Scarlets app for iPhone and iPad

The Scarlets were created when Welsh elite rugby was restructured a few years ago. The Scarlets played at Stradey Park until October 2008. The following month they both moved to the spectacular Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli.
The famous Scarlets shirt was worn for the first time in 1884 against an Irish XV who had stopped off in Llanelli having played Wales in Cardiff a few days earlier. It has been worn ever since, giving rise to the nickname The Scarlets.
Since the onset of professionalism, the Scarlets have triumphed as Celtic League champions and as semi-finalists in Europes premier tournament, the Heineken Cup.
But its not just famous victories that have given Llanelli such a great rugby tradition - the town and region has produced an almost endless list of talented and world renowned players. They range from Albert Jenkins in the early 1900s to legends such as Ken Jones, Delme Thomas, Phil Bennett, Derek Quinnell and Ray Gravell. In more recent times there have been heroes like Ieuan Evans and Scott Quinnell. In total around 170 Wales internationals and 21 British Lions - as well as Lions coaches such as the legendary Carwyn James (New Zealand 1971) - have been bred at Llanelli.
It is a remarkable story of success in the world of sport.
