Ealing Trailfinders vs Ampthill

Ealing Trailfinders got their second consecutive victory in the Greene King IPA Championship after a dominant 77-26 win over Ampthill.

The West Londoners scored 11 tries in total as the attack fired in impressive fashion to give Ben Ward’s side a confidence boosting win.

The hosts got off to the perfect start and Jordan Els opened the scoring after just four minutes to give them the lead, the South African broke away from a powerful maul to dot the ball down. Steven Shingler’s conversion was the first of seven from his boot to put them 7-0 ahead.

The lead doubled with eight minutes on the clock in identical fashion, with another maul allowing Dave McKern to score. Tommy Bell then gathered Elijah Niko’s audacious offload for try number three as the Green and Whites started to pull away, playing some scintillating rugby.

Ampthill got on the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter as Henri Williams went over from close range, but that would be as good as it got for the visitors who saw three tries conceded in the remainder of the first half.

Alun Walker scored two tries in 10 minutes from rolling mauls to extend the lead to 35-7, and Pat Howard then powered over from just two metres out to give his side a 42-7 advantage at the break.

The second half started in similar fashion to the first, with Reon Joseph scoring the try of the match to put the result beyond doubt. Steven Shingler’s cross field kick was judged to perfection, and Joseph gathered it before racing clear from 40 metres to the delight of the home crowd.

Tommy Bell then brought up the half century as he was the beneficiary of Jordy Reid’s inside pass to score under the posts for his second of the match. Ampthill crossed for their second shorty after as Sam Baker pounced on a counter attack as the game headed in to the final quarter.

Craig Hampson had a clear run to the line with an overlap on the right wing, but then Ampthill registered a deserved bonus point as Rob Langley and Sam Hanks both scored from close range.

There was still time for Lewis Jones and Matt Cornish to add more gloss to the scoreline with tries number 10 and 11. Jones gathered an offload and ran through from just inside the 22, before Cornish once again powered over from a maul to end the game in the same way it started.

That confirmed a 77-26 victory, and ensured that the Trailinders head in to next Friday’s derby at London Scottish in fine form.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Newcastle Falcons

Ealing Trailfinders suffered defeat in the top of the table clash against Newcastle as they went down 26-14 against the Falcons.

Ben Ward’s side enjoyed the majority of the possession and territory throughout but were punished for not taking their chances and were left empty handed after a relentless 80 minutes.

The Trailfinders started well and were in the ascendancy in the early stages of the match. A clearing kick from Steven Shingler fortuitously bounced up in to the arms of James Cordy Redden who was in acres of space but the Falcons defence scrambled back to wrestle him down.

Newcastle then opened the scoring with 16 minutes on the clock to take the lead. The Trailfinders were going through the phases in attack but Josh Matavesi intercepted a pass and then ran the length of the field to score under the posts. Toby Flood’s conversion extended the advantage to 7-0.

It then got better for the Falcons just three minutes later as Adam Radwan burst through for an individual score to shell-shock the Trailfinders defence. From a lineout a flat pass saw the winger beat the first man and he then used his searing pace to sprint through two defenders and dive over the line. Flood again added the extras to give the visitors a 14 point lead after the opening quarter.

A penalty for the hosts on the half hour mark then allowed the West Londoners to enter the Falcons 22, and that trip ended with them getting on the scoreboard. A maul was powering towards the line and it was brought down illegally so the Trailfinders opted for a kick at goal which Steven Shingler smashed through the posts, cutting the gap to 11 points.

Will Welch was then sent to the sin bin for the Falcons, and they were put under immense pressure until half time. Their maul defence allowed them to escape one attack from the hosts, but on both of the next visits in to their half a penalty allowed Shingler to dissect the posts and cut the deficit to just five points at the break.

The Green and Whites started the second half strongly and built the pressure in the early stages. Reon Joseph was within inches of scoring a wonder try as he stepped his way past a number of defenders on the wing, but in the act of putting the ball down he was hammered in to touch.

