Albion made it five wins from five with a 3-0 win over in form Thornaby at Kingsley Park. Ryton edged the first half & deservedly took the lead on 41 minutes when Glenn Caygill headed home his third goal of the season. The second half saw the ball spend much of its time in the Albion half as the Teessiders piled on the pressure without really looking like restoring parity. Almost inevitably, Aaron Costello got on the scoresheet on 80 minutes to make it 2-0. As Thornaby pressed forward in numbers, RACA broke quickly and Fergus Lynch made absolutely certain of the points deep into stoppage time to make it 3-0. While a three goal win maybe flattered Albion a little, Michael Baxter and Costello both hit the post in the first & second halves respectively. As well as the 21 goals scored in this run, only one goal has been conceded in the same timespan, so a great thumbs up to the defence & keeper too.

RACA move up to ninth place in the table, leapfrogging Thornaby who drop to tenth.

Despite the fixture clashing with a Newcastle United home game, this was the biggest attendance in the second division today, though in part that was due to a good following of Thornaby fans who travelled up from Teesside.
