Wellington Albert set to tackle

Vice-captain of the SP Hunters, Wellington Albert says he is fit and ready for this weekend’s trial match against Northern Pride.

Albert, who was one of five debutants named in the 20 man squad will also play alongside his brother Stanton for the first time as a Hunter.

“I’m really looking forward to this Saturday. I’ve had two shoulder surgeries over the last years, but I’ve fully recovered and I’m fit and ready to go,” said Albert.

Albert added that the team has been training hard for over two months and the match against Pride will be to cement a spot in the side.

 “This trial match is to secure spots in the team so we’re all going to be playing hard this weekend and give our best.

“The team just needs to listen to the coach, stick to the game plan and we’ll be alright,” said Albert.
