Eccles Borough band has made an unprecedented start to the autumn contesting season after completing their second successive victory at a major contest under the baton of Marieka Gray.

Maiden victory

A few weeks ago the band travelled to compete in the Wychavon Entertainment contest to record their maiden victory under Marieka’s direction, and have since followed that up with a second victory at the Fleetwood contest.

Both Marieka and the band have worked really hard over the last few months and it is great to see that this hard work is paying offChairman, Alex Hill

Band Chairman Alex Hill added: "Both Marieka and the band have worked really hard over the last few months and it is great to see that this hard work is paying off."
