This Saturday Albion entertain Rams for the penultimate home game of the season.

The Reading side sit in a comfortable 2nd place behind Chinnor but will likely not pip them to the top spot (Chinner are 5 points ahead and have a massive points difference to their advantage). Some say that they would prefer to stay at Nat 1 level, and their last game seemed to support this view where they experimented a little with their starting line up, although halftime saw changes that allowed them to secure the win.

It will be a difficult game for Albion who will have a boost to their usual home support as the Men's Day Out event is being hosted by the club. They are also experiencing an uplift in form and will be looking to climb back up the table. Meanwhile, Rams will be putting out a very experienced side with a clear intent to break the Brickfields Fortress.

Players to look out for - The scrum half Ollie Monye, a very quick thinking and 'slippery' fellow. Also, Charlie Robson on the wing, very fast and elusive.

Weather - dry with a some occasional sunshine. A fresh breeze with gale force gusts should make the kicking game interesting

Referee for the day will be Iain Kiy - whilst averaging quite a high number of cards per game (1.7), both Albion and Rams have relatively low card counts this season (12 & 14 respectively).

Forecast - A win for Rams and a losing point for Albion.

Other games of interest:-
Richmond vs Birmingham Moseley - A win for Richmond could pull them within 1 point of Albion, whilst giving Albion an outside chance to move up to 4th.

Darlington Mowden Park v Bishop's Stortford - A likely win for 6th placed DMP which will almost certainly close the gap with Albion.

Round 23: Albion v Rams
