As other posters have said, a lot of good work is being done in Irlam & Cadishead at present. Go down to Lords St any Sunday morning and you will see junior rugby of all ages. Many of the lads are relatively inexperienced at playing the games and often end up on the wrong end of the scoreline but if the level of committment and dedication can be maintained (easier said than done) the results will come.
Folly are the best run CLUB and Eccles have the best TEAM.
