Leicester Tigers have booked their place in the final of the LV Cup after a 17-16 win over Bath at the Recreation Ground.
The visitors went ahead in the 18th minute as George Ford launched a penalty between the posts.
The Tigers extended their lead just two minutes later when Graham Kitchener capitalised on a fumbled Bath lineout to go over for the try.
Bath finally got on the scoresheet after 25 minutes thanks to Tom Heathcote's penalty.
The home side took a half-time lead as Lee Mears touched down in the corner before Heathcote's conversion made the scores 10-8 to Bath at the break.
Leicester were ahead again soon after the restart courtesy of another Ford penalty, while Heathcote responded once more with a kick of his own to make it 13-11 to the hosts.
Ford fired the ball through the posts once more to swing the tie back Leicester's way, but Heathcote was again on target on the hour to regain a two-point lead for his side.
However, the Tigers edged themselves in front again thanks to Ford's fourth penalty of the night.
Heathcote had a chance to win the match for Bath, but he was wayward with his kick with eight minutes to play.
