Credit to the visitors, who never gave in an made it a much closer contest in the second half, but tries from captain Danny Brown, as well as Walker registering his second try of the afternoon, both converted by Rudd, saw the season come to a positive end following Albions first season in the NWML Premier Division.

Coach Martyn Ellis added “ The first half, and result, we’re just reward for the effort and commitment the lads have put in throughout the season.
We have been competitive in most games, and looking back there was at least three of four games which we just didn’t get the result we hoped for which could have seen us featuring in the play offs, but we are young side who will learn from this and hopefully come back stronger.
One of the most pleasing aspects of the season has been the amount of former juniors returning to the club, having had time away from the game, it has really helped strengthen our squad and with a full pre season we genuinely feel we can be even more competitive next year.”
