The Guinness Premiership game between Bath and Gloucester at the Recreation Ground on Sunday Dec 27 2009.
Bath claimed their first Guinness Premiership home win since April after subduing Gloucester in a dire west country derby at the Recreation Ground.
Fly-half Nicky Little guided them to victory, landing four penalties as Bath prospered from Gloucester's indiscipline before substitute Jack Cuthbert and wing Matt Banahan posted late tries.
Little added the conversion to Banahan's interception dash as the England international celebrated returning from suspension and signing a new Bath contract in style.
Wales international Nicky Robinson booted a penalty and prop Alasdair Dickinson touched down for the visitors, who have now gone almost three months without an away league success.
And they could have few complaints, being outgunned during the second period when Bath cranked up the intensity levels.
Bath scored 21 points after the break, setting them up for next Saturday's trip to face Leeds Carnegie, who are just one place below them in the Premiership and remain relegation favourites.
Gloucester must regroup for new year league appointments with Worcester at home and Newcastle away after delivering another performance that fell way below their standards of previous seasons.
