REPORT: Ealing Exiles 10 – 48 Old Isleworthonians IIs
Bad day at the office for the Exiles down in Isleworth. Skipper Stef McCabe reports on the proceedings.
Read More...The 2019-20 season brought some exciting changes for rugby in Ealing.
To ensure that we can continue to offer rugby in Ealing at an appropriate level for all players we decided to create a new club with RFU affiliation. The new Club, playing as Ealing Trailfinders 1871, is closely linked to the existing Ealing Trailfinders structure, shares the same facilities but operates independently within the RFU regulations and compete independently within the RFU league structure.
In the era of professional and amateur rugby it is important that clubs have the right structure to provide all rugby players with a pathway that suits their rugby ability and ambition. By having two clubs with strong links and co-operation this can be achieved and helps to develop rugby in Ealing and the surrounding area.
The new 1871 structure not only enables us to play RFU league rugby London and SE Division but also give players opportunities to play Middlesex Merit Table rugby as well as social and veterans’ rugby through the Exiles and Evergreens squads. This ensures we can offer rugby for players at all levels.
This also gives a strong development pathway for the very successful Ealing Trailfinders U18 Performance Programme.
The Ealing Trailfinders Professional structure is a separate entity but the strong links will enable players at the highest level to transition across either through the new Brunel University Scholarship Programme or through the Championship side’s own Academy structure.
The successful Minis and Youth sections will continue to be at the heart of Ealing Trailfinders with pathways in to Senior, and the Brunel University affiliated programme.

Read More...Exiles finally took the lead in the last 90 seconds of play v London Welsh, winning the nail biter 43-36. This league position defining match was refereed by the Wayne Barnes, and the result gave us a place in the MMT Div 5 Play offs!
Read More...Exiles first half glory in the backs brought about victory against a SODAM side with a very dominant scrum.
Read More...Exiles beat High Wycombe in an anxious very mixed match, full of drama, a few yellow cards, missed tries, and stolen tries.
Read More...Well, it was the proverbial game of two halves last Saturday down at Barn Elms. Getting changed in the ladies facilities probably explains why we played like a bunch of old women in the first half allowing Barnes to score some embarrassingly easy tries.
