Saddleworth 3Ds U10s had a call up for Oldham Athletic at the weekend, when they had the privilege of acting as flag bearers for the teams as they entered the pitch at Boundary Park.
It wasn’t just any fixture though. This was a local derby with Rochdale, which is always a tasty affair and meant the pressure was on for the U10s! M & C Risk Solutions sponsor a number of the Saddleworth 3Ds teams, including the U10s and Tony Morris, MD of M & C also coaches there.
Tony says: “It’s always great to see our players support their local pro club this way. The boys were really excited to be involved. I’m sure there were a few big match nerves but you could tell they all enjoyed it.”
There was no winning on the pitch though, although Oldham were probably the more relieved to come away with a 1-1 draw having conceded after five minutes!
