First Team

After the bog that was Vallis Way last weekend and the close loss to Rosslyn Park, skipper Jay King takes his team back on the road, travelling to Oxfordshire to face Henley Hawks RFC at Dry Leas

Other games in N2S this weekend.

Top of the table clashes are often close games and Rosslyn Park’s visit to Vallis Way was not different. A  last minute missed conversion by Ealing Trailfinders fly half Ben Ward, brought joy to one set of players and despair to another.

Ealing Trailfinders 1st XV lose to Rosslyn Park at home despite a try with the last move of the game.

We welcome this weekend to Vallis Way, our close rivals Rosslyn Park from across the river, to this table topping clash as 2nd place plays 3rd. Games don’t come any bigger than this, but both sides will be aware that there will still be plenty of games to play, and other teams will have a say in what happens at the top of National 2 South.

Ealing Trailfinders’ trip to Somerset proved to be a fruitful one as they came away with a 15-54 victory, securing all five league points and with it keeping hold of second place in National 2 South

This weekend Ealing Trailfinders travel down to Somerset to visit Bath Road and Bridgwater & Albion RFC. A club dating back to the turn of the century.

Ill discipline cost Ealing Trailfinders this tricky away fixture at Shelford by 19 points to 15. A red and yellow card to prop Dinos Alexopoulos and lock James Winterbottom saw the Vallis Way side come away from Cambridgeshire with a losing bonus point. and with it they slipped to 2nd place in National 2 South behind Barking.

Again Ealing are on the road this week, this time up to Cambridgeshire to visit Shelford RFC. Shelford were promoted to the national leagues last season after an impressive season in London 1, and despite their league position (they currently sit in 8th position), they are a difficult team to beat at home.
