Gereint Price, a first-teamer, local lad, and someone who is hugely refreshed after having a weekend off when Storm Darragh struck. We look back on his time at Vallis Way, well briefly as it covers 20 years, and look forward to the final two matches before Christmas, starting this Saturday when the first XV travel to Finchley. We also look forward to the highlight of the Christmas calendar and the 12 Pubs Of Ealing. Can young Pricey name them all? #BleedGreenSaturday 14 December1st XV v Finchely (A) 14.003rd XV v Ickenham (A) 14.00

Call him the prodigal son, call him the returning hero, or just call him Pat. Whatever you call him, Pat Nash has returned to his spiritual home and he couldn't be happier. His boots have less mud on, his golf clubs are packed away (well, in his boot) and he is smiling to be back among the troops at Vallis Way, after 11 months up the A40, and up a division with Amersham. He's already up to speed with the new calls, the new style, and the new faces, and is now champing at the bit to pull on the green and white shirt again. #BleedGreenSaturday 7 DecemberEaling 1871 1sts v Old Streetonians (A)Ealing 1871 2nds v Quintin (A)
