonder took just five minutes to announce his return.
After a number of quick darts off his wing, Hewitt collected the ball out wide off turnover ball and brushed off his opposite number before darting over to a huge home ovation.
The game marked Dean Ryan’s first in charge at Rodney Parade and his charges produced a hugely encouraging display with tries from Owen Jenkins (2), Will Talbot-Davies and score from fly half Sam Davies on his home debut.
Don’t miss out on the latest instalment as we tackle Scarlets at Rodney Parade this Saturday afternoon (kick-off 5.15pm).
