Cardiff began their United Rugby Championship season with victory over Scarlets in the first Welsh derby of the campaign, winning away from home in Llanelli.
The result gives Cardiff an early advantage in the rivalry between the two Welsh regions this season, in a competition that brings together sides from Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Italy and South Africa.
Derby fixtures between Welsh regional teams typically draw strong local interest, and an opening-round win over a fellow Welsh side is regarded as a significant early marker for a squad heading into the rest of the season.
