Calum Jones can barely remember life away from Ealing Trailfinders, and while work keeps him away more than he likes, when he's available, he's all in.
He's been coming to Vallis Way since he was six, and even while away at university, it was his first port of call when home.
We hear what major government project is keeping him away, what the club means to him, and enjoy a brief cameo from coach Phil 'Smudger' Smith.

Akeem Eubank Anderson, an Ealing lad and a product of the club. He's been and gone to see the rugby world but is now back to share his experiences at Vallis Way.
A prop forward who loves his role so much that he wears his scrum cap after training, someone who has trained with a World Cup winner, and someone who starred down Welsh Valley rugby and gave as good as he gets.
He tells us about his rugby story (so far), what Ealing Trailfinders means to him, and what the next few months could mean for the club.

It's back! Tinged golden from the sun of south and south-east Asia, and still flowing in the wind as its owner charges around the paddock. The mullet has returned.
Harry Reed touched down two weeks ago after five and a half months exploring the world, and within a fortnight he was back in the 1st XV and helping the team to victory over Hitchin.
We talk about his return and performance, wandering the highways and byways of Thailand, and most importantly what he has on his pancakes.

Harrison Slater, joined the club as a boy and now he's a 100-cap man, and didn't he do it in style!
Having first worn the green and white at five years of age in the rugby rats section, and passed through the minis, youth and academy, he has now racked up 100 appearances for the men's section and has the tie to prove it.
Harrison's 100th (officially) match ended perfectly with him kicking the winning penalty four minutes from time to give the second XV another win as they moved up the table.
He tells us about the match, what the club means to him, and what we can expect as the season comes to a close.

We talk results, playing in the mud, the new wave of players, and how this season has become very much a family affair.

When skipper Lewis Steadman was injured, Ryan Conyard stepped up and led the team to a 90-point win on a memorable day for the first-time captain.
It continued the team's good run in January and ensured that for two straight weeks, the firsts and seconds enjoyed victories.
We look back on those wins, talk about captaincy and how much Ryan likes life at inside-centre.

Luke Beasley has one of the most important roles at the club. As second XV captain, he is responsible for ensuring his players keep the first XV on their toes, making sure they are ready to step up, and bringing up players who have impressed for the third XV.
It is onerous, but he's loving it, especially as the team are beginning to fulfil their potential after a slow start to the season.
More recently they had the only win of the past weekend, and Luke looks back on that win, his anointment as second XV captain, his move to hooker, and forward to a weekend when all three teams head east.

Will Day has been with the club since he was eight years of age, and he is now a huge part of the 1871 men's squad, and aiming to help the team to new heights.
Not only is the number 8 chasing folk down on the pitch, but he does all that while juggling his job as a construction manager while gaining his degree.
He came through the Academy with a few other familiar names, and while he usually wears eight, find out why he'd prefer to wear seven, where else he's played, and how much his involvement with the Academy continues to help him today.

Keir Gordon is loving life in London. The Liverpool native is down in London for work, and his short time with Ealing 1871 is going swimmingly.
He has settled into life at Vallis Way, and put in some impressive performances at centre and fullback.
We look back on the big win before Christmas, the three home matches coming this weekend, and what his specialist subject will be at the club quiz night.

He's back...Harry Vidler, a friend of the pod and match winner in the latest 1st XV victory, away to Finchley.
The fly-half, and sometimes team captain, reflects on what he claims is "the best team performance since I've been at Ealing," and describes how the team fought back in heavy conditions.
Harry also looks forward to the final match of the season, which will be played at home to Chiswick under the lights at Vallis Way on Friday.

Gereint Price, a first-teamer, local lad, and someone who is hugely refreshed after having a weekend off when Storm Darragh struck.
We look back on his time at Vallis Way, well briefly as it covers 20 years, and look forward to the final two matches before Christmas, starting this Saturday when the first XV travel to Finchley.
We also look forward to the highlight of the Christmas calendar and the 12 Pubs Of Ealing. Can young Pricey name them all?

Call him the prodigal son, call him the returning hero, or just call him Pat. Whatever you call him, Pat Nash has returned to his spiritual home and he couldn't be happier.
His boots have less mud on, his golf clubs are packed away (well, in his boot) and he is smiling to be back among the troops at Vallis Way, after 11 months up the A40, and up a division with Amersham.
He's already up to speed with the new calls, the new style, and the new faces, and is now champing at the bit to pull on the green and white shirt again.

Toby Holt, a boy when he joined the club, is now a man with serious responsibilities.
Having been named club captain over pre-season, the one-time enfant terrible explains what the role entails, what he wants to bring as club captain, and how the players' committee are helping him out.
We also look back on a dogged win on the road, and the ramifications as we turn our attention to the run-in to Christmas.

Jacob Pepper is a well-established part of life at Vallis Way.
Right now he's nursing a shoulder injury that is keeping him away from the pitch, but he's as busy as ever coaching the 1871 Women's team.
He updates us on his recovery, what he loves about the club, what to expect if he takes you back to his hometown club, and who his favourite partner on coach karaoke is.

It was a special training session this week with Ealing Trailfinders professionals Ollie Newman and Tyler Bocks coming down to Vallis Way to help pass their experience on to the squad.
The pair tells us what they ran through in their sessions, as well as how life in the Championship and Premiership Cup is treating them this season.
We also hear from head coach Phil 'Smudger' Smith, who looks back on a win that delighted the whole club, and ahead to a weekend when all three teams are at home.

Richie Triple R is one of the club's new faces this season and has already made it a home away from home.
The Welsh-born, Middlesex rep has already made his mark at Vallis Way, bringing his experience and quality to the field in the No.9 shirt.
We chat about what brought him down to the club, what Ealing Trailfinders players Michael Strong and Cameron Terry taught them, and which song he belted out as part of his initiation.

Dave 'Brathers' Brathwaite is asking the lads one thing this October, get on the phone to your GP and book a PSA test.
Prostate Cancer kills 12,000 men every year, there are 52,000 new diagnoses, and 475,000 men are living with or have had prostate cancer.
He's asking that you get yourself checked (a simple blood test) to rule out or receive an early diagnosis. Get it booked now.
We also look ahead to a big weekend for the 1st XV, and reflect on a big win for the 1871 Women.

Flynn Ward, a man whose blood is nothing but green, a man who took his first steps in rugby at Vallis Way, and is ready to make a belated, injury-affected start to the season.
He's aiming for the first weekend in November for his return and to help the team push on after a strong start to the season.
Flynn talks us through his injury prognosis, his positional switch, and where he disappeared to last season.
