For all of you that follow the club on social media, you will already be
aware that with effect from Thursday 5 November, until Wednesday 2
December at the earliest, all Senior and Age Grade rugby activities will
cease at Eccles RFC and the club will return to ‘Stage A’ on the RFU
Return to Community Rugby Roadmap.
Unfortunately, this means no midweek group training sessions, no
Senior Touch Rugby on Saturdays, no walking rugby on a Monday and
Mini & Junior rugby on Sundays

can open for education and training purposes (so First Aid training
this Saturday 7 November will go ahead) but otherwise will be closed.
Naturally, this news will be very disappointing to all members. The club
is ever mindful of the possible effect of lockdown on the physical condition
and mental health of our players. Therefore, the club has already
begun working with its coaches to implement a scheme to keep all our
players engaged with off-site competitive activities over the coming
weeks.

announcement on our lockdown plans as soon as details are finalised in
the next few days.
We are still looking forward to the possibility of a club Christmas event,
so please watch out on social media for further updates as we develop
your ideas on how this could be done as a safe event for our Rugby
family.
Until then, please stay safe and stay positive.

Last Friday the RFU announced there will be no competitive league rugby
played during the 2020/21 season, which I’m sure has upset many.
Then this week, just as we’re all getting back into the swing of rugby club
life again, Lockdown 2 returns us to Stage A on the return to rugby road
map!! Not great news. However I’m still convinced we will get some
fixtures played before the end of the season, possibly in the way of a
localised mini cup competition against nearby rivals, the prospect of
which excites me quite a lot, so “watch this space“.

Good day one and all,
The Social Committee hopes to find you in good health, physically and
mentally, in these very strange times.
It has been a very discouraging time of late, for the Club's Social Committee,
as Covid restrictions have tightened, with traditional celebration
times such as Halloween and Bonfire Night disappearing off our radar,
as Tier 1 went to Tier 2, which then became Tier 3, which in turn has

from the virus, by minimising time spent in contact with others, and
you can understand why our Social activities have all but died a death.
Despite all of this, with some careful planning the club was to run a Covid

Ladies rugby is growing at Eccles RFC, with our senior group numbers
growing week on week and our junior section enjoying its first girls only
mini warrior morning the feeling around the camp is that we are building
something special.
We are exceptionally proud to have a number of young female leaders in
our group who have taken the essence of what it is to be an Eccles Lady
and ran with it. Whether they are off flourishing at the highest level of
English Women’s rugby at the likes of Sale Sharks and Loughborough

We don't need to tell anyone how different
or difficult this year has been. Undeterred,
the Eccles RFC DofE section has
tried, when possible to continue with
our activities and assist participants who
were aiming to complete their goals.
A few young people, who had luckily
already atttained other sections of their
award, were on their last stage needing
only to complete an expedition. With the
guidance of the North West DofE and
working within government guidelines
we were able to successfully carry out
alternative expeditions over two weekends
for the Bronze groups. The young
people achieved everything they would
normally do - map reading, walking,
cooking, field crafts. The only thing they
didn't do was camping out over night,
instead sleeping at home and returning
to carry on the next day. We intended to
do the same for the Silver group during
October but unfortunately the Greater
Manchester area went into tighter
lockdown restrictions so this has been
postponed until a future date.
Eccles RFC was the first rugby club in the
UK to run the prestigious DofE award
programme and we now have a decade
of experience behind us. In this time
we’ve seen 48 of our young people
achieve the highest accolade of a gold
award at a Royal Palace and over 160
more achieve Silver and Bronze recognition.
However, in recent years we have
seen diminishing numbers of our young
people wanting to take up the challenge
of a DofE award at Eccles RFC. There is no
doubt that the programme requires
determination, dedication and a
commitment in effort and time to
succeed. We encourage participation
from our players, as the benefits to
personal development and team bonding
are clear, but we respect it is not for
everyone. We hope, when some kind or
normality returns, we will be be able to
recruit and do more to keep the DofE
going at Eccles. This is not the way we
wanted to celebrate our tenth year, but
lots of organisations are in the same
boat and we will endeavour, as many
pioneers and expeditioners have done
before, to continue and overcome the
difficulties before us.

Early Eccles 1901-1914
The turbulent early years of Eccles RFC’s history were not untypical
for a club of this district. Having begun its activities during the
1880s following the Great Rugby Schism of 1895, Eccles re-established

Following the declaration of War rugby fixtures were abandoned in
September 1914. ‘Pals’ battalions were raised to encourage work
colleagues and team mates to serve together. Employers
displayed recruitment posters, speeches were given at rugby
matches, young men lied about their age and queued up to volunteer
in their thousands. Many Eccles players were amongst the
first to enlist. Harold Bowker joined the Duke of Lancaster
Yeomanry and went on to become a 2nd Lt. in the Royal Air Corp,
surviving the war and playing for Swinton Lions until 1920. Reggie
Bolton, Capt. Manchester Regiment, was killed at sea in 1918
when the hospital ship he was aboard was torpedoed by German
U-Boat. His brother John Bolton, goal- kicker for Eccles, was killed

Eccles Rugby Football Club encourage
Spectators to:
• Act as a positive role model to all.
• Behave with dignity and generosity.
• Support your club’s efforts to uphold its reputation.
• Respect Rugby’s values. Discipline and Sportsmanship
define our game.
• Respect the match officials' decisions, even if they
appear to make a mistake. Remember, they are volunteers
and without them there would be no game.
• Encourage all players irrespective of their ability.
Never ridicule a player, regardless of the shirt they
wear.
• Appreciate good performance and achievement
from all players, irrespective of their team.
• Acknowledge effort and endeavour rather than the
desire to 'win at all cost'.
• Support the players. Shout ‘for’ them not ‘at’ them.
• Never verbally abuse players, coaches, match officials
or fellow spectators; such negative behaviour
affects the players and referee’s performance and
attitude.
• Remain behind the barriers. The field is for the
competitors.
Remember children play rugby for their own
enjoyment, not for that of the spectators.
