Lockdown may have closed our clubhouse but that doesn't stop us chatting about Rugby.  Launched Friday 29th January on the Eccles RFC You Tube channel is 'ECCLES SHORTS', a series of recorded conversations with club legends.
In the first episode, our Director of Rugby, Sam Simpson, talks about his playing and coaching career and names his all-time Eccles dream team. In the second episode Ladies legend and former captain Shelley Maddocks is equally candid. We're sure those of you who have been connected with the club for many years now, especially former players, will enjoy watching. 
To ensure you don't miss future episodes, subscribe to the club's You Tube Channel and follow us on social media.
