Top RFU volunteer recognition for Mr Wright

Sun 09 Jul 2023 23:18

The club is delighted to congratulate Homegrown James Wright who has been recognised in the 2023 RFU Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards, in the 'Game For All' category, for his achievements and outstanding contribution to his club and community over the past 12 months.
Alongside his work in local schools as the Community Rugby Coach and Ladies Head Coach for Eccles RFC, James has also been instrumental in establishing and building the Northern Girls Network to encourage the growth of Women’s and Girls Rugby.
James will now go forward to represent Lancashire and Eccles in the National Awards, at Twickenham in the Autumn.
Anyway, before then there's a patio to build and flags to lay. Crack on James!
