The Scarlets Under 16 showed all the running flair that has made their senior counterparts so many fans over the years, as they dismantled the Dragons U 16’s 32-0 at Parc y Scarlets.

Full back Jack Evans was the stand-out performer for the hosts, notching up 17 points as the Scarlets showed that West was best on this occasion.

Playing into the wind in the first half, the Scarlets showed good composure and authority beyond their years to steal a march on their rivals.

The Scarlets went ahead as early as the 7^th minute when, after great forward work, the pressure built on the Dragons line and they were unable to stop prop Richard Bassett bulldozing his way over, Evans adding the extras.

The Dragons did their best to hit back but came up against a resilient defence and they were once again on the back foot. A solid scrum on half way provided the Scarlets backs the chance to shine, with Evans on hand showing supreme pace to scythe through the opposition and go beneath the posts.

After the break, it was once again one way traffic as the hosts ran the ball at every opportunity, generating further touchdowns coming from Billy McBryde and Keiron Jones.

In the night's other regional fixture, Blues North were 20-18 narrow
