ALEX DAVIES will be a man on a mission at Meadow Lane on Sunday when Plymouth Albion take on Nottingham.

The 24-year-old fly-half is not only desperate to help Albion claim their first win of the 2010/11 season, but he also wants to right a wrong from last term.

Albion controversially lost 20-19 to Nottingham at Meadow Lane in January.

But Davies and the rest of his team-mates thought they should have won that game and secured a league double over the Green and Whites.

Albion were adamant that two Davies penalty kicks went through the uprights yet were not given by the officials.

The visitors were also upset that three of their players were sin-binned and a penalty try was awarded against them as they looked for their first-ever win at Meadow Lane.

Davies, who scored all Albion's 19 points against Worcester last Saturday, admits that narrow defeat eight months ago is still fresh in his memory.

"The last time we went to Nottingham we put in a really good performance and we were really unlucky not to come away with a win," said Davies.

"That defeat has been burning inside me from last year and I know it has been burning inside Graham Dawe.

"It was a game we should have won."

Albion have not won on their travels since they beat Doncaster on March 13 and they have not won at Nottingham since January 2005, when the Green and Whites were still playing at Ireland Avenue.

To put that record straight on Sunday, Davies says Albion are going to have to produce a performance like they did against Worcester Warriors at Brickfields last Saturday

After suffering a heavy defeat at Bedford in their opening game, Albion gave title favourites Worcester a major scare by leading for nearly two thirds of the match before narrowly losing 26-19.

"We have got to bring that same intensity, willpower and hunger to each game, whether home or away," said Davies.

"We will definitely need to show that same hunger on Sunday at Nottingham.

"We are going to have to really front up again if we want to get that win."
