Time:80'- Bristol
- Worcester
80' Jason Strange goes for the drop goal - but it's charged down by the Worcester Warriors, and that's it! Great win for them, but a sad goodbye to the Mem for Bristol! 22-21 to the visitors at full-time.- 78' It's a five-metre scrum for the home side. Can Bristol say goodbye to the Memorial Stadium with a win?
- 74' Ward-Smith drives for the Worcester line. But he's held up just two metres out. Bristol are pushing hard for this score.
72' David Hilton - another man making his last appearance for Bristol - gets a round of applause as he's replaced by Peter Bracken.
72' Bristol come desperately close to going over for their first try, but Lemi is held up by a great Benjamin tackle at the last!
69' And Drahm makes it! Worcester take the lead for the first time since the opening minutes!- 68' Now it's Worcester who have a chance from a penalty. With the wind behind him, Drahm should have a chance with this. It's about eight metres in from the right touchline, but it's a fair way out.
- 63' Strange doesn't make it this time though.
- 63' Yet another penalty in range for Bristol.
- 60' Linklater is on for Regan at hooker for Bristol.
- 58' Benjamin returns from the sin-bin.
- 57' Sam Tuitupou makes another great break for the line but just fails to score!
- 51' Shane Drahm, on for Carlisle at fly-half, scores with the conversion from the corner to make it 21-19. Just two points in it then!
51' Worcester get right back in it with a try from Rico Gear! The Kiwi outpaced two men in the corner before touching down for Worcester's third try!- 49' It's another three points for Strange from the resulting penalty. The Bristol half-back has scored all his side's points in his final appearance for the West Country side!
48' Miles Benjamin is sent to the sin-bin for a late tackle! Worcester down to 14 again!- 47' Another penalty to Bristol, which Strange kicks to make it 18-12!
- 45' Bristol make another change. Sam Cox - in his last game at the Mem - comes off for Brew.
- 43' And Strange does the business again with his right boot to make it 15-12.
- 43' Bristol win a penalty in a kickable position.
- 41' Bristol have made a change at the break - Graeme Beveridge is on for Perry at scrum-half. Presumably the England man picked up an injury.
41' And we're under way in the second period.- HT The players are coming out for the second half.
- 40' That's the last action of the half, as the teams go in all square at the break.
- 40' Joe Carlisle with the chance to level the scores - and he makes it! 12-12.
- 39' Sam Tuitupou scores a brilliant try for Worcester after a jinking run set up by a poor Perry clearance for Bristol!
- 35' Oh dear! A bad afternoon so far for Joe Carlisle, who smacks his kick wide of the left-hand post.
- 35' Now Worcester win a penalty to the left of the posts. Carlisle will have another go, and it's much closer this time.
- 33' Worcester have held on to most of the possession since going down to 14 men.
- 30' Tom Wood is sent to the sin-bin for Worcester for not letting Perry take a quick penalty.
- 28' Strange slots it home right-footed to make it 12-5 to Bristol. The home side looking good for a farewell win at the Mem.
- 30' Bristol win another kickable penalty.
- 27' Carlisle's kick doesn't have the legs to make it over though.
- 26' Bristol are penalised for hands in the ruck to give Worcester a penalty just inside the 10-metre line. Carlisle will go for goal.
- 24' Cox has a clearance kick charged down by Worcester - but he recovers well and is awarded a penalty, from which Bristol will clear into the visitors' half.
- 23' Strange slots his third penalty from 18 yards out to make it 9-5 to Bristol.
- 22' Perry launches an attack for Bristol - and eventually the home side are rewarded for their attack with another penalty. Strange to take.
- 20' Line-out to Bristol on the half-way line.
- 11' Jason Strange puts Bristol in front for the first time this afternoon with his second penalty kick - 6-5 to Bristol.
- 7' It doesn't take Bristol long to get back in it though. The departing half-back Jason Strange kicks a penalty to make it 5-3 to the visitors.
- 5' Joe Carlisle with the chance to make it 7-0 - but he can't make the conversion.
- 4' And Worcester draw first blood with a try from Miles Benjamin!
- 1' We're under way at the Mem.
- - Worcester have only won a single away game all season, but they did win the reverse fixture at Sixways earlier in the season.
- - Ninth-placed Bristol say goodbye to the Memorial Stadium this afternoon before their temporary move to Newport, and will certainly look to sign-off in style.
- - Welcome to LIVE coverage of Bristol v Worcester from the Premiership.
