    Mr Ealing With Ash Spencer

    There are club legends, and then there is Ash Spencer, a man with nearly 700 appearances in an Ealing Trailfinders shirt of some kind, and no intention of slowing down. Ash made his debut in green and white in 1998, and hasn't looked back. There's been teams, teammates, and stories aplenty, and Ash looks back on them all, and more importantly, what keeps him coming back. He also tells us why his involvement with Ealing is now a family affair. #BleedGreen Results - Sunday 8 November Ealing Trailfinders 1871 Women 1st XV 36-0 Ironsides (H) Fixtures Friday 13 November Ealing Trailfinders 1871 1st XV Belsize Park, 20.00 (H) Saturday 14 November Ealing Trailfinders 1871 2nd XV v Enfield Ignations 14.00 (A) Ealing Trailfinders 1871 3rd XV v Southgate 14.00 (A) Sunday 15 November Ealing Trailfinders 1871 Women 2nd XV - Inner Warror Tournament, Enfield Ignatians, 13.30 Hosted on Acast.

    The Finale

    The season is over, the kit has been packed away, the balls deflated, and bodies given the chance for a rest...so here we are looking back on a remarkable season for all three men's 1871 teams. We catch up with head coach Phil 'Smudger' Smith, club captain Toby Holt and first XV skipper Lewis Steadman to reflect on the past campaign. There are lots of highlights to look back on with pride, promotions, cup finals, new faces and some spectacular rugby. For now, we'll all take a break until it all kicks off again in September. Enjoy your summer and above all, #bleedgreen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
