ECCLES JUNIORS Spotlight on … Eccles U8s Eccles Under 8s are an awesome outfit. Experts of tag and hotdog connoisseurs, this band of warriors are readying for full contact Rugby Union… Led by Head Coach Alan Bent, this team have a fierceness and flair in equal measure. Benty’s expertise in coaching Mini Rugby has imprinted on another battalion and they’re stepping up to the mark. From his tried and tested training techniques to his warmth and understanding; Alan still sets the tone and standard for coaching youngsters at Eccles. Expertly assisted by all of Stuart, Sam, Allan, Gaz and Kyne…the strength runs deep in this team and the lads are lucky to have such helpful hands at every turn. Team manager Carmel makes the job look easy. A valued volunteer at Eccles, Carmel juggles everything from fixtures, first aid and fantastic photos in between! Fielding multiple teams on a weekly basis, the boys are competitive and compassionate. A focus on the core values of teamwork and communication are the backbone of this unit. Boasting siblings up and down the Junior section has secured their future as Eccles Juniors. Their smiling faces and budding talents are exciting spectators and visitors aplenty. Both dogged and determined in attack and defence, they are looking forward to contact rugby in September. Their Minis experience has been fun, fast and flamboyant. But when these boys get a chance to run without tags, we think they’ll be a real, #homegrown HIT! Dan Nicholls // Eccles RFC Mini & Junior Chairman
