We have been busy over the winter making some significant improvements to the ground and facilities.

The entire perimeter of the ground has been cleared of undergrowth allowing a far more attractive view and more importantly, the easy finding of balls. We are also intending to erect a fence along the bottom of the 3rd and 4th team ground for even easier ball finding.

The entire outfield has been verti-drained and we have added further outfield drainage to make the ground as playable as possible, especially after the recent deluge, before the season the outfield will be over seeded too to provide a better grass coverage and Jamie has been busy ensuring the squares at Hutton remain as good as ever and Graham at Mountnessing the same.

The showers at Hutton have been improved with a pump for a greater pressure too and all changing facilities will be deep cleaned before the season.
