There was hardly anything between the top two teams in the league, but Ealing Trailfinders ultimately fell to Jersey Reds 19-13.
It was a result that could have gone either way, but it now puts the islanders in pole position to lift the trophy with just one round left in the Championship season.
Pregame the atmosphere was palpable, as just over 3,000 supporters squeezed into the Stade Santander International with there being great representation for both sides.
When the game did get underway, both sides started slowly, with everyone knowing the magnitude of the game.
On the ten minute mark, the deadlock was broken, as Steven Shingler slotted a penalty from straight in front of the posts after Jersey Reds strayed offside.
However, it didn’t take long for Jersey to respond. On the fifteen minute mark, Alex McHenry went over for the hosts in the corner while the Reds had penalty advantage.
Despite conceding the first try, Trailfinders built back into the game well. Repeated penalties from the scrum and from the line-out saw the visitors pile on the pressure, and after several pick-and-goes, Rob Farrar was able to muscle over from close range. Shingler added the extras.
It didn’t take long for the hosts to retake the lead however, as on the half hour mark a powerful rolling maul crashed over with Sam Grahamslaw dotting down.
As the half-time whistle beckoned, a breath-taking passage of play saw both Trailfinders and Jersey almost add to their tally, but neither were able to secure the crucial pass and it meant the half-time score was Jersey Reds 12-10 Ealing Trailfinders.
The second half, saw the hosts come out of the blocks fast, knocking on the door of the Trailfinders’ try line for most of the opening fifteen minutes. Despite constant pressure, the Londoners were able to hold firm and escape without conceding.
Then, with what was their first meaningful attack of the half, a huge scrum penalty allowed Shingler to go to the posts again as Trailfinders retook the lead.
This didn’t last for long however, as Will Brown was able to get over in the corner for the hosts and Russell Bennett impressively converted from the touchline.
Despite there being around 15 minutes left on the clock, the tricky conditions meant that it was hard for either side to get continuity in the game.
Then, with the clock in the red, Trailfinders went in search of the score that would see them snatch the game. After starting inside their own half, they were able to work their way into the Reds’ 22, but a knock-on saw those hopes dashed as the full-time whistle went with the scores at Jersey Reds 19-13 Ealing Trailfinders.
This result now sees Jersey Reds two points clear of the Trailfinders as they welcome Ampthill to the Stade next weekend, while the West-Londoners travel to Doncaster.
After the game Ealing Trailfinders Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “It’s a really tough result to take but I really think we have to congratulate Jersey for today and their performance all season.
“I can’t fault the effort of our boys, but crucially Jersey won some of those key moments and when you have two teams who are so close to each other, these moments are the difference.”

Ealing Trailfinders came agonisingly close to achieving the ultimate comeback in Jersey, but ultimately fell 28-27 to the Reds.
From being 21-0 down just before the break, tries from Alun Walker and Craig Hampson got them back in the game, before Nathan Earle edged the visitors in front.
Jersey then answered back, but Jordan Burns’ late try gave Trailfinders the chance to win it, but the conversion from out wide went just wide.
Despite this, Ealing Trailfinders Director of Rugby said: “I can’t fault the effort in that second-half and I’m really proud of how we responded.”
In this huge clash at the top of Pool 1, it was Trailfinders who started the faster of the two sides, with some early dominance at the scrum and a very impressive rolling maul which marched them 20m up the pitch before winning a penalty.
Sadly, this early pressure couldn’t be converted into points, as slowly Jersey found a foothold in the encounter.
With it still scoreless after 20 minutes, it was anyone’s guess as to who would cross first with both sides making as many errors as they did breaks.
This didn’t last long however, as on the 22nd minute Jersey’s James Hadfield was able to get over for the hosts from close range. Then just five minutes later, James Dun dotted down before Ben Woollett was on the end of a nice free flowing move to grab Jersey’s third, five minutes from half-time.
With the clock in the red, Jersey’s Sean O’Connor was sent to sin-bin for a shoulder off the ball. This allowed Craig Willis to put the ball 15 metres out and for Trailfinders to set up their rolling maul. With some real steam behind it, Walker was able to get over and Willis converted from the touchline to make it 21-7 at half-time.
The second 40 saw a real change in attitude, as to a man Trailfinders fought to get back into the contest. Strong carries and quick ball eventually allowed Hampson to snipe around the fringes of a ruck and despite an attempted tap-tackle, he dotted down under the sticks. Willis converted and it was 21-14.
