finish in National One this season. The visitors never looked back after a strong start, as Albion's forward power and slick backline interplay overpowered their hosts.

Rams made the better start, getting off the mark quickly. After two minutes, Oliver Rhoads dashed over the line for the first points of the game, but his try went unconverted, giving the home side a 5-0 lead.

Albion then asserted themselves. From the restart, Ryan Lamb's side showed a hunger and accuracy that set the tone for the remainder of the half. They dominated for the next 15 minutes, with well-drilled mauls, giving them a foothold in Rams’ twenty two.

Scrumhalf, Iwan Jenkins, was orchestrating smart pick-and-go decisions and distributing the ball with precision. Rams did respond to the pressure with bursts of energy from their young back row, seeking to unsettle the Albion pack.
