I would like to add my congratulations to the winners of the groundsman of the year awards. All involved deserved the accolades bestowed upon them for some real commitment to their various cricketing establishments. The awards go some way in recognising the skill and dedication of groundsman at the grass roots level across the UK and beyond. I would also like to thank Alistair and Jim from Cricket world and the Pitchcare team for putting on such a fitting and enjoyable day.
