Rejuvenated pitch

A Saturday visit found tractors and sand and new posts all out on the pitch, great work from our partners, Newcastle Football Club. This has been one of our hardest winters on the pitch, with all the warmth and damp, and the surface had been horribly churned up. It will be worth all the student pain of staying off the pitch at break and dinnertime when the sand settles and the grass grows back strongly. Lets hope both the Shimna and the Newcastle teams produce playing form to match.
