BUILTH Wells announced themselves as the best youth side in Wales in emphatic style at the weekend – using the grand stage of the Principality Stadium to saunter to a stunning 27-point victory in the Welsh Youth Cup final.
Vanquished opponents Bridgend Athletic had no answer to the young Bulls who rampaged to a 44-17 victory at the home of Welsh rugby on Saturday, April 23.
The Bulls crossed for seven tries in total, with livewire winger Ciaran Price scoring four of those.

Price tormented Bridgend all day and had bagged himself a hat-trick by half-time – leading to the match commentator suggesting that the right-hand corner where he dotted down each time should be renamed ‘Ciaran’s Corner’.
Powerful and silky centre Alecs Williams and instrumental No8 Iwan Coyle also crossed for tries laced with individual brilliance, while replacement winger Morgan Price put the final nail in Bridgend’s coffin as he barged over for the Bulls' seventh score; full-back Dylan Jones also playing a starring role in his side’s glorious victory.
