Cardiff on course to claim title.

Glam Wands ...............13 Cardiff ........................29 THREE home matches in the space of a week might well confirm Cardiff as Welsh Premiership champions.

The Blue and Blacks last night made it 13 league wins on the trot, taking the capital city derby at Glamorgan Wanderers in convincing fashion.

The run of engagements at the Arms Park gets under way against nearest challengers Llanelli a week today.

They have a rearranged fixture with old rivals Pontypridd on Tuesday week, while Pontypool are the visitors on May 2.

A decent haul of points from these matches could make the trip to Aberavon - at a date still to be announced - academic.

Cardiff, who took the reverse fixture 26-21 back in November, built momentum during the second quarter.

Wanderers made a great start with a kick and chase from flanker Sam Warburton paving the way for a try by wing Robin Lock.

Fly-half Scott Sneddon converted and landed a penalty only for Cardiff to go 11-10 up by the 33rd minute.

Centres Gareth Chapman and Darren Ryan ran strongly to set up a try for lock Matthew Veater while fly-half Gareth Davies touched down close to the posts.

Fly-half Davies added the extras, but a second Sneddon penalty sent Wanderers in with a 13-12 lead at the break.

Cardiff fly-half Davies slotted over a penalty and they went on to increase the lead on the back of a try from replacement Rhys Williams, converted by Davies.

Flanker Damian Welch claimed a close-range try for a bonus point with Davies knocking over a third conversion.

Glam Wands: Tries - R Lock; Cons - S Sneddon; Pens - S Sneddon (2) Cardiff: Tries - M Veater, G Davies, R Williams, D Welch; Cons - G Davies (3); Pen - G Davies
