Cheeseman stars for Bath

12 April 2012

Bath took another significant stride towards the Guinness Premiership play-offs after they inflicted a 23-20 defeat on Worcester at Sixways.

Centre Tom Cheeseman scored three tries, allowing Bath to stay afloat despite the best efforts of Worcester wing prospect Miles Benjamin.

Benjamin, 19, a product of the Worcester academy system, claimed two high-class tries that underlined his burgeoning reputation as a ruthless finisher.

His performance set the tone for a spirited Worcester recovery from 16-8 adrift before Cheeseman administered the killer blow.
