ECCLES LADIES A warm welcome from all of the Ladies section to the 2022/23 season. Eccles Ladies enters its 26th season this year making us one of the oldest women's sections who have consistently fielded a club team. Within this rich history is the legacy of our former players, coaches and captains written into our DNA. We are a team constantly striving to strike the perfect balance between high performance and rugby for all, offering a nurturing, inclusive environment for players of all standards to enjoy and develop. This has never been more evident than in our recent seasons since rugby returned. We currently boast players who have represented their county at Twickenham playing alongside teammates who are taking their first steps in the game all contributing equally to this ever improving side. Our leadership group, built from a cross-section of ages, experiences and characters ensures we can provide a Rugby offer that supports all and creates an exciting environment to be involved in. As we move into the season we will be returning to some familiar local settings from years gone by ad we are looking forward to making trips to local rivals; Leigh RUFC and Broughton Park venues that hold great memories from our previous rise to our highest competitive level. With the addition of Vagabond Ladies to our league we are also treated to an international fixture which is sure to be a weekend away we won't forget. We are very excited about the potential of this group and we welcome any new member looking to be involved in our journey. Players, Spectators, Coaches or someone looking to get a little bit fitter, there is a place for you. We welcome any support down at Gorton Street on Sunday afternoons, whether you are a seasoned campaigner for the women's game or if this is your first match experience we truly value your vocal encouragement from the touchline and hope you enjoy the game. James Wright // Eccles RFC Women's Head Coach
