| Ben Blair helped his side to victory by scoring 25 of their points, 7 of which came from a blocked kick and a 60 metre dash to the line to score the Blues second try of the game.
Ospreys seemed more determined in the second half and managed to cross the Blues line twice, and converted one of the tries, for the much needed points.
Cardiff Blues finished the game with only 13 men on the field as Mike Phillips was sin binned shortly followed by his team mate Williams.
