Newbury 27 (Tries: Bingham, Cracknell, Cooper. Cons: Feeney 3. Pens: Feeney 2.). 

Plymouth Albion 18 (Tries: Sestaret, Arscott. Con: Saumi. Pens: Saumi 2.). 

Excellent home win for out of form Newbury over Plymouth Albion.

It was the visitors who scored first when French wing Nicholas Sestaret went over for a 13^th minute try, his 9^th of the season, and a 5-0 lead. Nat Saumi made it 8-0 with a penalty on 20 minutes before the home side got off the mark with a Blair Feeney penalty goal on 24 minutes.

Newbury were ahead on 32 minutes after a try from winger Kenneth Bingham and Feeney converted for 10-8. Albion took the lead though on 37 minutes with Saumi kicking a second penalty goal.

They also got the opening score of the second half with full back Luke Arscott going in and Saumi concerting for an 18-10 lead.

Feeney pulled three points back for the home side on the hour but then the game turned with Albion losing two players to the sin bin and Newbury took advantage.

They score two tries as first flanker Chris Cracknell went over, for his 9^th try of the season, and then replacement hooker Glen Cooper, Feeney converted both and Newbury were 27-18 ahead and took the much needed win.
