A huge thank you to Simon Lee and our ground staff this year 🙌 Faced with a pretty damp summer, they produced some fantastic pitches at Utilita Bowl which saw some great matches played 👊

With in different weather this week we’ve still managed a productive few days Utilita Bowl squares and outfields being sprayed with TurfCare prowet evolve helping move the water through allowing us to give some squares their first cut, run ups spiked and seeded too.

Awesome work from these guys today cutting the nursery square and one net block along with strimming around the fence line #topjob also meant we could spend the afternoon re levelling some ends that have washed away or sunk from all the rain after renovations

Relax recharge beautiful way to start the week
