We enjoyed another fantastic week sponsoring the Rosslyn Park Schools 7s. The five day event is an important recruitment and awareness tool for our Trailfinders Rugby Academy and pathway programmes. Congratulatons to partner school Cardinal Newman who were crowned the U18 Girls Cup Champions.
Representing England
Henley College players Annabel Meta and Lauren Knowler were selected in the recent England U18 squad. The pair played an important role in England’s 48-5 victory over Wales.
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
Director of Women’s Rugby Giselle Mather and players from Brunel University and Henley College attended Metro Bank Ealing Broadway for an International Women’s Day event. Giselle spoke to the attendees and outlined an exciting year ahead for Ealing Trailfinders Women.
Making The Right Move
We welcomed club partner Windsor Hill Mortgages and other industry experts to Trailfinders Sports Club for our inaugural Property and Investment Seminar. More than 80 guests were in attendance, including club players, for an insightful schedule of presentations and panel discussions.
Lefty Makes Debut
Congratulations to senior Trailfinders Rugby Academy player Lefty Zigiriadis who became the latest player to make the transition to the Ealing Trailfinders first-team, earning his debut off the bench in the 50-12 victory over Cornish Pirates.
SUPPORTING TOM’S FIGHT
The Ealing Trailfinders community came together in March to support Under 15 player Tom who was recently diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. Tom’s Under 15s teammates played an exhibition fixture against Chess Valley RFC, a match dedicated to raising funds for Cancer Research UK. At the end of the game Tom’s Dad Chris was presented with a signed Ealing Trailfinders shirt.
Inspiring The Next Generation
The next generation of Ealing Trailfinders were invited to our recent girls rugby clinic. The rugby skills sessions were delivered by Henley College Head Coach Kim Oliver and Academy players from Brunel University.
Preparing For The Future
With an eye on life after rugby, a group of Ealing Trailfinders completed a coffee and barista workshop at Artisan Coffee in Ealing Broadway. The players learnt how to make a range of coffees and craft their own coffee art.
