Mike Brewer, head Coach at Sale Sharks, has wholeheartedly endorsed Neil's decision to assist one of the oldest clubs in the country in this our 150th anniversary year as part of Sharks commitment to grass roots rugby in the local community.

Assisting Director of Rugby Elaine Vassie and her other coaches in producing a competitive squad in National League 2 North at Manchester Rugby Club will enable Briggs to complete his level three coaching qualification.

Elaine is pictured presenting Briggsy with a Manchester training top during a break in the pre-season training session last Thursday evening at Grove Lane which was attended by over 40 players.

The club are however still on the lookout for more recruits for the forthcoming season and invite any prospective recruits to contact Elaine at the club (07545775875).
