Ealing Trailfinders welcome local rivals Richmond to Trailfinders Sports Club this Saturday aiming to make it five wins from five in season 2022/23.

The 2021/22 Championship and Championship Cup winners recorded a powerful 5-50 away win over Coventry on Saturday, backing up from their impressive 42-7 victory over Hartpury two weeks ago. Richmond make the short trip to West London following their first win of the Championship season, defeating Hartpury 19-15 on Saturday.

Director of Rugby Ben Ward, commented: "It always a tough game against Richmond, they're a good side, who are extremely well coached. We had a difficult preseason battle with them in August (Richmond 26 - Ealing 35) and we know they're determined to respond and showcase their improvement."

Saturday local derby is set to be an entertaining contest with both sides renowned for their fast, attacking rugby. There's also the opportunity for spectators to enjoy the post-match entertainment with a DJ playing live music in the clubhouse from 5pm-9pm.
