BATH will have to end their eight-year Powergen Cup drought the hard way after yesterday's quarter and semi-final draws.

The Premiership leaders must travel to Yorkshire to face Leeds Tykes in the quarter-final in February.

And if they get through that, John Connolly's men will face the winner of the Sale/Saracens last-eight clash for a place in the Twickenham final.

Elsewhere, Pertemps Bees director of rugby Phil Maynard welcomed his side's Powergen Cup quarter-final draw at Zurich Premiership champions Wasps as the chance to put the club on the map.

The Bees, formerly Birmingham and Solihull, are the only non-Premiership club left in the competition and were handed a daunting trip to Wasps in yesterday's draw.

"We are disappointed we didn't get a home draw because we would have fancied our chances against any Premiership side at our place," Maynard said.

"But it's a great chance for us to give the club a national profile and to put rugby in Birmingham and in National One on the map.
