Each side also had a man sent to the sin-bin in a game of few highlights.

Neath prop Anthony Lott was sent to the sin bin for an offence that allowed man-of-the-match Dixon to reclaim the lead with a penalty.

Yet the visitors had to weather the last 10 minutes of the match a man down, after replacement Darren Daniel was sin-binned for a very late tackle on Byrne.

Matt Sing was stopped just short of the line by Mark Calderwood, who was sin-binned for holding his man down, while Sean O'Loughlin did well to stop Thomas Lee over the line.

Byrne was in danger of going from hero to zero after his second-half sin-bin but the 14-man Ospreys defence kept the Blues at bay.

In the 50th minute Perry was brought off for Thomas, who had been sin-binned within two minutes of coming on, and Bath took full advantage of the extra man by scoring two converted tries.
