First England Cap for Jack

Mon 10 Apr 2023 15:33

Congratulations to Jack Lightbown on achieving his first international Cap for England U18s vs France in the U18 Six Nations Festival. The game was screened live in the club on Saturday evening where his Eccles coaches and team mates cheered him on. Going one better, Matt Houghton, his Eccles Colts and Sale Sharks Academy team mate, travelled over to Dublin to watch Jack and gave him a pair of England Budgie Smugglers for his birthday! Well done Jack. We're all proud and pleased for you.

England U18s will face Italy this Wednesday 12th April, 3.15pm KO and will then play Ireland U18s next Sunday 16th April, 4.30pm KO.