Shingler then spotted some space in behind and kicked towards Joseph who again was looking a threat, but the bounce fell kindly for the Falcons who managed to clear.

Dean Richards’ side then got some territory and threatened to extend their lead. With an overlap on the wing it looked as if Adam Radwan would get his second of the match, but Joseph scrambled back to keep him out.

The Falcons then landed what looked to be a decisive blow with 15 minutes remaining. They had two men free on the wing but as Tommy Bell looked for an interception he slapped the ball down, and the referee had no option but to give a penalty try and a yellow card to give the league leaders a 12 point lead.

That try however sparked the hosts in to life and they responded immediately. Shingler’s grubber kick found space, and Rayn Smid timed his run perfectly to dot the ball down before it went dead. The conversion went wide but the Trailfinders were eyeing up a late comeback to overturn a 14-21 deficit.

Any hope however of a memorable turnaround was ended when the Falcons went over for their bonus point try with just two minutes left. A kick ahead bounced in the Trailfinders 22 and it ended up with Gary Graham who was able to scramble over the line.

The hosts stayed in the fight for the final minute but the Falcons smashed the ball in touch to extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Coventry

Ealing Trailfinders secured a home Quarter Final in the Championship Cup after a dominant 56-19 victory over Coventry.

Ben Ward’s side scored eight tries in total as their physical dominance gave them the platform to run away with another impressive win at Trailfinders Sports Club.

The tries came from Jordy Reid, Andrew Durutalo, Craig Hampson, Tommy Bell, Rayn Smid, James Cordy Redden, Jordan Burns and Kieran Murphy as they booked a place in the last eight of the Cup.

Jordy Reid gave the hosts the perfect start with a try after just three minutes to put them in front. A rolling maul powered towards the line and the Australian broke away, giving himself a clear run to the line. Steven Shingler’s conversion put them 7-0 in front.

The visitors then sparked in to life straight away and responded just 60 seconds later to get level. A knock on bounced up in to the hands of Max Trimble, and he pounced on it to race away in to the corner.

Andrew Durutalo, who was outstanding throughout then gave the Trailfinders the lead with 12 minutes on the clock. A penalty was kicked to the corner and then after going through the phases, the back-rower was able to power over from just two metres out. Shingler then kicked a penalty before the 20 minute mark to extend the lead to eight points.

Coventry got back in to the game as Andy Bulumakau intercepted a pass and ran the length of the field to score, but the hosts then took their performance up a level to secure the bonus point before the break.

Craig Hampson spotted a gap in the defence from the base of a ruck and dummied his way to the line, before Tommy Bell pounced on Steven Shingler’s grubber kick to give the West Londoners a commanding lead.

Ben Nutley was sent to the sin-bin for killing the ball for the visitors, and Shingler then added another three points from the resulting penalty to put the host 32-12 up at the break.

The second half started in electric fashion and Rayn Smid scored a captain’s try with just 90 seconds played. Lewis Jones carried all the way to the line, and then the ball was spun wide to Smid who strolled in to the corner unattended.

Coventry then scored an opportunistic try as Jack Ram took advantage of an overthrown lineout to dot down, but the Trailfinders then went on the rampage with three tries in the final 10 minutes.

Shingler and Willis combined in the midfield and fizzed a pass to James Cordy Redden who had a clear run to the line on his return to the starting line-up to the delight of the home supporters.

Jordan Burns then ran clear from the half way line in trademark style as he timed his supporting run perfectly to hit the ball at searing pace, and Shingler’s conversion brought up the half century of points.

Kieran Murphy rounded off the scoring as he capitalised on an overlap created by Elliot Millar Mills’ break, giving the Green and Whites a commanding win to book their place in the last eight once again.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Bedford Blues

Ealing Trailfinders rampaged their way to their biggest win of the season after a huge 80-17 victory over Bedford Blues.

