Although they trailed 13-12 at half time, the Scarlets won the day with a single try in the second half from wing Steffan Evans.

Before the interval, Jake Randall and Gethin Davies crossed for the Scarlets with leading scorer Jordan Williams adding a conversion for good measure.

However, it was the Ospreys who led at half way courtesy of tries from Sam M Davies and Rhys Williams and a Sam Davies penalty.

In the end, the visitors were unable to make their second half pressure count and it was the Scarlets who left with the victory spoils.

Scarlets team manager Wyn Thomas said; “It was an excellent game and could have gone either way.

“We trailed narrowly at half time but Steffan Evans’ try put us back in front two minutes into the half. After that, the Ospreys pressed hard, but our defence was good and for that alone we deserved to hold on.”
