In the Pool A dead rubber, Sale Sharks overcame Bristol Bears 41-36 in a highly entertaining match at Ashton Gate.
Sale went into the break with a narrow three-point advantage, scoring four first-half tries through Arron Reed, Sam Dugdale and a double for Nathan Jibulu.
Bristol responded as Benjamin Elizalde, Gabriel Ibitoye and Gabriel Oghre all secured their individual braces, but further tries from Dan du Preez, Ben Bamber and Joe Bedlow saw Sale triumph, with their hosts left to rue a disappointing Prem Cup campaign.
