Victory would be just the tonic for Albion fans


The game at the Hertfordshire-based club back in September was heart-wrenching for the Albion faithful to say the least.

Three second half yellow cards from Albion saw a 3-19 half-time lead relinquished, as Bishop’s scored 29 unanswered points to snatch a 32-19 win.

Since then, this weekend’s visitors have had an equally frustrating season and sit just two spots above Albion in the league table, having played one game more.

Following wins over Albion and Taunton in September, they didn’t win a game until the last week of November (beating Moseley 33-3) and only got their first win away from home in mid-December (23-19) at Chinnor.

Like Albion, they certainly like to give the ball some air and the match promises to be nothing if not entertaining.

On the back of the tough loss on the road, the Albion team will be looking to right the wrongs of a game that seemed all over on 40 minutes back in September.
