TRAILFINDERS SPORTS CLUB
About
Ealing Trailfinders are the West London representatives in Champ Rugby, the second tier of the English rugby union pyramid. The club traces its roots to 1871, when Ealing Football Club played its first rugby match on Ealing Common. It took the Trailfinders name in 1999 after relocating to the Trailfinders Sports and Social Club at Vallis Way, which remains the club’s home today. Ealing have been one of the division’s dominant sides in recent seasons, but ground capacity has repeatedly kept them out of the Premiership even after winning the title.
