with another impressive National 1 performance, beating London Scottish 50-14 in the capital to make it four bonus point victories from their opening four league matches.
Ryan Lamb’s side have collected the maximum 20 league points available after victories over Rosslyn Park, Camborne, Sheffield and now London Scottish, scoring 190 points in the process.
Albion have yet to trail at any stage of the league campaign, while no opposition has managed to secure a try scoring bonus point against them.
Saturday’s trip to London Scottish represented another significant test against a side relegated from the Championship last season, but Albion responded with eight tries from seven different scorers.
Fast start in the capital
It took just two minutes for Noah Fenton to open the scoring, with Frankie Dart adding the conversion.
Fenton was involved again shortly afterwards. Co captain Jack Oulton helped create the opportunity with a well timed dummy before Fenton crossed for his second. Dart converted again to give Albion a 14-0 advantage inside the opening quarter.
London Scottish responded through Connor Mounce, with the conversion reducing the deficit to seven points, but Albion quickly regained control.
Jarrard Hayler crossed for Albion’s third before Harry Wilkinson secured the bonus point with a try from a powerful maul.
It was Wilkinson’s sixth try of the National 1 campaign and sent Albion into half time with a 24-7 advantage.
London Scottish were reduced to 14 men shortly before the interval when Theo Vukasinovic was shown a yellow card.
Albion take control
Albion continued to dominate after the restart, with Sam Daly crossing early in the second half and Dart converting to extend the advantage to 31-7.
It was Daly’s sixth league try of the season.
Albion continued to enjoy the upper hand at the scrum and lineout, giving them the platform to keep the pressure on their hosts.
Replacement Rhys Williams was next across the line before Bobby Wigginton marked his return from injury with a try of his own.
London Scottish found their second converted try of the afternoon, but Albion had the final say.
Oulton crossed for Albion’s eighth try before Dart’s conversion brought up the half century and completed a 50-14 victory.
Perfect September
Albion finish September with maximum points, having scored 190 and conceded 57 across their opening four matches.
Elsewhere, Tonbridge Juddians maintained their own unbeaten start with a dramatic 52-49 victory away at Sale FC, leaving both sides on maximum points.
Head Coach Ryan Lamb was keen to keep the focus firmly on what comes next.
“I’m really proud of the group and the way we’ve started the season. To take maximum points from the first four games, especially with three of those away from home, is something the players deserve a lot of credit for.
“But we also know it’s only four games. There’s a long season ahead of us and plenty we can improve on. We’ll enjoy the result, recover properly and then our attention turns straight to Cambridge.
“The important thing for us is that we keep working hard, keep learning and don’t get too far ahead of ourselves. We’ve given ourselves a good start, but that’s all it is at this stage.”
