Today’s going report from Mark Lucey -
We are comfortable with the ground conditions and, together with the Barbury Estate team, have done everything possible to present the ground as well as it can be on this wonderful old turf.

A huge amount of work has gone in behind the scenes and we will continue to monitor conditions closely throughout the weekend.
