Bristol Bears ran in nine tries on their way to a record victory over Bath in the Premiership Rugby Cup on Friday night.
A blistering first half saw Pat Lam's side storm into a 40-7 lead in front of another bumper crowd in BS3, with the bonus point wrapped up inside 20 minutes.
Rich Lane opened the scoring with his try in Bears colours and Jack Bates doubled the advantage shortly after, slaloming his way through the Bath defence to touch down under the posts.
Bryan Byrne powered over from a well-worked driving lineout and when Niyi Adeolokun added a quick-fire double before the half-hour mark, the Bears had opened up a 35-0 lead over their near neighbours.
Dave Attwood grabbed a sixth try of the half on 35 minutes, before Mackenzie Graham got Bath on the board on the stroke of half time.
Joe Simpson and Tom Prydie touched down early in the second period to hint at a Bath fightback, but George Kloska's close-range effort put the Bears out of reach, with Mitch Eadie and Piers O'Conor adding the gloss to a record scoreline against Bath.
