After a very promising start to the preseason, coach Damian Welch’s Albion side suffered their first loss to a very well drilled Exeter University side. With the support of Exeter Chiefs, they have certainly become a force to be reckoned with after a meteoric rise to the Southwest Premier division in the space of 10 seasons. Fielding a much-changed side, Albion themselves were also bolstered by four Chiefs Academy players, including a familiar name to the Brickfields faithful; Nowell, only this time It wasn’t Jack but his younger brother Frankie! He was joined by Max Norey, Danny Southworth, Bailey Williams...

Boasting a former Harlequin and Exeter Chief in their team and coached by Albion favourite Gaz Evans, the visiting Okehampton squad will have had high aspirations catching Albion on a short turnaround. Sadly, for them, this season’s crop are made of stern stuff and, built upon a very solid forward platform, there was only going to be one winner at the Brickfields. Six tries in total combined with a near faultless performance from the tee by Tom Putt ensured a 40 -0 victory that shows the already increasing strength of Coach Damien Welch charges… With the short turnaround, this was...

Well over 500 days since they last took the field in a competitive game, Plymouth Albion started the post lockdown era in a highly competitive game with local rivals Redruth.   Coaches Damian Welch and Ryan Lamb will be heartened with the win but know there is a fair bit of work to be done to ensure the team are competing at the top end of National One this term.   The game started with Albion charging out of the blocks and it was only a last-ditch tackle on the impressive John Dawe that stopped a try before there was...

As part of the ongoing drive to revamp the Brickfields site for the start of the 21/22 season, the club is proud to announce a new three-year distribution and sponsorship deal with the UK’s largest independent drinks wholesaler LWC.  The most notable aspect of the deal is the rebranding and redecoration of the old Bidfood Marquee into the new ‘Old J Rum Marquee’. With a huge variety of Old J rums available, there will be a dram to suit any palate! The club faithful will also be especially pleased to note that, as a part of the deal, Budweiser, Thatchers...

Coach, Damian welch has released details of the pre-season schedule for Albion as they prepare for the National League One kick-off. “With the spectre of COVID and adaption back to rugby as we know it, getting things lined up has not been like cracking eggs with a stick. We are very lucky to have Graham Hannaford behind the scenes whom, along with Nigel Sparrow, has ensured we have three home games to get us up and running. I must also offer a big thank you to Okehampton for taking a midweek game to ensure we get three hit outs before...
