There were wins for Cardiff and Carmarthen in Super Rygbi Cymru in the only two games that survived in a glut of largely weather-related postponements.

Highly-rated teenage hooker Tom Howe scored a hat-trick as hosts Cardiff beat Bridgend 31-0 at Cardiff Arms Park.

Craig Hudd and Ethan Coombes also touched down while fly-half Lloyd Lucas converted three of Cardiff's tries.

Carmarthen Quins won their basement battle at Aberavon 21-3, where Steffan Jones' opening penalty provided the Wizards' only score.

Lewis Morgan hit back with Quins' first try, to which they added a penalty try after the break. Carmarthen crossed for a third time before Madoc Evans sent over a second conversion.
