U16 Players Step Up to Represent Ealing Trailfinders Under 17s

We are incredibly proud of three of our Under 16 players who stepped up to represent CHAMP side Ealing Trailfinders Under 17s over the weekend. Fred Hammond, Alfie Allan and Freddie Eastwood-Squire all pulled on the U17 shirt, showing maturity, commitment and quality well beyond their age group.

Despite a tough fixture, away against Glasgow Warriors U17s, the team delivered a competitive performance, eventually losing 52–36 in a high-scoring and entertaining match. The scoreline reflected the attacking intent and resilience shown throughout the game, with our players playing their part at every stage.

A special mention goes to Alfie Allan, who capped off his performance by getting on the scoresheet.

The players showed great attitude, physicality and composure, contributing to the team and demonstrating why they deserve opportunities at the next level.

As a club, we take huge pride in seeing our youth players progress through the pathway and earn representative opportunities. Coach Foz has created a team unrivaled in the Kent and South East area.

Fred, Alfie and Freddie fully embody our values on and off the pitch, and their efforts have not gone unnoticed.

These kinds of experiences are vital in player development.

Representing Ealing Trailfinders Under 17s will help all three players grow, learn and bring extra knowledge and confidence back into our Under 16s environment.

Well done to all three lads on a strong showing at Under 17 level.

Next week sees Ealing Trailfinders Under 17s face another CHAMP side, Coventry, and we hope to see more Canterbury RFC Under 16 representation there, watch this space!
