Following a fine season in the Blue, Black and White, Obano claimed both the Most Improved Player award and Best Forward.

Banahan, won the Supporters' Player of the season and edged out Semesa Rokoduguni and Zach Mercer to claim the Top Try Scorer Award.

As one of the most consistent performers of the 2017/18 campaign, it was Brew who took home the Players' Player of the Year award with the Welshman pipping Elliott Stooke and Club Captain Matt Garvey to claim the accolade.

Jonathan Joseph beat off stiff competition from both Rokoduguni (v Saracens) and James Phillips (v Worcester Warriors) to win the coveted Try of the Season award for his solo effort against Worcester at the Rec in October.

Josh Bayliss followed in the footsteps of fellow back rower Mercer to win the Academy Player of the Season award after a breakthrough year for the 20-year-old.

The late Geoff Pillinger was also celebrated, as the former Bath player, selector, coach and member of the Club's Heritage Project won the Spirit of Rugby award.
