Rob LloydNews

It’s time for the last game of the 2025-26 season, and what a rollercoaster ride it has been! 

We’re back at Parc y Scarlets for one final time this season taking on Dragons RFC in round 18 of the BKT United Rugby Championship. We’ll be saying farewell to players moving on at the end of the season and welcoming you all on to the pitch for our inaugural Sosbanfest!

Here’s everything you need to know about what’s going on in and around the stadium.

The match kicks off at 17:15

Can I buy tickets on the day?

Please do not park in residential streets around the Parc. We would also like to remind people not to park on grass verges around the stadium as this causes damage to the surrounding environment and also blocks routes used by the emergency services. Vehicles parked illegally may be clamped or towed away. 

Please also be aware that neighbouring retail parks are operating parking restrictions using vehicle identification cameras. Fines will be issued for those who exceed the time limits.

Is there a bus service?

Yes, there is the regular shuttle bus and a bus service from Carmarthen, which stops in Kidwelly, Burry Port, Coleg Sir Gar and Dominos, Llanelli in operation for this game. The last bus leaves Parc y Scarlets at 21:00.
