Ealing Trailfinders
RuFC
E
aling Trailfinders RUFC is a terrific example of a well-run community establishment. On the field they have enjoyed
terrific success, winning promotion to the Greene King IPA Championship after a fantastic season. Their Director of
Coaching, Ben Ward, took the time to give us an insight into what has behind the club’s success in recent times.
Involvement
He told us, “I have been here for 11 years now. I was
studying at University and the then Director of Rugby
Mike Cudmore invited me down to play. The first thing
that struck me was the quality of the facilities and the
ambition of the club.”
The Role
“The most rewarding parts of my role are seeing the guys
working hard all week and then watching that come
off at the weekend. All the studying of the opposition,
running moves, handling practice and strength and
conditioning sessions are for one thing; to play well at
the weekend and earn the result we want. The most
challenging thing is not being able to influence matches
when you are on the side-line and having to tell players
you will not be renewing their contracts.”
