Football
Saddleworth 3Ds Football Club
We were established in 1992, so local children could enjoy playing football. Originally attracting children from Delph, Dobcross and Denshaw (the 3Ds in our name) we now attract players from across the area who attend our soccer school and play for our youth teams that go from under 7’s to under 17’s. We also run three open age teams and an over 35’s veterans team.
