Cardiff will face Llandovery in the Welsh Premiership final at Cardiff Arms Park on Sunday, 21 May (17:15 BST).

Cardiff claimed their place in the final thanks to a 21-7 home victory over Newport in Sunday's semi-final.

They face a Llandovery side who beat Merthyr 16-13 in the other semi-final on Sunday afternoon, which was played at the Drovers' Church Bank home.

Cardiff ended the regular season top of the table, six points clear of second-placed Llandovery.

The capital-city club will have home advantage in the final because of their superior league finish.

The staging of the semi-finals on a Sunday evening had been criticised by the Premiership's top clubs.
