Albion, fresh off some impressive wins, were hungry for revenge after an early-season loss to Dings Crusaders on the road. But with Dings always unpredictable, often fielding a mix of Bristol Bears Premiership players, this was never going to be an easy game. Nonetheless, the atmosphere felt electric from the moment the gates opened.
It was clear from the outset that Albion had something special in store. The home crowd of 1,115 fans made their way into the ground with festive cheer, filling the air with Christmas spirit.
Ryan Lamb’s pre-match message was clear: “Focus on us and us only, finish the play, and limit unforced errors.” New signing Paul BrownBampoe from Exeter Chiefs, already causing a stir, was also getting to know the fans, warmly meeting them as he entered the changing rooms. His presence had added an extra layer of excitement to an already charged atmosphere.
