Groundcare Awards 2019 - To nominate the ground person at your club click here

The Awards have been introduced to recognise the dedication and hard work that groundcare individuals put into maintaining and producing cricket squares and outfields, for reactional clubs, schools and universities in the UK and Ireland.

We also hope that the Awards will raise the profile and awareness of groundcare staff (without whom there would be no cricket) and also, encourage and promote the Groundcare industry.
