Ealing Trailfinders ran out 20-18 victors over Yorkshire Carnegie in this Championship semi-final second leg clash from Headingley. Ealing started brightly and at one stage looked as if they would be able to make up the heavy aggregate score deficit from the first leg but it was not to be. Despite an excellent display of class and bravery on the night, they were unable to build a lead significant enough to really worry Yorkshire. The home side's peace of mind was due largely to the kicking masterclass put on by Joe Ford who was 6/6 on the night. Luke Peters went over in the corner in the 84th minute for an excellent try which clinched victory on the night for Ealing. However, on aggregate, Yorkshire won the tie 52 - 36 and booked their place in the play off final for the first time in the club's history. Ealing will be disappointed to have come so close but will take huge pride in their performance tonight and will look forward to next season with a very positive outlook.
