Eccles RFC are currently fielding three senior
men's teams, a senior women's team, both junior and senior colts and a full
range of juniors from under 8's through to under 16's. Use the navigation on
the left for further information, fixtures, results and match reports.
The Club is completely amateur with only paid bar staff. All other work in
running the Club from maintaining the grounds and buildings, running the bar
and club house along with coaching and Rugby admin is done by volunteers.
Having said that we like to think the standards are high, as a look at the
pitches and facilities will reveal and as the fact that all teams have at
least one RFU Level 1 coach attached with Level 2 coaches attached to the
senior teams demonstrates.
The Clubs philosophy of the last 15 years or so of developing the Colts,
Juniors and Minis along with the playing facilities have lead to England,
North and Lancashire representation at most youth levels. Whilst the Club is
happy and proud for those players with the highest abilities to move on to
the Premiership and National Leagues, the high standard of the Colts that
stay with the Club will hopefully lead to the Senior adult teams rising to
the highest possible level for an amateur Club.
Players can utilise the excellent gym facilities that comprise both weights and cardiovascular
machines. we also have a state of the art 3rd generation, floodlit
all-weather training area - no more ankle deep mud training sessions during
the winter months!
All new players of any age and
level from novice to seasoned campaigner are always welcome and should
either turn up for training or speak to the Captains or Coaches - see
contacts for details.