The West Londoners scored 12 tries in total in a relentless attacking display to put the Blues to the sword in mightily impressive fashion.

Once again the Green and Whites started quickly and scored their first try inside the opening 60 seconds. Craig Willis went straight through a gap in the defence and had Elijah Niko alongside him who crossed for his first try for the club.

Bedford however responded straight away and took the lead with 3 minutes on the clock. Dan Temm intercepted and raced through from 50 metres out to score. Lewis Robling’s conversion gave the visitors a 7-5 advantage.

That seemed to galvanise the Trailfinders who then scored three tries in six minutes to take control of the match.

Elliot Millar Mills powered over from close range to put his side back in front, before Reon Joseph had a walk in to the line after Tommy Bell’s pass out the back.

Craig Willis then strolled through an enormous hole to secure the bonus point, as the Trailfinders held a 24-7 lead with only 16 minutes played.

Rayn Smid was next to cross the line in a strong captain’s performance, again Bell was playing at second receiver and hit the skipper with a flat pass to cruise his way over.

Bell was rewarded with a try of his own on the half hour mark, a five metre scrum gave the hosts a fine attacking platform and as it spun wide the full-back then squeezed over in the corner.

Fields then got one back for the Blues from a rolling maul, but the Trailfinders still had time for two more tries before the break to bring up the half century.

Elijah Niko pounced on Willis’ cross field kick to bring up the 40 point mark, and then Jordy Reid was the beneficiary of Andrew Durutalo’s big carry to make it 52-12 to the hosts at half time.

The Trailfinders showed no signs of letting off in the second half, with Harry Sloan scoring after just 90 seconds. Another defence splitting pass from Willis allowed the centre to run clear from outside the 22.

Bedford then looked to rally as they eyed a try bonus point, and Dan Temm took a penalty quickly to score their third.

The Green and Whites however refused to let off and scored three more tries in the final quarter to extend the lead even further.

A collapsed maul fell just short of the try-line, and Kieran Murphy was there from the next phase to batter his way over. Craig Hampson then quick-tapped from just five metres out to bring up 70 points, and David Johnston then rounded off the scoring with a long range try to broaden the smiles on the home supporters.

Craig Willis added his 10th conversion to make it 80-17, and confirm an enormous victory for the Trailfinders who go from strength to strength in the Championship Cup.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Coventry

Ealing Trailfinders were stung by a late comeback as Coventry scored two tries in the final quarter to leave West London with a 28-28 draw.

Ben Ward’s side had built a 28-14 lead with 20 minutes remaining after tries from Kieran Murphy, Matt Cornish, Rayn Smid and Harry Casson but had to settle for a share of the points on a wet and windy day at Trailfinders Sports Club.

The Trailfinders once again made a fast start and took the lead with just five minutes on the clock, a trait that has served them well so far this season. A penalty was kicked to the corner, and with the ball coming straight down from Rayn Smid it fell to Kieran Murphy who powered his way to the line from close range. Craig Willis added the extras to give the hosts a 7-0 lead.

Coventry then looked for a response and after a period of sustained pressure they got their reward. A succession of penalties saw them edge towards the line and then a rolling maul allowed Darren Dawidiuk to break away and open their account. Will Maisey’s conversion sailed over the posts to level the score.

Matt Cornish then put the hosts back in front just a minute later as the Green and Whites scored straight from the re-start. A penalty almost immediately was kicked within five metres of the line, and then in trademark style Matt Cornish was on hand at the back of the maul to score for the second consecutive week. Willis was again on the money from the tee to increase the advantage to seven points.

Craig Hampson was sent to the sin-bin on the half hour mark after an attempted interception was slapped down, and that allowed Coventry to cross the try-line again as they started to dominate the rest of the first half.

They inched towards the line and then found Rory Jennings who picked a great line to burst past the final defender. Maisey’s conversion made it 14-14 as the clock edged towards half time.

