Yates: "We're not where we want to be"

Cheltenham Town manager, Mark Yates, admits that the club is below where it wants to sit in the League Two table and his team should be better placed than they currently are.

Cheltenham lost in the play-off final at Wembley last season and it now look as though they might be involved in the play-offs again, having fallen out of the the league's automatic promotion places.

The Robins have three games still to play, starting at home against League Two leaders, Gillingham, on Saturday. Yates says they still haven't given up hope of finishing the season strongly and achieving an automatic promotion berth.

  • BATH 20 - 36 STADE FRANCAIS

Bath's hopes of winning the European Challenge Cup - a competition they last won 5 years ago - were dashed by a strong Stade Francais team.

Star of the show was Fijian Waisea Vuidarvuwalu who scored two first half tries and had a hand in the others.

The French side led 20-3 at the break, so it was important for Bath to get an early second-half score. They did - from a penalty try.

But Stade weren't going to let the hosts back into the game. Hugo Bonneval restored their cushion, and the same player killed the game off when he crossed the line again just two minutes later.

The scoreline was made more respectable when Michael Claassens and Jack Cuthbert scored two late tries, but it's the Frenchmen who go through to the semi-final.
