MATCH SUMMARY: Another convincing display from Worcester Cavaliers sees them blitz an ill-disciplined Bath United side to book a place in the final of the Aviva A League.
James Percival got Worcester’s first as they trailed 13-10 at the break. But further tries from Mat Gilbert, Josh Draininiu, Leonardo Senatore and Charlie Mulchrone in the second period knocked out Bath, who had two men binned and one sent off in the closing stages.
