Tom Prydie kicked a first half penalty for the Ospreys, but it was not enough to deny the North a 6-3 victory which, come the end of the season, could prove significant.
Blues High Performance Manager Gafyn Cooper said, "It was another good night for the region and we are obviously delighted with the two results.
"The Dragons are always a difficult side to beat, especially as they seem to be turning out some big, powerful packs this season. However, we stood up to that and came away with the points.
"The North's result is even more impressive. The Ospreys rarely lose on home soil, so to go down there and restrict then to a single penalty tells you something about the spirit and desire that exists within that team."