Rayn Smid looked to have put the Trailfinders back in front but was held up over the line to the disappointment of the home fans, and the sides then headed down the tunnel after a tight opening 40 minutes.

Ward’s men came out firing in the second half and were rampant in the opening stages to take control of the match.

Elijah Niko smashed past a couple of defenders to take play over the half way line and Harry Casson then broke as he entered the 22. Willis lifted the ball over the top and Rayn Smid was on hand to power over, giving his side the lead again. The flags went up for WIllis’ conversion as they once again held a seven point advantage.

Reon Joseph was then inches from getting on to the end of Craig Hampson’s box kick, but it didn’t take long for the bonus point try to arrive as Harry Casson bundled over.

A penalty was kicked to the corner and despite going close from the maul, Casson forced his way through the defence after minutes of pressure to give the hosts some breathing space.

Coventry refused to lie down and got back in to the match with a try from Max Trimble. They had possession on the half way line and a speculative pass found the winger in acres of space who had the pace to run clear. Maisey’s excellent touchline conversion cut the deficit to just seven points.

The pressure was building as the visitors eyed up a draw, and they would seal a share of the spoils with just three minutes left. Rory Jennings saw David Halaifonua on the wing and delivered an inch-perfect cross-field kick which allowed the Tongan international to score in the corner. Maisey again nailed the conversion under immense pressure to tie the scores.

Late drama then saw Rayn Smid crash his way past a number of defenders and race up to the half way line with Ben West on the inside, however the visitors managed to scramble back and ensure that the referee would signal the end of the match.

The Trailfinders now face two weeks on the road against Yorkshire Carnegie and Doncaster Knights as they look to regain their form.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Jersey Reds

Ealing Trailfinders got back to winning ways in style after an eventful 52-38 victory over Jersey Reds at Trailfinders Sports Club.

Ben Ward’s side scored seven tries in total to register their first win of the league season, a win that was built on a relentless first half performance which saw them lead 33-0 at the break.

Jersey responded in the second half with six tries of their own to make for an eventful 80 minutes in the West London Autumn sun.

Dave McKern opened the scoring for the hosts after just six minutes to put them in front. A penalty was kicked to the corner and from the rolling maul, McKern broke away to cross the line against his old club. Steven Shingler added the conversion to increase the advantage to seven points.

Shingler then kicked two penalties in quick succession to put his side 13-0 up as the opening quarter drew to a close, and from then until half time the Trailfinders took their performance up a gear to take control of the match.

Alun Walker rumbled over for his 50th Ealing Trailfinders try with 25 minutes on the clock in trademark style as he broke away from a maul to power to the line. That was then quickly followed by James Cordy Redden crossing for an outstanding score on the half hour mark. An attacking lineout put the Trailfinders on the front foot, and an inside ball from Jordy Reid found the winger who was able to race clear from 20 metres.

It got even better for Cordy Redden just two minutes after as he dived over in the right hand corner again to secure the bonus point. After going through the phases in the 22 there was an overlap on the right, and quick hands found him to bring up 30 points for the hosts as half time approached.

Shingler then kicked his third penalty with the final play of the half to increase the lead to 33-0, a commanding position as the teams headed down the tunnel.

Jersey came out firing in the second half and scored after just two minutes as they looked to get back in to the match. Leroy Van Dam broke the defensive line and passed to Kyle Hatherell who had a free run in to the corner.

The Trailfinders responded straight away to regain control as Will Davis marked his return to Vallis Way with a try. A five metre scrum gave the hosts the platform, and the ball was popped up to the prop from the following phase who picked a great line to score under the posts. Shingler’s conversion increased the lead to 40-5 with half an hour remaining.

The visitors were thriving on loose ball as the game began to open up, and with searing pace in the back-line they began to take advantage. Van Dam capitalised on an opportunity to score their second, but once more the Trailfinders responded. A penalty allowed them to kick in to the corner, and once again Alun Walker broke off the back of a maul as he scored his second of the match.

