“Our collisions in the tackle are unbelievable, As a group it is where we have focused our attention and we are reaping the rewards.
“There are still a few players who haven’t been fully available for various reasons but all together this is the most talented squad of players I’ve been involved with. which points to a sustained period of success.”
Albion’s next game is at home to Golborne Parkside on Saturday May 7at 2.30pm at the Victoria park arena.
