Brickfields sees the first home game of the season as Albion return home after a statement win over Leeds Tykes. Their opponents, Clifton, are another promotee, having risen from National 2 West. They had a difficult induction into NL1 losing to Blackheath.  

Albion, returning from a convincing win ill be looking to build momentum and prove they’re serious contenders this season.

Whilst Clifton will be looking to get up to the league's pace and prove their worthiness to compete at this level.

Harry Johnson and Dylan Power the two centre worked well together last week, bringing an attack minded approach to their games.

Key Battles in the game. Albion will be looking to secure good possession within the pack, taking any opportunities that penalties provide to gain territory. Meanwhile, Clifton will seek to penetrate Albion's defensive line, and be willing to attack from depth.

Weather: Should be bright with sunny spells, but with a low chance of rain. A moderate breeze will be blowing across the pitch with some very strong gusts to make the kicker's job more of a challenge.

Prediction: A comfortable win for Albion although Clifton may prove to be a stronger proposition than Leeds Tykes.

Round 2: Plymouth Albion v Clifton

Great win but what happened to the supply of pasties? Went for my usual just before half time and all gone! Missed the best try in the process!!

A good game - a still a couple of issues to iron out. A good sized crowd at 1490, Just above last season's average.

Two matches in, both against newly promoted sides, places us top of the league. Too early to form true trends but banana skins avoided.

Looking forward to the next challenge.
