The boot of Cross Keys and Dragons outside half Steffan Jones kept the home team in touch with their powerful visitors in the first-half. While Jones was on target with five penalties and a conversion of Bridgend star Matthew Llewellyn's try, the Georgian's notched three converted tries.
That slender one point lead for the home side didn't last long in the second half as the Georgians notched a fourth and then fifth try. Both were converted, while Richard Carter landed a sixth penalty for the Premiership XV.
The final onslaught earned Sole his try and Aberavon marksman Jamie Davies added the extras to cut the gap to three points. But the Georgians held out in the final few minutes and took the victory.
"It was a great exercise for the Premiership players and proved just how much talent there is in this league. They competed in every area of the game and the Cross Keys front row were outstanding," said Wayne Hall, the Premiership XV team manager.
"There was a rousing finish to the game thanks to Sam Sole's try and the 1,000+ crowd certainly enjoyed a good night of entertainment. The Georgian XV was very strong up front and showed how much the game is developing in their country.
"Our captain, Haydn Pugh, put in a great shift in the second row for us and really led by example. It would be great to have a few more fixtures of this standard for teams in the Principality Premiership."
