Club Details: Llanelli Scarlets
The Llanelli Scarlets are one of the five original regions of the Welsh Regional Rugby era.
In 2003, the WRU controversially elected to reduce the current 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.
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 'region' is held by the owners of Llanelli Rugby Football Club.
They reached the last eight of the 2003/2004 Heineken European Rugby Cup and finished the Celtic League season as champions by four points over Ulster.
The Scarlets finished in 4th position in the 2006/07 season. A new stadium is surrently being developed and is due to open for the 2008/09 season.
