Our Turf Needs some Help

With a great deal of hard work and investment on the pitch in the close season we are starting to see the basis of an excellent playing surface despite the harsh hot weather conditions that we have had to deal with.

One of the challenges as the competition gets into its stride in August is we want to keep it that way and make sure our pitch is constantly cared for, and we do everything we can to maintain a surface that gives the ability to play great football. Whilst a full ongoing care and maintenance package has been agreed there are lots of other things we can do.

Our Head Groundsman Dennis Ecclestone is asking for four volunteers to replace divots at both half time and full time from the beginning of the season to make sure we do all we can to keep it in tip top condition. Replacing divots helps keep the surface level and maintain an even ball roll and prevents weed grasses and weeds establishing themselves.

If you have the desire to help, please text your name and details to Den first please on 07743 526804 and he will contact you.

You will make a difference, and we will in return have a free pint waiting for you in the club after the game.

So, what are you waiting for put your best foot forward and give send Dennis a message.
