Llanelli Scarlets
Encyclopedia
The Scarlets are one of the four professional Welsh
regional rugby union
teams. Based in Llanelli
, south-west Wales
the team play at the Parc y Scarlets
stadium. They play in the RaboDirect Pro12, as well as competing in the LV= Cup and the Heineken Cup
. The region was originally named the Llanelli Scarlets but was renamed at the start of the 2008–09 rugby season, following the lead of the Ospreys in 2005.
The Llanelli Scarlets were founded in 2003, as one of the five (now four) regional teams created by the Welsh Rugby Union
(WRU). The Scarlets are represented by the Llanelli RFC
, Carmarthen Quins
, Llandovery RFC
and Narberth RFC
. Through the 2007–08 season, they played most of their games at Stradey Park
in Llanelli
, but they have also played matches at the Racecourse Ground
in Wrexham
. The club's new stadium, Parc y Scarlets
(Scarlets Park), was constructed in nearby Pemberton, and opened in November 2008.
In 2003, the WRU elected to reduce the top tier of Welsh professional rugby from nine clubs into five regions
, attempting to mirror the successful formats in Ireland
and the Southern Hemisphere
countries of South Africa
, Australia
and New Zealand
.
Initially it was planned to have a region playing at Stradey Park, with players coming from Llanelli, Swansea and Neath. This was then modified to have Llanelli and Swansea merging while Neath joined with Bridgend. Llanelli were opposed to both plans and requested stand-alone status. Eventually Llanelli (along with Cardiff) were allowed to stand alone. On 7 July 2003, the Llanelli Scarlets brand was officially launched.
The Scarlets officially represent the whole of West and North Wales, based mostly around Llanelli
, although attempts have been made at taking the club to other outposts such as Wrexham
. Ownership of the Scarlets brand is in the hands of Llanelli RFC
which also runs a second team in the Principality Premiership in the same way as Cardiff.
side of the preceding year, the Scarlets carried that success forth into their inaugural season. They reached the last eight of the 2003-04 Heineken Cup
and finished the Celtic League
season as champions by four points over Ulster
. In the Heineken Cup, the Scarlets were drawn in Pool Four along with Northampton Saints
, Agen
and Border Reivers
. The Scarlets won five of their six matches, losing only to Agen, and finished at the top of their pool. Nonetheless, they were defeated by French club Biarritz Olympique
27–10 in the quarter-final.
The following season, however, was less successful. Plagued by injuries and retirements, as well as the transfer of influential fly-half Stephen Jones
to Clermont
, the Scarlets finished a disappointing fifth in the league and were even less successful in the Heineken Cup. The Scarlets won just two of their six pool games, leaving them third in the pool behind Northampton Saints
and Toulouse
. The salvation of their season came in reaching the final of the Celtic Cup
, where they lost 26–17 to Munster
.
In the 2005–06 season, the Scarlets again failed to qualify from their Heineken Cup group and finished 6th in the Celtic League. They did however find more success in the newly-restructured Powergen Cup
. After finishing at the top of their pool, they defeated Bath
by one point in the semi-finals, setting up a dream final for the organisers, who were determined that cross-border competition was the way forward. The Twickenham
final was a tragic let-down for the Scarlets, with several international players missing, and they eventually went down 26 points to 10 to London Wasps
. In the Heineken Cup, it was a similar story to the previous season, with the Scarlets winning two of their six fixtures, and they finished third in the pool again, behind Toulouse and Wasps. However, their sixth place finish in the Celtic League secured a place in the Heineken Cup tournament for the 2006–07 season as the second best Welsh team in the league. They also re-signed Stephen Jones
and full-back Barry Davies extended his contract to stay with the Scarlets. The Scarlets' Director of Rugby, Gareth Jenkins, had been appointed as Wales' national team coach, having been with the region since its inception. Phil Davies, then coach of Leeds Tykes, replaced Jenkins at the Scarlets.
At the first home game of the 2006–07 season, an information sheet was handed out to supporters with details of the club's financial situation. Currently there is opposition by local residents of plans by the Scarlets to move to a new stadium and sell their current ground for housing development. The information sheet stated that due to delays caused by the opposition and benefactors pulling out of the club it is "extremely unlikely that (Llanelli Scarlets) could survive to the end of the present season unless other financial assistance is found" which would result in "the loss, probably for all time, of professional rugby in West Wales." Local residents believe however that the infrastructure, such as roads and schools, will not cope with 450 new houses being built on the site. On 28 November 2006, the regions secured investment from Tim Griffiths, a London-based businessman.
In the 2006-07 Heineken Cup
, the Scarlets recorded one of the most famous victories in their brief history as a region, defeating Toulouse
41–34 away, despite twice trailing by 21 points. This was an unexpected victory despite the Scarlets having won their first three games of the 2006–07 competition. They later secured their place in the Heineken Cup quarter-final with a convincing 35–11 win over Ulster
at Ravenhill
. The Scarlets went on to become only the fifth team in the history of the competition to win all their pool matches (they would be joined two hours later by Biarritz
). The Scarlets beat current holders Munster
24–15 at Stradey Park
in the quarter-finals, but were beaten 33–17 in the semis by a strong Leicester
side, putting an end to their hopes of making it "third-time-lucky" in Heineken Cup semi-finals. On 30 April 2008, Phil Davies
was controversially sacked as the Scarlets' head coach. The reasons for his departure remain unclear but it is believed that he found out via the media before being informed by club chairman Stuart Gallacher.
In 2008, the Scarlets dropped the prefix "Llanelli" from their name in order to reflect their regional identity. The Scarlets moved from Stradey Park at the end of November 2008 to a new ground at Permberton called Parc y Scarlets
. The final Scarlets match played at Stradey Park was on 24 October 2008, against Bristol
in the group stage of the EDF Energy Cup
. The Scarlets won with a score of 27–0 in front of a capacity crowd which included former Llanelli captains such as Delme Thomas and Phil Bennett.
The Scarlets' first match at their new home was a Celtic League fixture on 28 November against Munster
. The Scarlets lost this match 18–16. Their first Heineken Cup match at Parc y Scarlets was held on 12 December against Ulster
which ended in a draw of 16 all. Both matches were held with reduced capacity, as law requires that a new stadium hold three events at reduced capacity before it is authorised for its full capacity. The official opening ceremony was on 31 January 2009 when the Scarlets faced the Barbarians
.
(also the home of Llanelli RFC). However, they have played several games in North Wales, at Wrexham
's Racecourse Ground
, to promote the region's geographical representation. The 2006–07 season was planned to be the last season played at Stradey Park, which was subsequently be demolished for the building of apartments. The Scarlets played every home game of the 2006–07 season at Stradey Park to commemorate the historic ground. They played their last ever game at Stradey Park on 24 October against Bristol, and their first game at Parc y Scarlets on 28 November against Munster.
The new home of the Scarlets and Llanelli RFC, known as Parc y Scarlets
(Scarlets Park), is in Pemberton. The new stadium cost £23 million to be constructed and holds 14,340 spectators. The first game held at the stadium was Llanelli RFC
versus Cardiff RFC
held on 15 November 2008. The stadium's main stand is located on the south side of the ground, and houses the new Scarlets museum and club shop, as well as a sports bar, the players' changing rooms and a players' gym. Stadium blueprints planned for the main stand to be about 20 metres (65.6 ft) tall. Outside the stadium there is a training barn for the players, as well as a training pitch and athletics track. The remainder of the site is taken up by the Parc Trostre
retail park.
