Friday night delight
Ealing Trailfinders 1871 first XV kicked off the weekend in style, dominating Beaconsfield at home to win 34-7 in front of a raucous crowd at Trailfinders Sports Club.
Richard Roberts, Josh Steadman, Nyall Wake, Carlos Duarte, and Geraint Price scored tries in front of a bumper crowd, while flyhalf Harry Vidler added 14 points from the tee in the Regional 2 Thames clash.
A strong performance from the forward pack laid the platform, and the backline responded with slick hands that opened up the Beaconsfield defence, while strong support lines maintained the team’s momentum.
Rock-solid defence underpinned the attacking efforts, with wing Duarte named player of the match for his work denying chances out wide.
