Albion Blind Kick Off the 2025-26 Season in The National Blind Football League

Albion Blind experienced a mixed start to their 2025/26 Blind Football League campaign at the Royal National College for the Blind, with both the Premiership and Championship teams in action.

The Baggies began with an emphatic 4-1 win over Merseyside in the first Premiership fixture, where Eesa Amjid opened his account with four brilliant goals. They were made to work hard for their win as their Northwest opponents battled well until the end.

Their first Championship fixture however, would leave them on the wrong end of the same scoreline, as they fell to a 4-1 defeat to RNC Men despite Albion grabbing a late consolation through a strong strike from far outside the box. They would later follow this with a spirited goalless draw with RNC Women in a tight encounter that saw several opportunities from both sides to break the deadlock.

Albion’s Premiership team concluded their afternoon with a narrow 1-0 defeat to RNC but defended brilliantly and were close to equalising through Amjid’s chances. They unfortunately couldn’t break down a resilient RNC side, whose solidarity goal proved enough to secure their victory.

Albion: Locke, Draper, Huraira, Briant, Turnham, Clarke, Amjid
