DIRECTOR OF RUGBY Hello and a very warm welcome to all who visit Gorton Street for the 2024/25 season, and what a year we are in for, after all four Eccles men’s teams gained promotion last season. Well, what can I tell you about the season ahead? We, as a coaching, leadership and playing group intend to have fun! We intend to continue in our endeavour to play open, attractive rugby throughout the section, rugby that all spectators will enjoy to watch. We intend to continue developing that steely side to our game which all strong, ambitious teams require to be successful, especially once those colder, wetter months come our way! As with all seasons, we’ve said goodbye to people who made a contribution to an extremely successful period for the club, but with that, we should be excited about the new faces that have joined us to take us forward in the next chapter of our journey. So I hope you’ll all be as fired up and optimistic about the year ahead as I am, and I look forward to seeing you all at the bar over the course of the year. Lastly, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our club sponsors and volunteers. Without you we definitely couldn’t achieve all the shiny bits & bobs we have in recent seasons. I hope we continue to make you proud and motivated to continue your much valued support. Sam. Sam Simpson // Director of Rugby // Eccles RFC
