Astroturf handover
Last Monday was a big day for Mrs Walkland: after years of planning and pestering, her dream of an AstroTurf on Cundall grounds became a reality. Just 10 weeks after the start of work on the site, the contractors effectively handed over responsibility of the pristine pitch to the Games Department. After a quick photocall, (Mrs Walkland’s and the players’ eagerness to get going hastening the formalities!) Mrs Walkland blew the whistle for the start of the first ever game on the carpeted pitch. It was an emotional moment for Mrs Walkland, and a very exciting one for the players who certainly seemed in their element.
