Gloucester defeats Bath 23-5 in Gallagher Premiership clash

Gloucester secured a 23-5 victory over Bath at a sold-out Kingsholm, maintaining their position at the top of the Gallagher Premiership standings. Despite Bath dominating much of the first half, Gloucester's defensive performance and late scoring allowed them to pull away.

Gloucester's tries came from Freddie Thomas and Max Llewellyn, with George Barton contributing through two conversions and three penalties. Bath's only score came from a Kepueli Tuipulotu try, though the match was marked by several disallowed attempts for the visitors due to TMO reviews and ball security issues.

The match was physically intense, featuring multiple yellow cards. Gloucester's Ollie Thorley and Ciaran Knight were sent to the sin bin, while Bath faced injury concerns as Santi Carreras and Guy Pepper were forced off the pitch.
