Plymouth Albion surged to the top of National League 1 on Saturday after a commanding 39–17 bonus-point victory over Bishop’s Stortford at Brickfields, played out in front of the club’s largest home crowd of the season.
Roared on by a packed Brickfields, Plymouth Albion set the tone early, racing into a dominant first-half lead through a blend of forward power and sharp attacking play. Jenson Boughton and Bobby Wigginton were among the standout performers as the hosts asserted control of a fixture billed as a key moment in the title race.
Although Bishop’s Stortford showed resistance after the break, Albion’s composure never wavered. A long-range interception try from Wigginton and late penalties from Iwan Jenkins ensured the home side maintained control and closed out the contest with authority.
The result lifts Plymouth Albion to the summit of the league, rewarding a run of consistent performances and reinforcing momentum as the season enters a decisive phase. Delivering such a performance in front of a record seasonal crowd only added to the sense of occasion.
Head coach Ryan Lamb praised his side’s professionalism, particularly in the opening half, while stressing the importance of staying focused with plenty of rugby still to play.
