PLYMOUTH Albion will be looking for some valuable away points when they travel to Esher on Saturday in their second Pool C play-off match.

Graham Dawe's side opened their play-off campaign with a 37-17 home win over Moseley last week.

They will be hoping to build on that performance in Surrey against an Esher team who also got off to a winning start last week with a 30-22 victory at Birmingham & Solihull.

"We do want to try and pick up as many points as we can on the road," said chairman of rugby Dawe, who believes the pressure is on teams to win at home in the play-offs.

"But to do that we need to be exceptionally strong defensively and offensively we have to take our chances if we get in the opposition 22."

The last four meetings between Albion and Esher at Molesey Road have all been tight affairs.

The teams played out a 10-10 draw there in October, with Esher snatching two points in injury-time thanks to a penalty try after Albion had been reduced to 14 men.

In 2008-09, Esher won a thrilling and tense eight-try match 31-28, while Albion triumphed 25-16 in 2007-08 and 22-15 in 2001-02.

The last meeting between the clubs came in January when Albion scored the only try of the match to claim a 16-12 victory at Brickfields.

Albion, who have scored 12 tries in their last three matches, have named a squad of 23 for the trip to Surrey, with fit-again winger Fionn McLoughlin, who scored at Molesey Road in October, added to the party that was on duty last week against Moseley.

Fly-half/full-back Kieran Hallett and lock Dan Collier are still unavailable.
