Ealing Trailfinders lost for only the third time this season as Fylde produced an impressive performance to run out 22-15 winners at the Woodlands. ETRC’s supreme run of form came to an end as they suffered their first defeat in 12 games, the last loss dating back to when Blaydon, who make the journey to Vallis Way this weekend, came out on top last November.

Ealing Trailfinders had to come from behind to clinch a dramatic victory over Old Albanian RFC at Woollhams on Saturday. Ealing Trailfinders trailed 29-27 with 5 minutes remaining before Tom Parker’s unconverted try enabled the league leaders to continue their devastating form in 2013.

Ealing Trailfinders continued their superb run of form with a comprehensive bonus-point victory over Wharfedale at Vallis Way. The National 1 league leaders produced a ruthless second-half performance, making up for a sluggish first period as the hosts ultimately cruised to a 41-13 victory.

Ealing Trailfinders 1st XV fought back from 15-0 down to beat Tynedale 25-22 in an enthralling clash on Saturday. Ealing Trailfinders will be ecstatic with the bonus-point victory on their long journey to the furthest destination of the season but an inconsistent opening first quarter made their victory harder than it need have been. It was a case of déjà vu, as Tynedale lived up to their reputation as a side who start brightly, as Ealing Trailfinders know all too well, having had to claw their way back from a hefty deficit in the opening stages of last season’s victory at Tynedale Park.
