Voting is Open

This is an update on the Annual Dinner and Awards evening. As you may already be aware the committee of SSSC have taken the decision to cancel this year’s annual dinner due to the latest coronavirus information and advice. We decided that a postponement was not practical due to the uncertainty of how, when and if the season finishes. However, as a committee we have decided that the players efforts of the season so far deserve our support, appreciation and recognition from you the supporters and so the voting for the annual awards will go ahead. The voting was going to open on 30th March and close on 19th April, now the voting will open on 19th March and still close on 19th April, so plenty of time to make your decisions. The results will be announced on the website and social media from 20th April. Whether we give an actual physical award and how and when is still to be determined depending on several factors one of which will be the latest coronavirus advice.

Let’s give the player’s our support in these difficult times and register your votes at

you will get an auto response to say thank you for your vote.

Due to current Government advise on public gatherings the Dinner has been cancelled. Anyone who has paid will be refunded. The Funbus to Wasps has also been cancelled as the Premiership have postponed all games up until the weekend of 24^th - 26^th April. The Leicester FunBus has now been cancelled due to the extension of the shutdown by Premiership Rugby.

The Christmas raffle for Chris Ashton's boots and the signed England shirt raised £587. A big thank you to everyone that bought tickets.

SSSC £6,850 'ACADEMY PRESENTATION'

Sale Sharks Supporters Club have once again made a considerable donation to Sale Sharks Academy to help fund this year's pre-season tour to North Yorkshire, developing U16 & U18 morale and essential skills. Including pre-season 'friendlies' v Falcons & Ulster.

With the final figures now available for participating academy players travelling on tour now being 83 the SSSC have increased our donation to a final figure of £6,850.00 to help cover increased costs.

Brendan Thomas - Sale Sharks Academy Manager received a cheque for £6,750 from Joe Parsonage - SSSC Chairman. The presentation was made at the Sale Sharks Season Ticket holders Open Day / BBQ at Carrington High Performance HQ on Saturday, 7th July 2018.

Academy Manager Brendan Thomas says, "It's the first time we've taken two groups at once, so it'll be a challenge, staffing and resource-wise. Thanks to the financial help from the Supporters' Club (£6,850), and our own club obviously, we're in a position to go ahead".

"We'll initially be based at Queen Ethelburga's College near York, a boarding school with facilities so fantastic that they were available to international squads when the Rugby World Cup was here in 2015. They'll be perfect for us!

"Both age groups are playing games against Yorkshire Carnegie in shortened versions of the game, as it's outside of the season and it's also in preparation for the National Festivals the following week, when the same rules and timings will be in place.

"On the Monday, we'll stay for another day of recovery, using the pool and analysing what happened in the matches. On the Tuesday, we'll visit Action Zone, some fifteen miles away, where there's going to be combat warfare in teams, plus activities such as axe throwing, archery and shooting: time for team bonding among players and staff.

"We then head North to Durham, where we'll be staying at Barnard Castle School. We'll be sharing accommodation with Newcastle Falcons Under-18 and Under-16 squads overnight.

"On Wednesday morning, the Under-16's start us off with a game against the Falcons in the same format. In the afternoon, the Under-18's face the Newcastle and Ulster Academies in a three-way shortened tournament.

"Falcons are hosting a barbeque before we head back to Carrington, early evening. We'll always have between nine and eleven staff on hand. Neil Briggs, Warren Spragg, Noel Speed and Darren Lamon will be lead coaches.

"The best feedback that we receive from players and parents is that the quality time spent together builds up relationships, not only for the season, but for life. It's massively beneficial for what we're trying to achieve with the players in preparation for professional rugby."
