As Albion re group for their next fixture against Neath. They only lost two matches in the Welsh Premiership and were 15 points clear at the end of the season.

Spy in the Camp Neath.

Saturday 26th August @ 4pm

 

Another strong team to test the Albion squad on Saturday.

Last Friday Neath saw off Premiership side Bristol that included seven internationals. Neath are looking for improvements before they travel to Brickfields on Saturday.  During the match Alfie Tooala scored two tries in just two minutes! Match Report.

Whilst this was an improvement on the loss against London Welsh 29 to 24 it was obviously a tough match with five players in the sin bin at one time, must have been a true friendly! Match Report.

Last Season Neath ran away with the Welsh Premiership title, winning all but two matches and finishing 15 clear points of second place Bridgend. 

Topical with ring fencing the next league up is the Magners League which covers Scotland and Ireland as well as Wales but how do they raise to that level?? With 4 Welsh teams already in the league do they have to wait for one of them to go bankrupt? Are Neath the fifth best club in Wales or better who can tell!

One thing is for sure Neath are not going to be easy opponents but they have been beaten so why can't Albion do it?

Tickets are still available at just £8.00 - access to all areas (except Debenture area)    Free Ticket to all Debenture holders and VPs.

You will need to call the club  0870 350 0402 or go in, or just pay at the gate as the tickets are not available online at the moment..