After this fast start, Jersey were always going to come back. Repeated team maul infringements saw James Gibbons go to the sin bin, but crucially Trailfinders refused to allow Jersey the score, as they managed to hold the hosts up over the line.
From this the green and whites regathered their composure, and went on to win a scrum against the head with only seven forwards on the pitch.
With an hour on the clock, Trailfinders threw the ball around and managed to win a penalty 40 metres out and Willis made no mistake in converting.
With one passage of play left until Gibbons returned, Jersey went on the attack in an attempt to make their extra man pay. But after turning the ball over inside their own half, Trailfinders launched a superb free flowing passage of play. Will Davis was released down the blindside and he passed to his front-row counterpart Kevin O’Byrne. The hooker then played an outrageous no-look, switch pass to James Cordy-Redden who in turn found Nathan Earle, who rounded the final defender to score his first Trailfinders try. The conversion just sailed wide but the score put the visitors 21-22 in front, just as they returned to 15 men.
The next 15 minutes saw the game tighten up somewhat as the clock ticked closer and closer to the end of the game. Then with five minutes to go, Dan Barnes was put through a hole to score under the posts and leave the hosts six points in front.
Despite this setback, Trailfinders remained composed, slowly working their way up the pitch. After a breathtaking passage of play, the ball found its way to Jordan Burns who was playing out of position on the wing. With just a half-yard of space, he put on the afterburners and managed to scorch in and score in the corner with the clock in the red. Willis then stepped up to snatch the win, but agonisingly it sailed just wide.

Ealing Trailfinders headed over to the Channel Islands on Saturday afternoon, fighting through Storm Eunice to pick up a vital win on the road in their quest to lift the Championship trophy at the end of the season.
In a whirlwind opening to the game, Jersey’s kick-off hit into the wind found touch, a Trailfinders scrum would follow, and a huge first set-piece saw the men in black and orange win the penalty. Craig Willis stepped up with his first kick of the game to put the away side 3 points up with less than 2 minutes on the clock.
Ten minutes later, the lead was doubled, once again points added through the boot of Willis, Jersey this time penalised for not rolling away at the halfway line.
With Trailfinders looking to use the first half advantage of the strong wind behind their back, chances came and went, but the momentum was growing.
That was until Jersey managed to work their way upfield and into a position to go for the corner for the first time of the game. After two attempts, Reds Prop Roy Godfrey finally dotted down within the rolling maul from the lineout.
The travelling side were soon piling the pressure back on, though, when from the restart, Jersey fumbled the ball into touch, allowing Trailfinders a free shot at a line out at their 22 metre. Jersey would subsequently concede a penalty at the breakdown allowing Willis to make it three from three and extend the visitors lead.
The islanders would have the final say of the first half, though, when whilst trying to exit the backfield, Craig Hampson’s pass to David Johnston was intercepted by Jordon Holgate, who raced away to score his sides second try and gain a narrow lead going into the break.
Half-Time Jersey Red 10 – Ealing Trailfinders 9
The start of the second half saw Trailfinders rejuvenate their dominance. Making the most of an overshot box kick, the visitors would go onto win a penalty at the scrum, allowing Willis to kick for the posts once again, getting his side back in the lead just minutes in.
Trailfinders dominance was clear to be seen, and it was rewarded once again when another penalty was won at the scrum; Willis would kick to the corner again this time with the forwards followed by the backs getting the ball over the whitewash for Jan-Henning Campher to dot down for the men in black and orange’s first try of the afternoon. Willis once more good with the boot to add the extras.
In what was a nervy next twenty minutes, both sides makde big tackles to push each other back, but with no points to show for their efforts.
That was until the 76th minute when another forced error by the Trailfinders attack left Willis to knock another 3 points on the board and all but seal the game.

Ealing Trailfinders continued their fantastic start to 2020 with a dramatic 28-24 victory over Jersey Reds at Stade Santander International.
Ben Ward’s side had to rely on a try from Elliot Millar Mills with just seven minutes remaining and then some incredible defence to secure their fifth consecutive victory.
The West Londoners played with intent from the off and set the tempo with a break in the opening minute from Jack Tovey, but after being penalised for holding on Brendan Cope kicked the hosts in to a 3-0 lead.
