Despite humble beginnings, the club emerged as the most successful in Manchester & District League history.

In a transformative moment, Rod & Alfrieda Kindon, alongside a dedicated committee, discovered a derelict open-air school in Eccles.

Through hard work and volunteer efforts, this site became the former clubhouse, marking a turning point as the club was renamed Eccles ARLFC.

Over 40 players, including notable names such as Ian Watson, Nathan McAvoy, and Adrian Morley, progressed to elite level rugby and coaching.

Despite a brief relegation, they swiftly returned and even produced a top-class under 18’s team that secured the club's first County title, the Lancashire Cup, in 1993-94.
