HEAD COACH NOTES Hello and welcome to everyone visiting Gorton Street today. Both Eccles 1s & 2s play host this afternoon to fellow Lancastrians and probably last season’s biggest League rivals Aspull and Orrell. The Firsts will be looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing performance last time out over in the Wirral but to do that they must overcome an experienced Aspull Team who last year took the spoils in all 3 meetings seemingly holding on to Eccles kryptonite. Aspull haven’t taken to life at Level 7 as well as the men in Navy & White so far this season but will definitely be viewing this game as one to kick on from. The 2s will also be looking to get back to the form they had in the first weeks of the season before picking up two loses recently, non more painful than last weekend’s Derby defeat to Neighbours Della. Again Orrell offer stiff opposition and Eccles’ men know they have to be at their very best, physically and mentally, to win this one after two extremely competitive fixtures last season saw the clubs share the spoils one each. Good Luck to everyone today and thank you for all your support. Sam Simpson, DoR / Head Coach, Eccles RFC