The response was immediate as Steven Shingler dissected the posts to level the score, and the Trailfinders then took a deserved lead with 15 minutes on the clock.
A penalty was kicked to the corner and then they went through the phases patiently until some space opened up for Rayn Smid who powered over from close range. The conversion went wide, but the visitors now had an 8-3 lead.
However just as the Trailfinders seemed to be in the ascendancy, Jersey pounced on an opportunity and wrestled themselves in front. A lineout just five metres out gave them the chance, and TJ Harris took advantage of the rolling maul to score under the posts. Cope added the extras, putting them two points ahead.
The Green and Whites were looking for another quick response but struggled to break down a resolute defence in the lead up to the break. A number of phases in the 22 looked to have brought them to within touching distance as Jordan Els carried up to the line, but then in frustrating fashion a knock on meant that the hosts survived.
Eventually Ward’s side were rewarded for their possession, as a penalty allowed Shingler to kick them 11-10 in front just before half time as they headed down the tunnel with a narrow lead.
The Trailfinders increased the intensity at the start of the second half and extended the lead straight away. Reon Joseph gathered Shingler’s kick and had Peter Lydon on the inside but we came back for an earlier infringement, allowing the Welshan to kick his third penalty of the afternoon.
Jersey then went back ahead on the 50 minute mark to the delight of the home crowd. A penalty was kicked in to the 22, and then at the breakdown Will Homer spotted a gap and strolled through under the posts. Cope’s conversion gave them a 17-14 advantage with half an hour left.
That sparked the West Londoners in to life and they started to get the upper hand through their physicality. A rip in defence from Elliot Millar Mills created space for Jack Tovey outside, but his kick through was gathered by the hosts.
A five metre lineout was then held up over the line and the visiting fans began to think it might not be their day, but the persistence paid off as Pat Howard scored on the hour. A number of carries took them up towards scoring range, and the South African picked a great line to crash over. Willis’ conversion put them four ahead, but the lead didn’t last long.
Straight from kick off the Reds gathered the ball and spun it wide, which then allowed Homer to use his searing pace and dive over the line. Cope’s conversion re-instated their three point lead.
The Trailfinders needed a moment of magic to edge back in front, and it came courtesy of Elliot Millar Mills to send the travelling fans in to raptures. Harry Sloan broke through the defence and was dragged down just short, but from the following phase an inside pass to the prop who was outstanding all afternoon meant that he could dot the ball down. Craig Willis’ crucial conversion meant that the lead was four points with five minutes remaining.
Jersey then hammered away as they looked for a winner, but the defence stayed impeccable under serious pressure. Jack Tovey’s last ditch tackle stopped a certain try, and then the forwards managed to hold up a rolling maul over the line to frustrate the hosts.
A scrum then needed a huge effort with the final play of the game, and that is exactly what the front-row delivered, allowing them to smash the ball in to the stands and confirm a memorable win on the Channel Island.

Half Time Score: Jersey Reds 10-11 Ealing Trailfinders
Ealing Trailfinders produced a stunning performance to keep themselves firmly in the hunt at the top of the Greene King IPA Championship after a comprehensive 45-14 victory over Jersey Reds at Stade Santander International.
Ben Ward’s side scored seven tries in their best all-round display of the season as they stunned the Channel Islanders with a dominant showing from minute one to 80.
The Trailfinders made the perfect start in the Jersey sunshine and opened the scoring after just three minutes. Kieran Murphy made a storming break as he battered through three defenders and passed outside to Andrew Durutalo, who drew in the final man before passing back to Murphy who was able to run straight under the posts. Craig Willis added the conversion to give his side a 7-0 lead.
The start got even better for the visitors just four minutes later as they scored their second try after seven minutes. Reon Joseph and James Cordy Redden combined well down the left wing and used their pace to work a way around the outside of the defence, and had David Johnston alongside who had a clear run to the line. Willis was again on target to extend the advantage to 14 points.
Jersey however responded immediately after a frantic opening to the match. After a penalty was kicked to the corner they went through the phases in our 22, and a half break saw Liam Howley snipe his way to the line from 10 metres out. Former Trailfinders Aaron Penberthy cut the lead to seven points with his successful conversion.
The Green and Whites were in rampant mood and restored their 14 point lead straight from the re-start. A penalty was awarded, and from the five metre lineout the maul powered over the line to allow Alun Walker to stretch over from close range. Willis was on form with the boot and his third conversion extended the lead.
