Andrew Quick is a very busy boy, with more fingers in Ealing Trailfinders pies than Little Jack Horner.

A community coach for the professional sides, the head coach of the 1871 women's team, an assistant coach for the men's teams, and occasionally a player.

It's quite the full plate for someone who grew up wanting to play rugby league or lead the line for Everton, but he loves life at Vallis Way and explains how it al the different parts of the puzzle link up.

He's back....hirsute hooker Luke Parry has returned to Vallis Way after a season living and playing and Kent, and he can't keep the smile off his face now that he's back in W13.

We chat about where he's been, who he's been playing for, why he's returned, and all manner of science that only one of us understood.

Luke also regales us with stories of his past as a (try-scoring) Cambridge Blue at Twickenham, and what it takes to upset a former England fly-half.

It was a summer of change as Ealing 1871, most notably at the coaching level where Phil 'Smudger' Smith came in as head coach.

He has an impressive background in rugby, and he will pass on his experience as we chase another memorable season.

We get to know Smudger, learn about his playing days, his transition to coaching, his hopes for 1871, and what it is like to have World Cup winner, Neil Back gunning for you.
