A glorious sunny day greeted spectators for this St David's Day encounter in Pool B of the Super Rygbi Cymru, and it was the home side who dominated throughout.
Despite an early Newport penalty, it was Ebbw's pack which took control of the game yielding first half tries for Adam Court from a rolling maul, Ryan Gardner following a Gruff Tough break (converted by Evan Lloyd), a penalty try when Newport were reduced to thirteen, and another catch and drive try from Joe Franchi.
Newport scored a try through David Richards.
Half time Ebbw 24 Newport 8
In fairness, Newport started the second half well with a converted try and the respective 10s swapping penalties, before another Newport penalty reduced the deficit to 6 points (27-21).
Following a raft of substitutions, Ebbw's pack took control again, with forward strength helping Sion Parry over the line. Lloyd added the extras and a penalty (37-21).
Ebbw's sixth and final try of the afternoon came when Lewis Young powered over, with Lloyd once again converting.
