Fair play to Royston Town FC for getting the game on against Bishop's Stortford FC. I don't envy their groundsman! 😬 Didn't stop raining all game. Loved the optimism of the announcer letting fans know about the ladies home tomorrow! 0-0 was a fair result for 2 well matched sides.



OK... Chelsea FC, who let Sanchez give Jörgenson goalkeeping advice! 🙈🤡


Our irrigation system is all installed. Tucked neatly behind the first team scoreboard. I am glad to have this project completed (almost) ahead of the summer JK Irrigation have done a very good job. I am looking forward to firing the system up soon!



Top work from Chris Horsler today. Cut @ 19mm, verti cut, cut @ 17mm. Nearly at summer height, wicket prep starts next week on the squares. Not long now, rain please!



Starting the season with a game against the MCC today. Touch on the green side after being under the covers for a few days but confident it will play well. Top work by Chris Horsler as always.


Me, Chris Horsler and the grounds team at Bedford have put a real shift in this week to get us to here. 7 fixtures today. Pictures of the 1st 2nd and Pemberley squares below. When our Clegg hammer arrives we can gather some more data. Moisture content is good though. 💧🌱


Another beautiful sunny day at Bedford School. Every cricket area in use today, so it's been a busy one. Loving the weather, but could do with some rain.




Hard to believe it's been a year since I lost Hunter. Couldn't have asked for a better Dogs Of Turf dog. People say you don't appreciate them until they are gone. I did, he was fantastic. He'd only just turned 8. Still feel robbed. Hug your pets, people they don't last forever.





We tried something a little different today. I suspect this might be a bit marmite for the purist, but I think it works. Outstanding work with the deck as always Chris Horsler.
