The future of rugby in the Towy Valley looks bright after Llandeilo RFC lifted four trophies in a single season to become the best youth side in Welsh rugby - perhaps ever. Over the past two seasons Llandeilo RFC youth have entered seven competitions and won all seven. Last season they went through the entire season unbeaten before backing it up this time around by winning the Carmarthenshire League, Carmarthenshire Cup, Scarlets Cup and the Welsh Rugby Union National Cup. The statistics tell its own story with 18 wins from 20 matches while they have been held to a draw once and lost one time. They have scored 551 points and scored 77 tries on their way to the quadruple.

Undoubtedly the best moment of the season came in the WRU National Cup final when they were trailing Pontypool by two points, but up stepped 18-year-old Ioan Thomas to smash over a long-range penalty reminiscent of Gavin Henson against England in 2005 to seal a famous victory for Llandeilo. "It was really tough to back up last season where we went undefeated and there was a definite level of expectation on us this time around," said head coach Chris Rooke, who also coaches Ysgol Dyffryn Aman and has a role with the Scarlets academy. "We consider ourselves the top youth team in Wales. "This second year group must go down as arguably the best Welsh youth team ever. "They've entered seven tournaments over the last two years and won seven trophies. "Our whole ethos is to improve players and get them better. "At the end of their time with Llandeilo Youth we want them to be a better player and a better person than they were when they started. "We concentrate on the boys having fun and the winning takes care of itself in the end. "This group of boys the resilience that they've shown all year has been outstanding. "They fought hard in some tough games and found ways to win." Llandeilo youth have developed a rich conveyor belt of talent with a number of players representing the Scarlets age grade side while tighthead prop Jac Pritchard has played for Wales U20s, and full-back Sion Jones for Wales U18s.

"He signed a senior academy contract with the Scarlets right at the start of the season. "He played one pre-season game for us before signing his Scarlets contract, so he hasn't been able to play much for us "He's played two of our national cup games and he was man of the match in both of them. "Sion couldn't play in the National Cup final because he was in a Wales U19s training camp but when training in the evening got called off he rang me straight away asking if he could be a water boy. "So, he ran across Cardiff to support the boys by taking the water onto the field and advising them. "He's an outstanding full-back who has also played 10 for us. He played for Wales U19s at the end of the season and he was also called up to the Wales U20s training squad but he injured his ankle so had to pull out. "There's no doubt that guy is going to be a pro. He's just an outstanding rugby player. "We've had a good production line of players who have gone on to play for our senior side and many have been picked up by the Scarlets. "We are surrounded by top schools and a lot of boys go to Llandovery College and Coleg Sir Gar. "There's also Ioan Thomas who has played two games for Brecon in the Welsh Premiership on permit this season." Llandeilo RFC are a prime example of how the talent which resides within the community game in Wales and how it can support the professional game.
