Clifton   Vs	Old Albanians
Sponsored by	Netsafe UK

An improved Clifton display still saw them leave without any points against a good Old Albanians team. Their high scoring opponents were limited to 3 tries but Clifton will be left to ponder over missed opportunities again after handling errors let them down at key moments. However, they will be encouraged by the display, particularly of their forwards. They are competing well even against the top teams in the division and know that with a couple of areas tightened up that are causing the majority of mistakes they will soon turn in the results.

Clifton competed well throughout the game against opponents who are known to play attractive rugby and have a number of very good and experienced players in their team. Clifton scored two tries through Matt Britton and James Golledge together with 8 points from the boot of Gareth Knox. They will be disappointed not to turn huge pressre at the end of the game into another try that would have seen them pick up a deserved bonus point.

The Clifton Sausage man of the match was Elliot Booley for an impressive display at prop. For Ben Jordans match report click here.

Clifton look forward to another home game next week against Southend and with National 2 South really hotting up there is all to play for in the marathon season that is not half way done yet.
