HEAD COACH NOTES Hello and a very warm welcome to all our visitors to Gorton Street this weekend. The weekend starts with the First team looking to take much needed points away from a game against the league leaders Glossop. Eccles currently sit on the relegation trapdoor 3 points behind Bolton RUFC but with a game in hand. The lads will be looking to build some pressure on their Lancashire rivals but need a more consistent performance from themselves to do that with opportunities running out. The 2nd team are being hosted by old friends Aldwinians RUFC. Eccles again will looking to obtain points to climb the league table to secure their league position for 2020/21 season. Good luck to all our Men pulling on the Navy n White Hoops today I’m sure they will be leaving nothing in the tank with what’s at stake. Sunday will see our Ladies play host to Darlington Ladies at Gorton Street. Eccles have put together a run of solid performances and victories recently. A continuation of this form from coach James Wright’s team this Sunday would see them leapfrog the visitors from 5th to 4th position in the league which would pretty much cement a mid table finish for the Eccles Ladies this season. Eccles RFC’s Senior Colts host Aldwinians RUFC this Sunday in the Semi Final of the Lancs Trophy. Our guests have been very strong the past couple of seasons at Senior Colts level but Eccles have begun to find an improved level of performance recently that hasn’t been there all season, picking up some good wins in the Cup competitions. If they can raise their game, and a team, they could earn themselves place in a county final. Finally a big thank you must go out to all our sponsors without you non of what we do at Eccles RFC would be possible. I hope those that attended sponsors day last Saturday fully enjoyed themselves and got to see first hand how they support the club on a weekly basis with their generosity. Sam Simpson, Director Of Rugby / Head Coach, Eccles RFC
