Plymouth Albion
vs
Albion v Darlington Mowden Park – Saturday 4th December Plymouth Albion’s topsy turvy season starts a defining run as the midseason approaches with the visit of Darlington Mowden Park this weekend. With a similarly punishing travel schedule, the team from the far Northeast have had an equally tough start to the season with just one win more on the log than the Ocean Cities finest and they will certainly be targeting their visit to the Brickfields. Of note, and perhaps quite ominous for Albion, is the fact DMP have won four of their last six games. Like Albion, this includes...

It is a difficult scenario for his character to overcome as he suffers the same day over and over again. After the loss this weekend at basement club Tonbridge Juddians, it’s fair to say Albion are currently stuck in a Groundhog Day of their very own. Having travelled up the day before, Albion arrived at the Slade in fine fettle and ready for what was always...
Read more ›High stakes game for Albion Written by Chris Bentley It certainly wasn’t in the grand plan at the beginning of the season but there is no doubt Plymouth Albion face a must win game this weekend as they visit Tonbridge Juddians. Having lost their last 7 games, the London based club have found life tough in their debut National One season. Indeed, a solitary win against Sale and draw with Bishops Stortford are their only positive results of the term. Nonetheless, Juddians are only five points in arrears as they do like to score and have been picking up a...

Read more ›Albion take all 5 in huge comeback win! After the opening season loss to Rosslyn Park, a dejected head coach Damian Welch commented how the result would do his team good in the long term. Following a match forged on 80 minutes of honest endeavour and grit, it would appear his point was just. In a spectacular advert for the National League Division, Albion and Chinnor exchanged the lead four times with the visitors stealing the most unlikely of victories having been down 36-22 with 6 minutes left to play! The game started well for a slightly altered Albion line-up, after...
Read more ›Match report by Peter Redmond / Photography by David Cunningham Plymouth Albion were out-muscled in a bruising encounter with Cambridge RFC which saw them suffer a 17-0 loss at Brickfields in National League One. Having enjoyed a decent run of form coming into this home match Albion gave their all in a tight first half, with the visitors having scored two tries and one conversion by the interval. The second half saw Albi struggle with a bad injury, lost lineouts and a dominated scrum which allowed Cambridge to score once more, shutting Albion out of the game as they dropped into...

Read more ›Plymouth Albion 7 Caldy RFC 26 Match report by Peter Redmond | Photography by David Cunningham Plymouth Albion failed to make it three wins on the bounce after a tough 26-7 defeat at Brickfields against Caldy in National League One. Head coach Damian Welch had hoped to carry some of his side’s recent momentum, which had seen back-to-back wins against Birmingham Moseley and Blackheath, into this match to move away from the foot of the table. But it was not to be, as Albion were outplayed for the best part of the game, with their only try coming in...

Read more ›A pinch of Salter adds to Albion’s winning recipe It was all to play for with a resurgent Plymouth Albion visiting ‘the first rugby club’, Blackheath, on Saturday. Both teams had promised much early in the season but failed to deliver, and both were looking to back up rare wins. After a rollercoaster game, it was the Ocean Cities finest who emerged with a 5-point bonus-point win for their trip back to Devon as the momentum starts to build in their National League One campaign. The game certainly didn’t start well for Albion, however, a bad kick-off receipt allowed Blackheath...
