The injury hit side found themselves behind when Denbigh scrum half Jamie Winning took a quick tap penalty and streaked over the line for a fine individual, unconverted try.
Cefni fought back, and despite an injury to skipper Will Bown, scored through a Roberts penalty with five minutes of the half remaining.
From the restart kick, Roberts put Llangefni ahead with a second kick, and although the hosts responded with a penalty of their own, the full back soon scored again.
