An entertaining afternoon under fantastic sunny skies saw the visitors, Scarlets prevail over the Reds.

Jersey were first to score when Otto broke through and off-loaded to Howe, and could have extended that lead had they landed a penalty. Scarlets bounced back with three first half tries of their own to go in leading by 5-19 at half time.

There was an interesting battle all afternoon in the scrum, and Jersey more than held their own against tough opposition.

Scarlets extended their lead, and it wasn't until midway through the second period that Jersey had a chance to test out the ol' favourite 'catch and drive', which brought due reward.

Jersey scored four tries in the second half, the last a PT that brought up the final whistle, but unfortunately the home kickers weren't on target from the kicking tee, and could have ended the afternoon closer than the scoreline suggests.
