Cardiff retained the trophy in 1984 at Newport with a comprehensive win 30-12 over Newport in the final and so secured their 9th tournament win. Mark Ring became the 6th Cardiff player to win the Everson Award. Newport just beat Glamorgan Wanderers 7-6 and then won comfortably against Ebbw Vale and Pont ypridd to play Newbridge in the S/F where they won through to the final 12-4.
In the final Adrian Hadley and Tony Cordle scored before Newport knew what had happened but Chris Wood hit back with a try before Julian O’Brien completed his hat-trick in just 3 minutes. Hadley added a try with Chris Williams and Mike Lewis crossing for Newport. Richie Collins of Newport was the outstanding forward of the tournament.
Cardiff never again won the trophy and only appeared in two more finals up to 1995.
