Bath Rugby wins first trophy since 2008, defeating Exeter

Bath Rugby won their first trophy since 2008 by defeating Exeter Chiefs 48-14 in the Premiership Rugby Cup final. This victory ends a long wait for silverware after several near misses, including last season's Premiership final. In a strong performance at Sandy Park, Bath scored multiple tries, with standout players including Tom Carr-Smith and Tom Dunn. Exeter managed to score two tries but struggled to keep up with Bath's dominance, especially in the second half. This win marks a significant turnaround for Bath, who were once a dominant force in English rugby. Exeter, on the other hand, has seen a decline in their performance after years of success.
