CARDIFF overturned a half-time deficit to beat in Colwyn Bay.

The opening try came 15 minutes into the first half for the home side.

RGC's Brodie Coghlan broke through Cardiff 's defence and passed to Kieran Henry, who ran it down to the corner for five points. The conversion was missed.

After the restart, Cardiff suffered another blow as former ace George Gasson went off injured and was replaced by Cameron Winnett. Moments later, RGC got points on the board after a penalty in front of the posts was dispatched by Dion Jones.

At 8-0 Cardiff needed some possession. After going through the phases, Cardiff 's Ben Murphy was able to break through for a try.

Cardiff started the second half by putting more pressure on the home side. A line-out deep in their opponent's half led to some impressive defending by RGC.

This was short-lived as the away side managed to get through and secure another five points thanks to Sam Moore. Jack Maynard added the conversion.

Minutes later, the away side were given another penalty after RGC did not release and Cardiff 's Jacob Beetham kicked long to complete the win.
