Forget the tinsel and baubles, this member of the Supporters Association has definitely got the right idea!
Merry Christmas!
The u10s presented their panto “A tale from Twix & Ham” to an expectant and over-excited audience of minis players and parents!
Beyond words… really…
Frogs, fans and a lorra lippy, among some of the treats for the audience – sweets galore, water pistols and the conga finished everyone off – luckily no minis were crushed in the performing of the panto!
There was even a plot!! Fab 🎄

The Community Department, along with support from the 1871 Women’s team, players and parents from U13 and U14 Youth and girls from the Girls Youth Section recently braved the drizzle and cold conditions to promote all things Ealing Trailfinders at the Pitshanger ‘Light Up The Lane’.
In what was a very busy stand for the 4 or so hours of the community event, a large number of local residents were able to mingle with young and older Ealing Trailfinders players and staff, participate in a ‘Spot the Ball’ competition, buy Club raffle tickets and Ealing Trailfinders merchandise.
There were many locals keen to talk about Community Department Camps, Amatuer club membership and other sports played at Trailfinders Sports Club.
Head of Community, Pratesh Desai, noted “Light Up The Lane is an integral event for the residents and retailers of Pitshanger Lane – the closest High Street to Ealing Trailfinders. We are committed to engaging with all sections of the local community and to continue building the brand awareness of Ealing Trailfinders”.

The Youth Festive Raffle would not have been such a great success without volunteers across all Youth Age Groups who donated prizes, braved our great British weather to sell raffle tickets and all those who bought them.
There were 22 prizes with 22 happy winners 🙂 Amongst which was Levi, one of our U7s players who won (according to some of the younger participants) the top prize of the over-sized rugby ball, which was immediately put to use during their Minis training session – many happy faces.
Upcoming events:
Minis Panto and Christmas Party 17 Dec 2023
We then all take a well deserved break for Christmas and New Year. Back training on 8 Jan 2024
Kind regards,

Pro players Dan Hiscocks, Craig Hampson, Jordy Reid, Dan Lancaster & Douglas Bridge are among the visitors that have attended the minis training sessions over the last few weeks. The age groups have reported that it has been a fabulous experience for the kids and coaches alike. Having thoroughly enjoyed their visits, we look forward to seeing them again!!
The monthly second hand shop has again raised money for both youth and minis and more importantly gives players the opportunity to recycle and re-use rugby kit. We do a roaring trade in second hand boots! All donations are gratefully received. Donations can be left at the club shop.
Last weekend the U12’s hosted Middlesex league matches and had a great time having the opportunity of playing on the stadium pitch.
Thank you to everyone who made it to the pre-match meet up on Saturday. The raffle raised £155 which will contribute towards the running of the Supporters Association, website hosting fees and merchandise. We are really grateful for your support.
Thank you also to Jimmy and Jordy for being part of the fun.
