Williams delighted as Albion collect first win

Albion bounced back to winning ways after a disappointing defeat to Dings Crusaders last week, with a close-fought 27-22 victory at home to Leicester Lions in National League One.

The result lifts Ryan Lamb’s side to eighth in the table, which man-of the-match Rhys Williams felt was just reward for some targeted work on the training pitch.

He said: “We’ve focused a lot on set-pieces, our scrums have been good, our line outs have been good, and that’s helped us get into good positions today.

“It was a very important game today, we said all week really that we really needed to get a win. It doesn’t matter how pretty it was, we’ve got the win and I’m very chuffed.

“We’ll come in on Tuesday, have a look at where we went wrong in the second half and improve on that for next time.”
