Pre-season Friendly: Plymouth Albion v Cornish Pirates


By Dark Prophet
August 21 2026

This weekend we welcome the Pirates for our second pre-season friendly.  

This will be a tough challenge for Albion who have been steadily building a side capable of not only gaining promotion, but also taking the title. This will be a true test of this squad going into the new season and no doubt it will be a competitive encounter on the physical side.

Last season the Pirates finished 7th in the Champ, just missing out on the play-off places.

The sides last "friendly" encounter was in 2023 at the Mennaye where Albion were somewhat outplayed losing 45-5.
