Borthwick, Barkley leave Bath on a high

BATH captain Steve Borthwick hailed “a mammoth effort” from his team after they ended their 10-year wait for a major trophy.

England skipper Borthwick concluded his Bath career by lifting the European Challenge Cup following a punishing 24-16 victory over Worcester at Kingsholm.

Borthwick, who joins Saracens next season, and Gloucester-bound Olly Barkley were both given dream send-offs.
