"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he today that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother."

Last Saturday, Ealing Trailfinders 1871 1st XV stood tall, puffed out their chests, and declared, "This is our day."

Indeed, it was, as a 28-24 win over Old Bristolians brought home their first piece of silverware in many a season, and celebrated in the same style in which they had played.

We catch up with head coach Phil 'Smudger' Smith and captain Lewis Steadman to look back on a day that will be etched in the club's history and talked about long after the heroes of the hour have hung up their boots.

It is a team stuffed with experience and sprinkled with talented youth, so we catch up with one of Smudger's Young Guns, Theo Szweda, to preview the match, gauge the levels of excitement, and discuss how many of his family and friends will head west.
