Albion ready for 'big challenge'

The packs collide, action from Albion versus Leicester Lions last weekend

Both sides boast a 100 per cent record with an immaculate four wins from four and maximum 20 point haul as well but it was Rotherham that overtook both teams at the top of the table last week following an outrageous 71-12 thrashing of Bishop's Stortford.

Rotherham head to Leicester Lions today, who Albion accounted for last weekend, with a 45-22 win at the Brickfields. However, all attention has now turned to today’s trip to the capital.

"Rosslyn have always been a tough side at home,’ said head coach Ryan Lamb ahead of today’s game. “It hasn’t been a good hunting ground for us the last few seasons so it’s a really big challenge, but we hope to take the momentum of the last four games and go up there and get a result.”
