However, two tries in injury-time by Aaron Carpenter and Rhodri McAtee gave the score-line a much better look for Nat Saumi's side.

Third-placed Nottingham scored two tries in the first 15 minutes with wingers Ryan Hough and Alex Lewington crossing.

Fortunately for Albion James Alridge was having an off-day with the boot and he missed both conversions and a fourth-minute penalty.

Nottingham did go 17-0 up when Hough scored a second try on 30 minutes.

But Albion went in at the break just seven points behind after a 39th minute penalty from Paul Roberts and an injury-time length-of-the-field breakaway try by Tom Bowen that Roberts converted.

Alridge kicked a penalty after the interval before Hough claimed Nottingham's fourth try and his hat-trick.

An Alridge penalty on 53 minutes made it 30-10 to Nottingham.

Despite the home side having Alex Shaw sin-binned on 61 minutes, it looked like the game would finish 30-10 but Carpenter scored a second  Albion try in the sixth minute of injury-time before McAtee crossed with the last move of the match.
