Nigel Cane is is doubt and if not fit then Darren will start and Matt will be on the bench.

The smart money will probably be on Albion this weekend as they put in a better performance against Saints last weekend even if they didn't come away with the win.

As far as league performances are concerned neither team has been doing well with Tigers losing their last 5 trips away from home and Albion not picking up a single win this year.

Both teams will be looking for a win to maintain their positions in the table and with Tigers just 5 points head of Bees they will be looking at getting something from their trip.

Plymouth Albion 20

Attendance: = 516

On an over cast and drizzly day on the edges of Manchester Albion came with promise.

Unfortunately they were not able to deliver all they could. A number of kicks up field went straight into touch and the ball did not always go to hand.

With opportunities going begging Albion did step up the pace in the second half and gained a try early on when James Owen went over the line with Chris Lowrie and Steve Barrette on his shoulders.

Behind and going into time added on Albion again stepped up the pace and after the maul was dropped a number of times Rowan Kitt had no hesitation in awarding a penalty try.

Plymouth Albion 30
Sedgley Park 6

Attendance: = 2706

A fast game that saw Albion score two tries in the second half and claim a bonus point and all the replacements at least played a part in the game.

With overcast conditions and a light wind meant that kicking was an option but the position or touch was not always achieved.

Wihan Neethling went down early in the first half from a hard tackle and it seemed to have affected his place kicking missing both conversion attempts in the second half.

Ark played a fast game never giving up and turned down several opportunities for three points for the
