[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 60787"] 25/3/06 [b]Lima wins it late on for Bristol[/b] [img]http://home.skysports.com/images/sports/Bristol/lima_bristol.jpg[/img] Brian Lima's late try gave Bristol just their second win over Gloucester in 17 attempts as they recorded a 20-15 success at Kingsholm. The winger latched on to Jason Strange's clever kick over the top to score and move Richard Hill's side further clear of bottom-club Leeds. The Cherry and Whites will be disappointed to have slipped up on home soil, particuarly after the dismissal of Terry Sigley midway through the second half had helped them out. The substitute prop, who came on for the injured Patrice Collazo after 19 minutes, was shown a red card by referee Wayne Barnes for an off-the-ball incident. With no other replacement for the front row available on the bench, the two teams were forced to have uncontested scrums. That denied Bristol's pack the chance to dominate their opponents after the forwards had helped turn the game round after they had struggled in the opening 40 minutes. James Simpson-Daniel had got Gloucester off to a perfect start in the local derby as he ignored a two-man overlap to gallop in and score the first try of the afternoon. Ludovic Mercier converted the try and then added a penalty soon after to put his side 10-0 up in as many minutes. However, the French fly-half was off target with two further strikes at goal in the first half as the home team lost momentum and began to allow Bristol back in the contest. Strange got the visitors off the mark with a penalty to make it 10-3 at half-time and they came roaring out of the blocks straight after the interval. Gloucester's depleted pack had little answer to their Bristol counterparts and scrum-half Shaun Perry reaped the benefits as he darted in to score on the blindside. The conversion attempt sailed over from Strange and the fly-half slotted over his second penalty of the afternoon after Sigley was given his marching orders. Had it not been for the sending off Gloucester would have struggled to cope up front, but they made the most of the situation when they forged their way back in front. Anthony Allen finished off a flowing move to make it 15-13 and it appeared that would be enough to give Dean Ryan's troops a victory that would maintain their push for a top four finish. However, Lima made sure it was Bristol who had the last laugh, and a first win at Kingsholm in 12 years, when he won the race to the loose ball from Strange's kick over the top to hack the ball on and then force his way over with eight minutes to go.
