Have a read of the latest update from Keith and the Team –
MASCOT PACKAGE
Today’s mascot is Noah Rhodes-Dawson who is regular Saturday Club attender.
Noah attends Smithybridge Primary School, he is also a member of First Rochdale Scouts and the M6 Theatre company. He goes to football training at Todmorden and his favourite player is Calvin Andrew. He loves going to watch The Dale with his best mate Finlay. His ambition is to be rich and famous so he can take the club to the Premiership, although he says Keith Hill will get us there anyway.

There is no scheduled birthday today but we have invited Jayden Greenwood and his friends to be our guests as they were meant to be celebrating at the last home match against Leyton Orient that fell foul of the weather.

HALF TIME CHALLENGE MATCH
Today we feature a girls only game involving Tonacliffe Primary School and St Josephs Primary School, Shaw as we diversify into another popular activity which is the biggest growing sport in England at the present time, namely women’s/girls football.
Please support them as normal and hopefully we will witness another cracking spectacle.
