Heavy defeats at the hands of the Scarlets on the opening day of the season and the Blues and Dragons in recent weeks, left the North Walians without a point to show for their efforts.

However, despite failing in their bid to break their duck for the season, their performance was far improved against a Scarlets’ side who turned around an early 3-0 deficit to win the game 22-6.

Aled Davies, Rheon James, Kirby Myhill and Llyr Morris crossed the whitewash for the visitors with James Morris adding a conversion for good measure.

Having lost out to the Blues early in the campaign, the region has now picked up three wins in four games with yesterday's bonus point taking them to the top of the table, albeit having played one more game than their nearest rivals.
