Andrew Tillotson to coach Sharks NCL Team

Shaw Cross Sharks are pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Tillotson as the Head Coach for the 2020 National Conference League season.

He'll be looking to continue the good work he's done so far after taking on his current role of Pennine League coach alongside his Assistant Martin Woodhead, who will also stay in position. The pair have used a lot of last seasons under 16's and under 18's in the Pennine League during their so far unbeaten start to the league season.

Club Chairman Brett Turner said "Tilly and Martin have done a fantastic job so far and it really is encouraging to see them integrating the young lads into open age rugby so seamlessly. It was always what we hoped for when we decided to enter the winter league and they really have excelled in the short time they've had. With this in mind it made perfect sense when they applied for the NCL job to have that continuity and give them the opportunity that they've earned with the strong start they've made in their coaching careers. We had some fantastic candidates apply for the job and I'd like to thank them all.
In Tilly we know that we have a man in charge that really has the club at heart. He's been with us a long time as a player and the leadership that he showed on the field is really shining through off it. It's an exciting time for us as a club to have a young, enthusiastic coaching team at the helm of a squad that has a very bright future.
With this appointment we're thinking long term and I know that the coaches are too."

We will hold a players meeting for anyone interested in playing NCL rugby at the club on Tuesday 17th December at 7.30pm in the Members Bar. Andrew Tillotson cam also be contacted on: 07736 308729 by any players old and new that would like to chat to him about his plans for the Open Age in 2020.