Jersey then scored twice in quick succession as they registered a deserved four-try bonus point. Van Dam dotted down before Auguy Slowik also dived over for identical tries as once again loose ball ended up in their hands, and all of a sudden the lead was cut down to 19 points.

Matt Cornish brought up the half century of points for the hosts with just five minutes remaining as another rolling maul allowed him to score, and Shingler’s conversion saw the scoreboard read 52-26.

Jersey still had two tries left in them in the closing stages, with Will Homer pouncing on a grubber kick to complete his hat-trick before Jack MacFarlane went over from close range to round off the scoring.

The ball was then smashed in to touch to confirm a 52-38 victory after a breathless 80 minutes, and with another big test against Bedford Blues next weekend, a timely confidence boost was secured by the Trailfinders.

Ealing Trailfinders made it two wins in two matches so far in the 2019/20 season after a dominant 43-5 victory over Ampthill at Trailfinders Sports Club.

Ben Ward’s side scored seven tries in total with the foundations coming from a strong set-piece to give them front foot ball throughout.

Andrew Durutalo, Reon Joseph, Harry Sloan, Jack Tovey, David Johnston all crossed the try-line as well as a double from Ben West to ensure that the Green and Whites registered another bonus point win.

The first try of the afternoon came from Andrew Durutalo with just 10 minutes on the clock as a scrum was turned on it’s head and the ball popped out straight to the back-rower who powered over the line from five metres out. Craig Willis added the conversion to give his side a 7-0 lead.

Reon Joseph scored try number two just four minutes later as the hosts began to take control of the match. After a penalty was kicked to touch the Trailfinders entered the 22 and from first phase a huge looping pass from Craig Willis allowed the winger to run in to the corner unattended.

Harry Sloan scored try number three inside the first quarter with an outstanding team try. James Cordy Redden and Rayn Smid combined down the wing, and passed inside to the man of the match who coasted through to the line to extend the lead to 17-0.

Ampthil got a deserved try on the half hour mark with a piece of quick thinking which ended in a smart try. With a penalty awarded a cross-field kick landed in the arms of Will Foster who got the visitors on the scoreboard.

Jack Tovey then secured the bonus point with the final play of the first half. An overthrow opened up an opportunity for Kieran Murphy who was brought down just short, and the ball was recycled to Tovey who powered over the line.

Both sides struggled for momentum in the second half due to the large amount of stoppages, and a number of opportunities passed both teams by with handling errors costing them.

Ampthill were reduced to 14 men with Matthew Collins sent to the sin bin, and after a whole host of replacements the Trailfinders took advantage with three tries in the final quarter.

Ben West smashed over from close range after going through the phases on the try-line with 15 minutes left to take the tally over the 30 point mark.

David Johnston then crossed with his first touch after some smart hands from the scrum. Two dummy runners created the space, and allowed the Irishman to dive over from five metres out.

The final play of the match saw the Trailfinders score with a memorable try to confirm the victory. A turnover fell in to the hands of Oli Robinson who released Tommy Bell down the wing, and he drew in the final defender before passing inside to Ben West who ran through from 30 metres.

That try took the total up to 43 points, and signalled the end of the match to ensure that the Green and Whites made it two wins from two ahead of next Friday’s trip to Coventry in Round Three of the Championship Cup.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Bishop’s Stortford

Ealing Trailfinders started their pre-season matches with a comprehensive 73-14 win over Bishop’s Stortford at Trailfinders Sports Club.

Ben Ward’s side scored 11 tries as they rampaged their way to victory in a confidence-boosting performance as they continue to build towards the 2019/20 season.

The first try came with just 10 minutes on the clock as Reon Joseph opened his account in trademark style. A long looping pass from Steven Shingler found the winger in space, and he stepped the final defender to go over in the corner. Shingler then converted from the touchline as his side took a 7-0 lead.

