Narrow win over Bristol Bears

Exeter Chiefs' women came through a scare towards the end of the Premier 15s semi-final at Sandy Park to win a place in the final.

They will play Saracens after beating Bristol Bears 28-24.

With just three minutes to go, Bristol were narrowly ahead, but a Chiefs throw-in and maul took them over the line with a try, swiftly converted.

Although the Bears had a final push, an error gave a penalty to the Chiefs, marking the end of the game.

The final will be at Worcester's Sixways ground on Friday 3 June at 3 p.m. - part of the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend.

Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe was seen on the pitch at full-time wiping away a tear.
