Northampton sink Bath to lift Amlin Challenge Cup

Winning the trophy for a second time after their 2009 success, Northampton turned around a 13-6 halftime deficit with Myler's accurate kicking and tries in the final 10 minutes from Phil Dowson and Ben Foden.

Myler kicked six from six penalties and a conversion in his 20-point-haul as Northampton, dominant at the scrum and breakdown, applied relentless pressure after the break.

George Ford was successful with three penalties and a conversion for Bath who had crossed for the opening try when winger Anthony Watson touched down.

Northampton will look to secure a trophy double at the end of the month when they face Heineken Cup finalists Saracens in the English Premiership final.
