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.

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.
