Bath’s Premiership win is the club’s first since 1996

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Bath to welcome home their Rugby Premiership-winning team.

Bath beat Leicester Tigers in the final at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, on Saturday to win the title for the first time since 1996.

An open-top bus is carrying the players over Pulteney Bridge and up Milsom Street, before heading towards Bath Abbey and ending at The Recreation Ground.

The club will then host a ticketed party in the stadium.

Bath fan Theo told BBC Radio Bristol he was “immensely proud” of the team.

“Everyone’s here. Even if you couldn’t go to the final, you can still see this,” he said.

“We’ve won three trophies and you get to see the players.”

Fellow fan Guy, from Bristol, joked: “I’ve got to be careful because all my neighbours are Bristol fans.

“I’m watching the parade from Milsom Street and it’s brilliant.”

Bath were the trailblazing team in the league this season and went into the final as overwhelming favourites after finishing 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Captain Ben Spencer said on Saturday he “couldn’t be prouder” of the team.

“What an effort – we had to dig deep, fair play to Leicester but I think we deserved it after the year we’ve had,” Spencer added.
