Eccles RFC is celebrating more than one milestone in 2022. Not only is it our club's 125th Anniversary, it's also 10 years since our first Eccles Beer Festival in March 2012.  We will be announcing our plans for this year's festival tomorrow, before the match, when we welcome our sponsors with complimentary hospitality in appreciation of their support this season.  Providing the afternoon's refreshments will be our brewing neighbour First Chop, also celebrating their 10th year of beer!
As a special taster of what is to come later this summer, our bar will have FIVE First Chop beers on over the weekend, two of which are not normally available in cask:
HOP (Ultra Pale Ale)
POW (Juicy Session Ale)
JAM (Mango Pale Ale)
DDH Idaho 7 (Hazy Pale Ale, US Hops)
DDH Nelson Sauvin & Rakau (Hazy Pale Ale, NZ Hops)
Sunshine, rugby, beer, all here, tomorrow.
1XV Eccles v Liverpool St Helens 2.15pm KO
