ECCLES LADIES Over the last 21 seasons Eccles RFC Ladies have worked tirelessly to develop the women’s game in the Manchester area. We have been rewarded over the years with promotions, cup runs and country representation. As we enter our 22nd season we are proud offer rugby for women and girls of all ages and abilities. With a club and team ethos of rugby for everyone our qualified and skilled coaches offer a high-quality rugby experience for all whether complete amateur or old pro. After a difficult 2018/19 season we are extremely optimistic about the coming season with a new 1XV captain, multiple academy players graduating to the senior side and a strong preseason recruitment drive big things are expected. With the retention of our strong core squad and coaching team it is an exciting time to be an Eccles lady. Eccles continued their season spurred on by a home win on the opening weekend to Didsbury with another home fixture against a strong Manchester team. Although the fixture was ultimately not to go our way it was a day a many triumph’s. Eccles selected a squad of 20! A monstrous step forward from last season with a fantastic #homegrown representation. This is testament to the strong core group of committed players and coaches that have worked tirelessly to rebuild the squad. This week we take to the road for the first time with another tough fixture away at Crewe and Nantwich, Eccles enter the fray 1 and 1 hoping to add to the win column and continue this squads development.
