EALING Trailfinders secured back-to-back titles with two games to spare, but this year's Dream Team is nicely spread out, such is the quality across the division.

Ealing's pair make the cut but Blues and Hartpury are at the top of the bill

In previous campaigns, the full-time outfits have reigned supreme, but there are notable inclusions for part-time teams this season: Ampthill, Hartpury and London Scottish.

The champions have two selections in the form of outside centre Reuben Bird-Tulloch and second row Matas Jurevicius, but rather surprisingly haven't got the lion's share of this year's team, with runners-up Bedford Blues, who sealed second place with a match to spare, and Hartpury, top half finishers despite being a part-time outfit, having the joint most with three picks each.

Last season's runners-up Coventry, who failed to live up to expectations this term languishing mid-table, have two players selected as do fourth-place Cornish Pirates, while there are solitary inclusions for bottom half sides Ampthill and London Scottish, as well as third-place finishers Doncaster Knights.

Cambridge, Caldy, Chinnor and Nottingham failed to make the cut.

15. Josh Barton (Ampthill)

A superb second season in the Ampthill shirt for former Jersey Reds ace Josh Barton, who has been key to the Mob's revival since the turn of the year. He has been consistent with the boot all season long, and after moving to full-back, he has unlocked the attacking side of his game, scoring 11 league tries across the campaign, the most of any Ampthill player, and has undoubtedly been their talisman. Ealing full-back Tobi Wilson also enjoyed a fine campaign.

14. Jordan Olowofela (Doncaster Knights)
