Bath overwhelm Lyon to win Challenge Cup
CARDIFF -Bath completed the second stage of what they hope will be a dream treble when they proved too good in all areas for Lyon and romped to a 37-12 triumph in the European Challenge Cup final on Friday. Bath, who won the Premiership Cup this season and who will go into a home semi-final as the clear leaders of the English Premiership, were the better team throughout, but enjoyed the rub of the green in a controversial first half after an Ethan Dumortier try had given Lyon an early lead. Tries for Tom Dunn and Max Ojomoh put Bath 17-5 up at halftime, but they had two men sin-binned, with Sam Underhill extremely lucky not to see red for a sickening head on head challenge, before Lyon had a try ruled out for obstruction. Arno Botha scored for Lyon - 11th in the Top 14 standings - at the start of the second half, but Bath took control as tries for Beno Obano and man of the match scrumhalf Ben Spencer capped a dominant night.
