A seven-try performance from Wales under 16s was enough to claim a 38-12 victory over Cumbria in Colwyn Bay.

A double for both Daniel Barlett and Kaden Johnson as well as tries for Jake Nottingham, Cory Westerman and Issac Wheatley ensured Wales backed up the victory against England with a commanding performance before the rematch in September

Cumbria scored twice in the second half thanks to tries Josh Blinkhorn and Alfie Johnson, but Wales’ first-half ruthlessness ensured the victory was never in doubt.

There was an early score for Wales as Lloyd Mcewen-Peters broke the line before finding support in Nottingham, with the centre going over in the corner.

Wales once again found joy out wide but this time down the left as Ethan Stebbings used his pace before getting the ball to Bartlett who used his strength to fend off the defence before he forced his way over.

A brilliant team try followed as Dafydd Morgan found Calum Jones who broke the Cumbria line before offloading to Johnson who used his pace and went over.

Just minutes later Jones and Johnson combined again for a similar team try down the left side as once again Johnson outpaced the full back to score his second.

A loose ball was picked up by Morgan before Barlett went from dummy half and powered his way over for his second.

Another dart from dummy half extended the hosts leads, as Wheatley spotted the opportunity to score. A dominant final 15 minutes of the half meant the young dragons went into the break with a 32-0 lead.

Cumbria scored the first points of the second half as they made the most of a 40/20 as Blinkhorn spotted the gap and dived over.

The visitors once again went over after Alfie Johnson picked up a loose ball up after a stab through on the final tackle before dotting down unopposed.

Wales got their first points of the second half as Westerman stepped the defender before battling to put the ball down to extend the home sides lead.

A second half fightback early in the second half from Cumbria was not enough as the strength and experience of the Welsh side showed and managed to close out the game.
