The Ospreys have beaten Newport-Gwent Dragons 26-21 in the LV Cup at Bridgend.

The hosts took an early lead as Ross Jones was able to touch down after only three minutes. Matthew Morgan stepped up to successfully kick the conversion.

Steffan Jones got the Dragons on the scoreboard minutes later with a penalty, before another kick on 10 minutes brought his side to within a point of their opponents.

However, Hanno Dirksen stretched the Osprey's lead on 15 minutes when he was able to score a try. Morgan was again on target with the extras to make the score 14-6.

The Dragons were able to go in level at the break after Patrick Leach's try was converted by Jones after half-an-hour.

Eli Walker touched down nine minutes into the second half to put Ospreys back in front, with Morgan extending their lead courtesy of his conversion.

The home side turned the screw just before the hour when Stefan Watermeyer scored a try. However, Morgan was unable to kick the extras.

Luke Williams touched down in the final minute for the Dragons, but his converted try was too little too late.
