Not much is known about the Woodborough United Football Club but it is known that they played home matches on the Pendleton Field which can be seen positioned at the bottom of this map shown as Great Pendleton. The team was first formed around the late 1800’s.


When land behind a new village hall off Lingwood Lane became available in the late 1950’s, new playing fields were developed and provision was made for a football pitch and a cricket pitch additionally two tennis courts were  also included in the playing fields scheme.


The Football club played their home matches at the new site following the club’s moved from the Pendleton fields.  

The map on the left was published for a sale of land to the east of Woodborough in 1879. Mr Pendleton’s fields are located bottom left coloured green for identification.
