SNEAK PEEK: Hampstead CC

Today we’re heading down to the big smoke, where we installed this new 3 lane ECB approved practice nets facility for Hampstead Cricket Club.

The club opted for quite a unique carpet colour way - the outer two lanes being in green carpet like the bowler’s run-up with natural pitch colour borders and the central lane being natural pitch colour carpet with green borders, displaying just how flexible and tailored our finishes are.

We think the result is striking and super-smart. 🏏

FlashbackFriday Headingley Natural Turf Works

Today we look back at a fantastic project for our team, at Headingley for Yorkshire CCC, where we reconstructed a new natural turf practice area on the edge of the square.

Using specialist laser-guided equipment, the team relaid a 50ft-wide block for practice use, including by Yorkshire’s rapidly growing women’s squad.

A privilege to work alongside Head Groundsman Richard Robinson and play our part in helping to at the highest level of professional cricket.
