Wonderful Warrens guide Drovers to landmark win

THE Warren brothers joined forces as Llandovery claimed their first win at The Wern with a defeat of Merthyr.

Former Wales and Dragons centre Adam Warren crossed for two of Llandovery’s scores, while younger brother Aaron got another to earn the visitors’ back-to-back wins at the start of the new campaign.

“We’ve achieved something we have never done before and that is win away at Merthyr,” said Llandovery head coach Euros Evans.

“To come away with a bonus point is the cherry on the cake for us.

“Adam proved his quality and I can’t really believe that he isn’t playing for the Dragons, but we won’t complain about that and are delighted he is with us.

“He was outstanding, and to see the impact he has had around the squad and our attacking game is there for all to see.”

Warren senior crossed for a brace of first-half tries, with prop Jamie Hughes also crossing twice before the younger Warren ran in Llandovery’s final try.

Full-back Jack Maynard kicked nine points for the visitors, while former Wales scrum-half Tavis Knoyle and wing Dafydd Thomas crossed for home tries.
