Llanelli made to suffer as revenge is sweet for Whites

SWANSEA took revenge on Llanelli for their opening-day league defeat at Parc y Scarlets as they defeated their arch rivals 40-13 at St Helen’s in Group C of the Premiership Cup.

The All Whites opened the scoring with a debut try for Gareth J Rees before two Josh Phillips penalties brought Llanelli back to within a point. Garan Williams crossed for a second home try to regain the lead.

A charging run from Cameron Jones paved the way for Lewis Marsh to score the third try for the Whites, but a professional foul by

Dan Edwards earned the visitors a try and a yellow card for the Wales U20 fly-half.

Ospreys back-row man Harry Deaves converted a driving maul into a fourth home try and regional club-mate Cai Evans added the fifth touchdown to make the game safe.

The victory was made complete in the dying seconds when home skipper Tom Sloane crashed over from close range.
