Round Up: Reebok Regional U20

The Blues U20 heaped more misery on the struggling Dragons, beating their rivals 50-3 in the WRU Reebok Regional Championship at the Memorial Ground.

Furthermore, even better news for the Blues was that last season’s Wales U19 Captain Sam Warburton played his first game of the season, albeit as a replacement.

The Blues were in command from the first whistle and tries from Josh Hannan, Jevon Groves, Dan Franks, Scott Andrews, a penalty try, Luke Ford, Rhys Williams and James Thomas earned the hosts, who led 17-3 at the interval, a comfortable bonus point success.


Scrum half Luke Evans kicked four conversions with Ford adding a fifth. For the Dragons, who have won only one game so far this season at any level, kicked a consolation penalty through Jason Tovey.


Team Manager Darren Joy said, “It was an excellent performance and it was great to see Sam coming back after a while away from the game.


“Luke Ford and James Thomas were outstanding in the second half whilst captain Jevon Groves was a dominant figure. All in all we are very pleased.”


Tonight the Ospreys U20s entertain the Scarlets at Llandarcy Academy with the hosts hoping to build on their impressive start to the season.
