Please see the note below that was sent to us today.
Raffi Quirke's Club is Broughton Park in addition to the Sale Sharks Academy. His Dad contacted the website to let us know the good news.
Raphael (Raffi) Quirke was the scrum half and Lancashire Player in the England U16 Team that defeated Wales this weekend. He plays for Broughton Park as his home and Lancashire club as well as the Sale Sharks Academy.
Raffi's Dad thought it was a good news story for Lancashire rugby, and rightly so!, as Raffi has come up through local club and age-group rugby. 'There are many Lancashire and Manchester district and club coaches who have been part of that journey.' I am sure that the coaching staff et al in Lancashire would agree.
