Preview: Bishop's Stortford v Albion
By Igwok
February 8 2019
This weekend sees Albion travel to Bishop's Stortford.
BS have turned their season around after having won 4 five-pointers on the trot, dragging themselves off the bottom of the league in the process. Admittedly this has mostly been against teams towards the bottom of the league but they did claim the scalps of Chinnor. No doubt they will confident and will be keen to extend their run.
Similarly Albion's streak have seen them progress up the table, and are now, thanks to the weather, within reach of Rotherham and Chinnor. Of the two Chinnor have a difficult away fixture against the leaders, so another step up the league is on the cards.
Albion have a tough task against Stortford with their opposition having accumulated more match points (56) whilst also conceding fewer. They also have a much better disciplinary record having collected 11 cards to Albion's 16.
The weather forecast predicts an overcast, but dry day however Erik won't quite have run out of breath - it will be windy, particularly in the first half.
Player to watch: Jack Scantlebury
Result forecast: Albion to edge it, but BS will give them a run for their money
