Memorable game from 2013/14 – Ealing Trailfinders v Roth

This memorable game from the 2013/14 season saw Rotherham travel to Vallis Way to take on Ealing Trailfinders, in round 23 of the Greene King IPA Championship.

This was the final regular season game before Rotherham would go on to play Bristol in a two-legged semi-final for a potential place in the Premiership.

The game turned out to be a high-scoring affair, as Ealing battled away knowing a win would preserve their status as a Championship club.

Roth had held a 29-3 advantage early in the second half before the hosts mounted a stunning fightback. However, Roth held on to run out 36-29 winners.

The result coupled with Jersey’s away win at Bedford on the same afternoon meant Ealing suffered relegation from the Championship.

Titans scored 5 tries through a brace each for Curtis Wilson and Charlie Mulchrone and one from Jordan Davies; whilst Garry Law and Juan Pablo Socino added 11 points from the tee.
