More Success For Lymm Touch Rugby

Although it hasn’t been officially announced yet, but will be in the next few days.

Simon Ince has been appointed by the ETA as head coach for England Men’s 50s Touch team. The appointment for this new age category for England (GB 50s who he played for in the World Cup was because none of the home nations ran a team) is for the run up to the 2023 World Cup.

He will be selecting the squad this weekend at Nationals as well as being player captain for the NW Men’s 45s team.

It may be a short lived position as the ETA don’t want player coaches if possible and he is hoping to make the England 50s team for next years European Championships in Nottingham

They will be training once a month in the run up to the Euros in July 2023.
