This Weekend

v
Albion v Man
Saturday 13 September
K.O. 3 pm

Monday 15th Sept
Exeter United v Westcountry Warriors
KO 7:30

After last Sundays disappointing result Albion will be looking at putting the record straight and restarting their campaign with a solid win.

This Saturday marks the 5th anniversary of Albion at Brickfields. Then Albion lost to Otley but a few weeks later managed a win against Saturday's opposition. Manchester may well be bringing with them ex Albion hooker for two seasons, Richard Oxley or Oxo. With James Owen not declared fit utility forward Gareth Evens will be squaring up to him.

Manchester have similar scores for this season and in fact gained a bonus point last weekend for their four tries. Albion have just 3 tries so far with Ryan, Keni and Arran. and the kicking points are also very similar but the points against are a bit different. Albion have leaked less than half the points of Manchester.

Manchester had the worst possible start to the season going down to Bedford. Club Report and followed by a loss against Sedgley Park Tigers Club Report.

National League One Data

This table shows the for and against for each team. eg Tries 74/17 is 74 tries scored and 17 conceded. Con Rate is the percentage tries converted.

In the 23 named on the This is Plymouth site only Jamie Salter is yet to make his his first team competitive debut. But with James out of the mix Gareth Evans will start at 2, also Ryan moves to the bench to make way for James Tideswell. Earlier in the week Danny Thomas looked a mess after picking up an injury at Nottingham last Sunday and if declared unfit late in the day may give Trips the chance to start.