The bonus point was then secured before the half hour mark as Kieran Murphy went over for his second try of the afternoon. A series of penalties saw the Trailfinders get up to the five metre line, and once again the ever-reliable rolling maul was unstoppable as it allowed Murphy to break away to score. The conversion was just wide, but the lead was now up to 19 points after a sensational first 30 minutes.
Craig Willis scored try number five just before the break as the Trailfinders continued their momentum in to half time. A five metre scrum saw the ball zipped straight to the fly-half, and he stepped back inside to score under the posts. He converted his own try to send his team down the tunnel with a sensational 33-7 lead at the break.
The second half started in the same way as the first as the West Londoners continued to dominate on the Channel Island. Jordan Burns and James Cordy Redden made a break from a scrum and after being brought down short the visitors went through the phases which allowed Andrew Durutalo to bundle over for try number six. The conversion came back off the post but the Trailfinders were flying with some of their best rugby of the season.
It continued to get better for Ward’s side, who got try number seven on the hour mark to bring up 40 points. Lewis Jones intercepted and offloaded to Burns but he was brought down, however a smart pop up to Murphy saw the move progress. The flanker was tackled but his offload to Pat Howard meant that the centre marked his return to the match day squad with a deserved try. Willis converted as the lead kept growing.
Jersey got a consolation try with 10 minutes remaining as Jake Upfield crossed from close range. They had the ball deep in the 22 and went through the phases before the substitute managed to navigate his way to the line. Penberthy converted to cut the deficit to 14-45.
The Trailfinders closed out the remaining minutes and smashed the ball in to the stands to confirm a stunning win in hugely impressive fashion.

Ealing Trailfinders secured a famous victory in atrocious conditions to leave Jersey with a hard-fought 20-16 win at Stade Santander International.
It was an afternoon for defence in scarcely believable rain, and the Trailfinders put in incredible commitment to make it four wins in a row in mightily impressive fashion to halt Jersey’s 10 match winning run.
The Trailfinders were playing with the wind behind them in the first half and they got off to the best possible start with a try after just five minutes.
A scrum deep in the Jersey 22 gave the visitors the perfect platform, and after going through the phases they spun the ball wide to Seb Stegmann who was in acres of space to score in the corner. Craig Willis converted from the touchline to give his side an early 7-0 lead.
The West Londoners were using the conditions to their advantage with a series of box kicks which were causing havoc for the Jersey backs, and after being caught offside a penalty was kicked between the posts by Willis to extend the advantage to 10 points.
Jersey then began to come back in to the match after a spell of pressure and crossed for their first try on the 20 minute mark. A break in the midfield took them up to the line, and they relied on the forwards to finish off the chance with second-rower Dave McKern driving over from close range. Aaron Penberthy added the extras to cut the deficit to just three points.
James Cordy Redden had a chance with 10 minutes remaining in the first half as he intercepted a loose pass and looked to race clear but the Jersey defence scrambled back to deny him a try on his return to the side.
Penberthy then levelled the score with a penalty from in front of the posts but the Trailfinders responded with a late try to take the lead before the break.
A penalty was kicked to the corner and from the lineout Alun Walker completed a one-two with Ben West to scramble over from five metres out. Willis’ impressive touchline conversion ensured that his side went down the tunnel with a seven point advantage at the break after a badly tempered opening 40 minutes.
The Trailfinders were playing against the wind in the second half and found out how tough it would be to clear their lines in the wind when a box kick came straight back over their heads. From the resulting play Penberthy dropped back in to the pocket and kicked a drop goal, cutting the gap to four points.
The former Trailfinder had his kicking boots on and a successful penalty just two minutes later meant that Ben Ward’s side held just a one point advantage with 30 minutes remaining.
Willis then restored the four point lead with a much needed penalty after a huge shove from the forwards at scrum time, and then for the final quarter the weather turned. Astonishing gusts of wind were making the game virtually unplayable as both sides struggled to keep hold of the ball.
The Trailfinders’ front-row fronted up and began to get dominance up front which allowed them to escape danger on numerous occasions, but the Reds wouldn’t die down as they continued to go in search of a winning try.
Ward’s side held firm to grind out an outstanding victory which was summed up by the last phase of play where they defended for their lives to secure themselves a place in the Championship Cup Quarter Final, which cued enormous celebrations on the touchline.
