'Unbelievable!' Welsh school kids score series of stunning tries amid wild scenes at Principality Stadium

Pembrokeshire and Neath Schools under 11s played out a stunning match at the Principality Stadium amid wild scenes of celebration in the DC Thomas Bowl Final.

The two teams traded scores for the match with an abundance of impressive skills on display from the players who were just 11-years-old

The WRU's highlights package makes for superb viewing, with Neath's Jacob Williams showing incredible pace on the outside to get the first try of the match.

Pembrokeshire hit back when Iori Williams came flying in with a great line to score a bulldozing try. The commentator likened it to Cory Hill's iconic score against England back in 2019.

After Neath were controversially awarded the third score, the West Walians showed no signs of backing down. Number four Billy Lamb cut against the grain after a few route one phases, tearing down the outside, bumping off tackles and dotting down for another brilliant score.

The next passage of play was even better as try-scorer Lamb took the ball into contact and Pembrokeshire set up their attacking line with the ball being sprayed towards the right flank. After a smart offload to Leo Werner, he put Pembrokeshire into the lead for the first time with his raw gas.

Neath answered back in some style, with their young winger spinning 180 degrees to avoid a tackle before changing his line and popping a sublime pass out the back door to Jenson Evans, who bounces one and stretches for the try line.

The assist drew gasps from the commentators, who said: "Beautiful! Unbelievable! What a score!"

Neath weren't stopping there.

Vice captain Jackson Evans completed a wonderful move after the ball was stretched over to the left wing, dotting down against the backdrop of booming cheers from the crowd to make it 20-15 at the death.

The scenes at the full time whistle were absolutely chaotic, with the replacements sprinted on to the pitch as match-winner Evans fell to his knees.

Magical.
