Gareth Bowen scores despite Dafydd James' tackle

A seven-minute purple patch brought them 20 points as Stephen Jones kicked his third and fourth penalties and tries by Mark Jones and Garan Evans completely changed the picture.

Fly-half Jones went on to complete a haul of 20 points and Bridgend found possession and points drying up in a rousing finale in which pace and confidence took its toll.

There was little they could do to prevent replacement Gareth Bowen from scoring the Scarlets' fifth try deep in injury time.
