2XV: The club is awaiting news from Blackburn on the playabilty of their pitch tomorrow. Currently the Blackburn v Eccles 2s fixture is ON.   

3XV: Following a pitch inspection at Gorton Street this afternoon, tomorrow's home fixture Eccles 3s v Oldham 2s is OFF.

BEER: The good news (at least for the 1XV and 3XV players) is that the clubhouse will still be open tomorrow and all are invited to meet up at 3pm before heading out for the evening to the Seven Brothers Tap Room for the player's annual Flat Cap and Christmas Jumpers night out. 

COLTS: There will be a further pitch inspection tomorrow afternoon to determine if the Senior Colts v Sandbach Quarter Final cup tie can go ahead on Sunday, 2pm KO. (With the predicted temperature not expected to rise above 0 degrees, as things stand, it looks unlikely)
