RGC……………………….. 21 Cardiff………………….25
Cardiff maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign with an impressive win on the road against RGC in front of a 1,326 crowd.
RGC's indiscipline cost them, being down to 14 men twice for two yellow cards in the first half, while Cardiff were forced to make a midfield shuffle after an injury to first-choice fly-half Ben Burnell early on.
The home side took an early lead with two quick penalties by fly-half Sam Rogers, before Cardiff hit back after a period of pressure and were awarded a penalty try when Afon Bagshaw was shown the yellow card for a deliberate knock-on.
The visitors took full advantage and made their extra man count with a penalty by centre Harrison James before replacement Jacob Lloyd crossed for a try to make it 15-6.
RGC replied with a third penalty before the home side's indiscipline let them down again when scrum-half Efan Jones was shown yellow for a second professional foul to make it 15-9 at the break to Cardiff. Olly Robinson crossed for his try in the second half to stretch his side's lead before RGC hit back with a try by Bagshaw and Christian Hone, but it couldn't stop the visitors getting the win.