Peter Lydon then capitalised on a loose ball to break away from the half way line and run under the posts, before Seb Stegmann latched on to a neat dummy from Craig Hampson and an inside ball from Oli Robinson for try number three.

Harry Sloan then picked a great line from a lineout to smash his way to the line from the first phase, and Reon Joseph got his second try by intercepting from 40 metres to run through unattended. Shingler’s fourth conversion of the half extended the lead to 33-0.

In the final play of the half Nick Hankin got a deserved score for the visitors as he latched on to a grubber kick to send the teams down the tunnel at half time with the scoreboard reading 33-7 to the hosts.

The Trailfinders then started the second half in style with a try from David Johnston. A five metre scrum gave them the platform, and the captain drove over from close range to dive under the posts.

Ben West then scored with his first touch as he was the beneficiary of a flat pass to wrestle to the line from close range, and just five minutes later Seb Stegmann brought up the half century of points by towing over the final defender and gathering a cross field kick to dive over the line.

Harry Dugmore became the first Trailfinders Rugby Academy member to represent the first team and another try followed straight after, as a huge hit in defence from Craig Willis saw the ball fly out and Jordan Burns pounced to race clear.

Bishop’s Stortford crossed for their second try with 15 minutes remaining as Tom Lewis crashed over from close range, but the Trailfinders stepped up a level in the closing stages.

David Johnston’s first match as captain got even better with his second try on the 70 minute mark. Dugmore broke and was brought down just inches from the line, before the ball was spun to Johnston who scored in the corner.

The final score of the match came in the last minute as Andrew Durutalo raced on to Pat Howard’s offload to bring up the 70 point mark, and Craig Willis’ third conversion of the match ensured that the Trailfinders recorded an impressive 73-14 win ahead of their trip to Rosslyn Park next Saturday.

Ealing Trailfinders vs London Irish

Ealing Trailfinders won the Championship Cup after a dramatic 23-17 victory over London Irish at Trailfinders Sports Club.

Ben Ward’s side were forced to defend their own line for the final three minutes but managed to smash the ball out to confirm a memorable victory in front of a record crowd.

The Trailfinders were showing no signs of nerves in the opening stages and dominated the first quarter, resulting in the first try of the match after just 11 minutes. A penalty was kicked to the corner, and from the lineout Craig Willis floated an inch-perfect pass to Seb Stegmann on the wing who was able to score in the corner. The conversion blew wide in the wind, but Ward’s side were showing their intent.

It almost got even better just five minutes later as Jordan Burns raced away for a try, however it was disallowed by the Television Match Official. Willis, who was playing sublime rugby dummied and broke through the line before releasing Burns. The scrum-half stormed his way to the line, but in the process of scoring a knock on was called.

Will Harries then scored the second try on the 20 minute mark as the hosts continued their dominant start. Willis kicked in behind and it bounced up perfectly to Harries who was able to dive on the ball to score. The conversion was wide but the lead was now up to 10 points.

Irish responded immediately and scored 10 minutes before the half-hour as they ramped up the pressure. Ben Loader pounced on a loose clearance and skipped through the entire defence to race under the posts. Stephen Myler converted as the lead was down to just three points.

Willis then kicked a penalty as the Trailfinders went six points in front, but just three minutes later Myler kicked one for Irish to cancel it out.

A crucial moment came just before half time as Scott Steele took a quick penalty and scored from just five metres out, however the TMO said he was just short and the Trailinders went down the tunnel at half time with a 13-10 lead.

Ward’s men started the second half brilliantly and extended their lead after just five minutes. An incredible spell of play saw them go through 36 phases in the Irish 22, and with a penalty given they spun the ball wide to David Johnston who beat the final defender to score. Willis converted to extend the lead to 10 points.

Willis then kicked a penalty to take the lead up to 13 points, but Irish came back and scored as Terrence Hepetema bundled over the line. The conversion cut the lead to just six points with 10 minutes to go.

