Moseley have not had a good starting third to the season and sitting just one place above the drop zone. With only two wins to their name they have achieved 6 bonus points, the same number as Albion.
Moseley's season started well beating Bedford Blues by 44 points to 37 on the second weekend of the season. Their only other win was against Sedgley Park last month when they won 32 - 25.

Moseley have got a very extensive preview on their website that tells you more about Albion than you can find on the official website, and the unofficial. PREVIEW
Last three matches
This time last season
We were about to entertain third place and un beaten Bedford Blues and beat them 28 points to 23 with tries by Keni Fisilau, Nic Sestaret and Tom Hayes. With only the three tries we won but did not get a bonus point. The result put Albion into forth place whilst the blues remained in third place.

Food etc
Catering
arrangements
Our catering arrangements on Saturdays.
How many other clubs serve such a
variety of food such as “panini”,
Chilli, jacket potatoes, succulent pork
baps, healthy sandwiches as well as the
usual “chips with everything"
from three different serving locations
for better service?
Smoke Free Clubhouse
The total ban on smoking passed by
Parliament recently will bring England
into line with the rest of the UK and
other countries from the summer of 2007.
Moseley anticipated this and has
provided a pleasant, healthy and smoke
free environment in the Clubhouse, from
the start at Billesley, which has been
extremely well received.
Entry is £12 for
adults, Senior Citizens £8; Youth
(Under 21) £4; Under 16 £2
Coaches corner about last weeks match
Will
the real Moseley please stand up!
It
was another "Jekyll and Hyde"
performance last Saturday in the match
against
In
my view, however, they raised their game
after the half-time break, and we were
never really able to strike a blow. We
could not get the momentum which a few
consecutive phases of possession provide
and so we were “nilled” for the
first time I can remember. Despite
the loss though, there was much to
commend about the first half
performance, and if we can keep our
heads up we will get our rewards.
Last
week saw three new players make their
Billesley debuts. Nick Buckley joins us
from Manawatu in
