Leeds prove too strong for struggling Bath

LEEDS secured an invaluable 25-14 win over fellow strugglers Bath yesterday as the leading four clubs all won their clashes to cement their position atop the English Premiership.

Chris Bell’s second-minute try helped Leeds establish a 16-6 interval lead against a spirited Bath side who reduced their arrears to two points after the break.

But Leeds ultimately proved too strong and recorded only their third league victory of the season to move within two points of Brian Ashton’s men.