A penalty on half way looked to have secured the victory, however the kick missed touch and Irish came raring back in the final minute. With the ball on the Trailfinders’ line they managed to hold out the pressure and fire the ball in to the stands to begin the enormous celebrations as the 2018/19 season ended with silverware.

Ealing Trailfinders vs Bedford Blues

Ealing Trailfinders rampaged their way to a relentless 54-21 victory over Bedford Blues at Trailfinders Sports Club.

Ben Ward’s men scored eight tries as they dominated the entire 80 minutes to register another impressive win as their fantastic end of season form continues.

The Trailfinders made an electric start and had the bonus point secured within the first half an hour, with the first try coming from Rayn Smid after just 10 minutes. A five metre scrum saw the hosts given a number of penalties in succession, and they played from the advantage by spreading the ball wide. Kieran Murphy then picked a great line and offloaded to Smid who was able to dot the ball down from close range. Craig Willis added the conversion to give his side a 7-0 advantage.

Will Harries then scored two tries in as many minutes as the Green and Whites took control of the match in the opening quarter. A Jordan Burns break on half way saw him skip past three defenders, and he drew in the full back before passing outside to Harries who had a clear run to the line. Willis was on target again as the lead grew again.

Just two minutes later Harries crossed again to the delight of the home supporters who were enjoying some impressive rugby in the sun. Bedford were looking to get on the front foot and were going through the phases on half way, but a looping pass was intercepted by the Welshman and he ran under the posts from 50 metres to score try number three. Willis’ conversion put the hosts 21-0 up after just 20 minutes.

Bedford responded immediately to score their first points of the afternoon with a try from Dean Adamson. They had the ball deep in the 22 and spun the ball out to Adamson who stepped inside past four defenders to dive over the line. Will Hooley’s conversion cut the deficit to 14 points.

The Trailfinders reasserted their control and went further ahead just before the half hour mark as they also secured the bonus point with try number four. They worked their way up to the line and then a trademark zipping pass from Craig Willis found James Cordy Redden on the wing who finished powerfully in the corner. The conversion went just wide but the lead was now a dominant 19 points.

It got even better before half time as a wonder try from Reon Joseph put the result beyond doubt. A scrum on the hosts’ try-line was spun straight to the 19-year-old, and he skipped past the entire Bedford defence and showed his incredible pace to score a try which caused the home supporters to erupt. Willis kicked the conversion and his side then headed down the tunnel with a convincing 33-7 advantage at the break.

Bedford started the second half well and scored after just five minutes as they looked to start a comeback. A penalty was kicked to the corner, and James Lennon dummied from the base of the maul to dive over the line. Hooley added the extras as the visiting supporters got some optimism with 35 minutes remaining.

The Trailfinders however were in no mood to allow Bedford back in to the game, and responded with a try straight away to keep the momentum going. A penalty was smashed deep in to their 22, and with the maul powering over Jordan Burns was able to snipe away to score a deserved try. Willis, who had his kicking boots on brought up the 40 point mark with the conversion.

Try number seven came on the hour mark as Ward’s relentless side continued to dominate in a fantastic performance. Pat Howard and Lewis Jones broke through the line as the centre pairing kept getting better, and after being brought down just short the ball was recycled to Kieran Murphy who was never going to be stopped from just three metres out. The conversion from Willis extended the lead to 47-14.

Alun Walker marked his 100th appearance for the club with a try to bring up the half century of points with just one minute remaining. In trademark fashion the hooker broke away from a maul and dotted down for yet another score. Willis scored the hosts’ final points of the game as the conversion sailed through the posts.

Bedford scored a consolation try as Pat Tapley stepped his way to the line from half way but it proved too late as the referee blew the final whistle to confirm a 54-21 win for the Trailfinders.

The Green and Whites now head to the Madejski Stadium to sign off the Championship season against London Irish before welcoming the same opponents for the Cup Final on Saturday May 4th.
