Bridgend……………… 12
Cardiff………………….29
CARDIFF ran in five tries to maintain their challenge at the top of the table as they ruined their former back-row man Zach O'Driscoll's 100th game for the Ravens.
Playing into the wind in the first half, they piled on the pressure and managed to draw first blood from a scrum in the home 22. They moved the ball wide to the right and Theo Cabanago was able to go over in the corner.
The second try for the visitors came midway through the half when Wales U20 full-back Jacob Beetham burst through and went over for a try that he converted.
To their credit, the Ravens fought back and cut the deficit to one score before the interval when Dewi Cross broke to score.
There was a lot of kicking at the start of the second half and Cardiff profited from it when Max Llewellyn crossed for their third try with a cutting counter attack.
Bridgend held their line for another 20 minutes before flanker Gwilym Bradley got the bonus-point try for the visitors.
Once again the Ravens hit back with a try from Harvey Nash, which Matthew Jones converted, but Cardiff ended on a high with a fifth try from replacement scrum half Rory Harries which Beetham improved.
