Playing with a substantial breeze to their tail, Albion took an early lead from a Tom Putt penalty. This was soon canceled out by Monty Bradbury as the tone was set for a wet and windy day at the Brickfields.
With such inclement weather, points were always going to be a ata premium and Putt narrowly missed soon after with a 60-metre effort that had the legs but drifted wide.
Into the wind, Rosslyn Park tried to execute a cute kicking strategy but two terrific charge downs by the perennially hard-working Jamie Salter put paid to that and hard carries became the order of the day.
With a real hunger for proceedings, Albion took the game by the scruff as they edged the close quarter battle. Torin Clarke burst through the centre of a maul and carried into the Rosslyn Park five-metre area to light up the crowd. With no option but to interfere illegally, the visitors’ openside, Arthur Ellis, was sent to the bin.
A fair few efforts from resultant scrum penalties came to nothing, and so did Dan Collier’s sublime effort after a bullocking carry, as the hosts continued to terrorise at the resolute Park defence.
