BRISTOL ENDED A run of four successive Premiership defeats as they continued Sale’s away-day blues with a 32-15 win at Ashton Gate on Friday.
The Sharks have not claimed a league win on the road this season and Bristol extended that sequence following three first-half tries.
Full-back Luke Morahan claimed a double, while hooker Will Capon also crossed, with Bristol posting two of their scores while England international flanker Tom Curry was in the sin bin for Sale.
Late magic at Ashton Gate 🤩@BristolBears get the fourth try bonus point thanks to some absolutely sensational play from Ioan Lloyd!

Fly-half Callum Sheedy kicked two penalties and three conversions, before substitute scrum-half Andy Uren added a bonus-point try during the closing seconds following a sensational piece of play by Ioan Lloyd.
Sale could not build on a solid first 40 minutes when hooker Ewan Ashman and centre Robert Du Preez scored tries, failing to register a point in the second period.
Victory lifts Bristol up to 11th just three points behind Sale, who remain 10th.

With all the very exciting points that they make in the prospectus, you’d wonder why they’d want to sell.
How do you make a small fortune out of a LOI club?……. Start off with a large fortune!
1.3 million and they don’t even own the grounds?
@Stephen Foster: That’s true but it’s still the best LOI ground in the country by far
@Ronan O Connor:
If it has a running track around it is not.
I’d say tallagh is
@Ronan O Connor: eh.. you don’t go to many LoI grounds I take it?
@John Travers: g’wan the LOI
@Ronan O Connor: Has to be Tallaght man. Best ground in the LOI.
@Ronan O Connor: You haven’t been to Tallaght Stadium?
@Stephen Foster: Just like AC & Inter Milan to name but 2. What’s the problem with long term leases?
@John Travers: exactly
McGregor might buy it he’s been looking to purchase a football club
@John Kelly: the only thing he will actually pay for is silence ..
@Ciaran: and fines
Limerick FC all over again. The initial investment doesn’t pay off when not enough fans come through the gate or into the club shop.
@Mogh Roith: the problem is not being able to sign players until you have the fixture list for the following seasonr. Most clubs can’t sign players to multiple year contracts, only 9 month ones. So all the big clubs have to do is wait until the end of the season and offer a 2 year contract to a free agent
Will they accept Blaa’s as payment?
Thought the headline said Watford at first…..would have bought shares of that was Watford’s value…
