Plymouth Albion return to Brickfields under the floodlights this weekend for their only evening home game of the season, as they take on Birmingham Moseley in a match that could have a big impact on the league table.
Saturday 25 October – Brickfields
Kick-off: 19:45 (Gates open 17:00)
Form Guide
Albion started the season strongly but have hit a bump, losing two of their last three games. They’ll be looking to bounce back at home, where they remain unbeaten this season.
Birmingham Moseley arrive after a confidence-boosting upset win against high-flying Blackheath. Despite that, they’re still searching for their first away victory of the season, having lost all four matches on the road.
By the Numbers
- Albion points scored: 286
- Moseley points scored: 181
- Albion unbeaten at Brickfields: Yes
- Moseley away wins: 0
On paper, Albion hold the advantage – but momentum can shift quickly. Expect intensity from both sides.
Squad News
Head Coach Ryan Lamb opts for stability, with just a handful of changes:
- Rhys Williams returns to the starting lineup
- Nick Lilley, on loan from Exeter Chiefs and their youngest ever try-scorer, starts at inside centre
- Harry Wilkinson moves to the bench after last week’s MOTM performance
- Jake Bond returns to the squad from loan
What They’re Saying
Nick Lilley:
“I love being at Brickfields and I’ve really enjoyed the last few weeks. There are some great boys here and everyone has been very welcoming.
I can’t wait to get stuck in this week. Last week was a tough physical challenge, but this week it’ll be good to right some wrongs.”
Assistant Coach Jamie Salter:
“Last week was a tough one to take. Going away from home, scoring five tries but still losing is not what we wanted.
We went off script too many times, and this week we’ll be looking to do things the right way and improve.”
