Really sorry to see those who are leaving go, but we can only wish them well. All smashing lads who have played their part in an incredible season. A special shout out to TJ Harris. He has been superb over the 4 seasons that he has spent with us and hopefully he can leave with 2 winners medals hanging around his neck. You will get a few beers bought for you next season when you visit with your new club. Where's the Cov Kid off to next, do we know yet? Presumably not back home as we seem to be ok for hookers.

Not yet confirmed, altho' believe you may be right about where he isn't going...

He lives 50 yards away from me and I also believe Kimbo is right on where he isn't going.

By not showing the Championship Cup Final live on TV, I think that the RFU, Championship Rugby and, perhaps Ealing, are showing this tournament the contempt that most of us think it deserves!

I think a few leavers are in the squad who otherwise might not be.

Both squads are missing a few key players mate but I'm sure the lads selected will give their best. From the games I've seen Ealing have had the outstanding squad this season but been just below par in a couple of key matches whereas Jersey have probably massively exceeded expectations and carried their luck when necessary. At home Ealing should win tomorrow but if BA do their stuff tomorrow morning I hope to see both teams leave nothing behind and the best team on the day prevail. Either team would be a breath of fresh air in the premiership but if they cant see it I'm just as happy to look forward to seeing old friends in the Championship. Howay Jersey give it your best lads.

I see the poll is currently all square - does this mean we are heading for extra time? And a kicking comp?!

Ealing scrum destroyed so far. That is keeping Jersey in the game.

This is the best game I have seen at Vallis Way for a long long time

Half time with no further score. Forty minutes of blood and thunder - nothing in it.

Ealing 35 - Jesey 31 - FT Jersey score a couple of tries with the game decided to pretty up the scoreboard. Ealing backs made the difference.
