First Girls Youth Festival of 2024/25 Season

,

On Sunday 22nd September 19 girls from Ealing Trailfinders made the rain-soaked journey to Cobham RFC for their annual Girls-only 10’s Festival. Ealing participated in an U10/U11 combo-side including a mix of girls who have come through Minis rugby and those new to the sport. Across the three games there were some very good individual and team tries and throughout the morning the girls ruck, support play, ball handling and confidence really improved.
The Ealing Trailfinders Under 12s played three games against Hove, Ironsides/Wasps and Cobham and in sometimes challenging conditions came away with two good wins and a close loss.

The Ealing Trailfinders Under 14s played three games against tough opposition from Sutton and Epsom, Reeds and Old Reigatians. The U14s started with a well deserved win and rounded out the enjoyable and very well organised Cobham festival with two very tough, but character and experience building defeats.
The Ealing Girls Youth section will now regroup for two weeks of aligned training before heading to our second Surrey Festival in Guilford on Sunday 6th October.

Girls Youth Section Update

,

Our Girls Youth Section encompasses the age groups of U12 to Under 18’s and is in an exciting stage of evolution. With the girls and women’s game nationwide growing at a rapid pace Ealing Trailfinders will field two full sides at Under 12 and Under 14 level this season. We are also helping to build the foundations for an Under 16 side with our Community Department colleagues.
Our Girls Youth Section trains twice a week – with the core session being 6.30 – 8pm on Wednesday’s and this is complemented by the Community Department’s ‘Get In The Game’ open girls session from 5 – 6.30pm on Friday Nights. A full calendar of Sunday fixtures, festivals and occasional trainings with our U12 and U14 cluster partners at Richmond RFC are well underway too.
We are very proud to be associated with a fantastic local sponsor in Apple Montessori Nursery who has been very supportive of the club over recent seasons. Sponsorship from Apple Montessori Nursery allows all Girls Youth and Ealing 1871 Women’s players to wear new bespoke shorts. The Girls Youth Section now has its own Ealing Trailfinders kit with eye catching purple striping. We are grateful for the help of Club Chairman Adrian Hobbs, Treasurer Kean Marden and Club Shop Manager Bernadette Weeks in facilitating the new kit which is modelled by long-serving Minis and now Girls U14s player Rose.
