A Miracle?

Much concern was expressed about the condition of the Arbo square after being played on when very wet in a midweek friendly : that the strip would take decades to recover.

O ye of little faith. In fact after just 4 weeks the pitch is well on the way to a full recovery. Divine intervention??



Mind you it was then churned up a bit again by Smudger's nasty machine....


The square is now scarified. Top dressing/ overseeding will hopefully take place next Saturday -volunteers required.

    I won't be able to make it next week. But then, I wasn't able to make it this week.

    Happy humping.

    So to speak.

    Just use the roller, i'm sure it made for an excellent football pitch the next day a couple of years ago when we rolled the penalty area for them

    'Any tips for repairing divots Chucky'

    my view:

    don't bother replacing the divot-unless it comes out in one chunk and the ground is moist.

    instead carry round a mixture of seed, soil and sand and fill your divots with it.

    given the way you play, make it a large sack
