Ealing Trailfinders beat Caldy in a decisive 38-0 victory at Trailfinders Sports Club, extending their winning streak to nine games this season as they remain top of the Champ Rugby table.

Tries from Geordie Gwynn, Bobby De Wee, Matt Cornish, Tobi Wilson, Michael Dykes and Scott Buckley helped Ealing to secure a ninth consecutive bonus point win of the season.

Early Ealing pressure earned the home side strong field position, with a scrum in the Caldy 22. After some reset scrums, a swift set piece move allowed Dan Jones to put Geordie Gwynn through a gap to open the scoring. Fresh from his assist Dan Jones added the extras to make the score 7-0 in the opening minutes.

An explosive line break from Matas Jurevicius looked threatening, but Caldy captain Matt Gallagher infringed at the breakdown 10 metres out from his own posts, and was swiftly yellow carded by the referee for his efforts. Trailfinders began to turn the screw, calling a scrum off the ensuing penalty to make the most of their one man advantage. A few phrases after this scrum Bobby De Wee crashed over the line, and Dan Jones knocked over the conversion, extending Ealing’s lead to 14 points.

Caldy began to fight back, with some brutal defensive interventions and some dangerous looking possession, but it was the home side who would score next. Despite the wet ball Ealing were stringing together multiple phases, and following some slick interplay by his teammates, Matt Cornish scored near the right touchline. Dan Jones was unable to convert with a tough angle.

As the clock ticked over for half-time Ealing Trailfinders headed back to the changing rooms 19 unanswered points ahead at Trailfinders Sports Club.

Half-time: Ealing Trailfinders 19-0 Caldy

Ealing began the second half the way they finished the first, as replacement Tobi Wilson scythed through for his side’s bonus point try, with only two minutes of the second half on the clock. Dan Jones slotted the kick with the score now reading 26-0. Caldy’s Monty Weatherby was given a yellow card just minutes later, handing Ealing another man advantage following a ruck infringement.

By now Ealing had significant momentum and some slick hands put Michael Dykes into space, before he cantered over the line for Ealing’s fifth try of the day. From the left touchline Dan Jones was unable to add the extras, but by this point the scoreline was reading 31-0 in favour of the hosts.

Ealing refused to let off, and continued hammering away at the Caldy 22. Caldy replacement Lewis Barker was given a yellow card for taking out Ealing’s scrum-half, and Rory Scannell kicked the ensuing penalty to touch. Scott Buckley touched down from the lineout maul drive and Scannell kicked over the conversion, extending Ealing’s lead to 38-0.

The match had a frantic end following relentless pressure from the Ealing pack, but Caldy were able to clear their lines and bring the match to a close. Ealing Trailfinders blindside flanker Kyle Hatherell was named man of the match after an all action display, showcasing his brutality on both sides of the ball in an impressive win for the home side.

Ealing Trailfinders remain undefeated following a 14-38 win over London Scottish at Richmond Athletic Ground.

Braces from Matt Cornish and Jordy Reid, and tries from Francis Moore and Patrick Campbell, secured Trailfinders the bonus point in the London derby.

The results leaves Ealing Trailfinders seven points clear at the top of the Champ Rugby Table.

An early scrum for Trailfinders saw Craig Hampson release Tobi Wilson down the wing, making strong ground. Wilson then kicked into the 22, where the home side collected and cleared into touch. From the resulting line-out, just short of the whitewash, a powerful driving maul carried Trailfinders over the line, with Cornish grounding the ball to open the scoring inside seven minutes. The conversion drifted wide.

The home side attempted to respond with several attacking phases close to the Trailfinders’ line, but a composed clearance returned play to a line-out, this time stolen and cleared by the visitors.

Trailfinders soon found themselves with another line-out inside Scottish’s 22. In a near carbon copy of their earlier score, the maul powered over the try line and Cornish touched down for his second of the afternoon. Dan Jones added the extras.

Sustained pressure from Trailfinders after another line-out opened space for Reid, who cut through the Scottish defence to score between the posts, giving Jones a simple conversion which he successfully slotted.

With the home side reduced to 14 men following repeated infringements, Trailfinders looked to capitalise inside the attacking quarter. For the third time, a line-out driven maul proved unstoppable, securing the bonus-point try before the break. Reid touched down for the second time, and Jones converted.

London Scottish pushed hard to get on the scoreboard before half-time, but a held-up ball from Trailfinders defence denied them, and the visitors cleared to end the half in control.

Half-time: London Scottish 0-28 Ealing Trailfinders

Trailfinders made a strong start to the second half, extending their lead when Rory Scannell paced through the middle, the ball was then moved wide to Moore, who finished in the corner. Jones added the extras once more.

London Scottish responded soon after, with a wide ball to Hayden Hyde, who had space on the wing to get Scottish onto the scoreboard. Josh Bellamy successfully converted the try.

Scottish looked to narrow the gap further, taking advantage of a yellow card shown to Lefty Zigiriadis. Sustained pressure within Trailfinders 22 eventually created space for Solodrau Radianirova on the wing, who touched down out wide. Bellamy successfully converted again.

What initially looked like another rolling maul try for Trailfinders instead shifted wide, with Wilson receiving the ball before passing to an unmarked Campbell, who crossed for the try. The conversion went wide.
