Alun Walker and Matt Cornish sign on with Ealing Trailfinders

Ealing Trailfinders have rewarded Alun Walker and Matt Cornish for their performances by awarding them new contracts for next season.

The 26-year-old Walker is in his third season at the club having joined before the 2014-15 season. The Scotsman helped the team to the National 1 title which marked his return to their  Championship where he had previously played for Nottingham.

He scored five tries in 17 appearances last season and has already bettered that total with hat-tricks against Bedford Blues and Dragons Premiership Select.

Matt Cornish has been rewarded with a first-team contract following his form with the academy side over the past two seasons.

Cornish has been a regular in the Ealing Trailfinders match-day squad since he made his first Championship appearance away to London Irish in September.

Since then he has been involved a further 16 times and has scored two tries.

Walker and Cornish's re-signing mean that they will be competing for the hooking spots along with Rhys Lawrence who is going into the second year of his two-year deal at Vallis Way.
