Preview: Caldy v Albion

This weekend sees Albion make the long journey up to The Wirral for their visit to Caldy RUFC.

Caldy are currently 2 places below Albion in the table and will be looking for a win that would take them away from the relegation zone.

Having had an impressive start to the season, Caldy have floundered in recent fixtures, losing all of their last 5 fixtures and against quite lowly opposition. In the meantime, Albion have chalked up 4 wins out of 5, again, facing lowly oppostion whilst losing only to table topping Ampthill. Furthermore, Albion are scoring just short of 4 tries a game in recent matches to Caldy's 2.  Curiously, Caldy's Nicholas Royle (one of the league's leading try scorers) hasn't scored since November. 

The weather forecast for the day suggests a chilly day with a fair bit of rain prior to the game which should diminish, accoumpanied by a moderate breeze. 

The reverse fixture back in October saw Albion running in four tries against Caldy's two winning 24-14.

Forecast - considering Albion's erratic away results, weather conditions and the exposed nature of the pitch - a narrow win for Caldy.
