'You can keep your World Cup'

Bath 24-16 Worcester Warriors


Bath ended a decade of near-misses by emerging victorious from a brutal European Challenge Cup Final win over Worcester.

Two tries in five first-half minutes from Nick Abendanon and Jonny Faamatuainu clasped a firm grip on the trophy, and the sublime boot's of Olly Barkley and Butch James ensured Bath ended a five match final losing streak,

The referee didn't have his best game missing a blatant forward pass from Lee Mears in the build up to Faamatuainu's crucial score.

Thinus Delport gave the voicferous Warriors travelling support something to cheer about with an injury-time consolation but it provided little more than a biding memory with the South African full-back following Shane Drahm and Drew Hickey to Japan.
