 Powergen Cup Final - Leeds 20 - 12 Bath - soccer24-7.com Forums
Leeds Tykes lifted the Powergen Cup for the first time in their history after an heroic defensive display set up a 20-12 victory over Bath at Twickenham.
Leeds came into the match as underdogs and spent almost the entire second half holding out inside their own half, although Bath's backline was so woefully short of inspiration they never actually threatened the try-line.
Leeds winger Tom Biggs was penalised for a crude trip and Malone slotted the penalty, then added another one shortly afterwards for failing to roll away in the tackle, bringing the score to 13-9.

Leeds won this match because, despite living off scraps, they were patient and took their opportunities when they came.

LEEDS Tykes’ five-year stay in the Guinness Premiership has come to an end despite a valiant effort to prolong their top-flight status.
Leeds, searching for a way to stay in the Premiership, threw the ball around with reckless abandon, highlighted by a breathtaking breakaway try from Tom Biggs that began on their own 22 to make the score 21-17 and briefly raise the possibility of a dramatic win.
Even after Leeds had been reduced to 14 men by the sending-off of Stuart Hooper for a second yellow card, they would not be cowed, and with Marshall doing his best to drive them forward they laid siege to the Irish line in a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable.

With the clock running down, however, Leeds stole the show with a well-taken team try as four offloads out of the tackle down the right wing sent in Marshall for a fitting winning try in what was an open and entertaining encounter.
