Back in March, Brickfields was packed with community spirit as Albion took on Rosslyn Park the dedicated St Luke's Men's Day Out fixture, in front of a crowd of 2,542 supporters. But this wasn’t just any match. Albion took to the field in a truly unique kit designed by a talented six-year-old pupil from Widey Court Primary School.

The winning design featured the iconic Smeaton's Tower, a proud emblem of Plymouth’s maritime heritage and a beacon of the community. Chosen from dozens of imaginative entries, the finished shirts were not only a symbol of creativity but also a way to raise vital funds. Every penny of sponsorship and shirt sales went directly to support the incredible work of St Luke's Hospice, whose care touches so many lives in our city.

Recently, Albion managing director Max Venables visited Widey Court to personally present the young designer with a signed version of her winning kit. This special moment was shared with Georgina Dyke from St Luke's Hospice and Colin Aldworth, associate director at Nevada Construction Ltd.
